Works for the devil and then complains it’s evil.

Kind of on you, buddy. If you can get a job there, you can get a job many places and not be complicit in this.

I don’t mind asset restriction and branding but with that, they should allow you to swap out assets and brand names. No freedom to distribute.

TIL. Thanks for the explanation.

“Source available” is the accepted term. Without a legitimate well tested open source license, it isn’t free to distribute and therefore doesn’t meet the one of the 4 principles of open source.".

Is this tech news or public relations? We already know they gone all in on AI bullshit.

Another day, another xitter red line, but they’ll be back on it in 2 weeks.

Still waiting for twitter users to get principles and a backbone.

Remember they have a lot of data centres planned. This is just the start. 8% of aviation emissions is huge. We should be shrinking that number ASAP, not growing it.

People ran so hard from the Tories that they didn’t consider Blue Labour would be dreadful also. Right now Labour and Tories are politically in danger and Reform and the Green Party are surging. Folk are fed up of parties not representing them. They just haven’t fully cottoned on that that also applies to Reform. Greens are probably the main hope right now. Membership trebled to 180k. Polling close to Labour.

They aren’t left. Starmer and chums undermined the left-wing leader of Labour. They’re the pro-business wing of the party. New Labour folks were always dreadful for this sort of thing. Many authoritarian changes are coming from the centre, in UK, France, Denmark etc.

It all feels co-ordinated as states and their representatives squeeze down on working people.

Gosh, and these powers could be handed to Farage.

They could be complicit in what comes next.

Maybe recruiter referral reward. They sometimes pay in gift cards.

In UK, you get a year warranty on electricals from the retailer. You take back and they’ll swap. No dealing with manufacturer BS.

Consumer laws are important.

Isn’t there a right to not self-incriminate?

All the more reason to build open source alternatives.

Folk were plowing contributions into Linux for decades and it’s pretty mature now :).

They needed time for their journalists to get there. They’re too busy on the beaches counting migrant boat crossings.

Yeah. The truce with the native American’s was not favoured and banning slavery wasn’t acceptable…

Cause using AOSP benefits Google’s ability to limit their app restrictions.

Tell me you don’t understand open source without telling me you don’t understand it…

You give off some real “Well achkshuslly” enlightened centrist vibes here.

Not OP but GrapheneOS on a Pixel probably works quite well. Got independent app stores such as FDroid etc.

Oh shit. That’s memories. Creeped me the hell out back in the day…

I’d second that. I grew up in a really supportive family, but when I got to teenage years, I kept stuff to myself. Wanted to solve my problems myself. Pride and embarrassment and nothing to do with how they parented.
