Right, but then we are back to the question of how these companies are supposed to make money. I suppose hardware manufacturers will be okay with this outcome but I’m not sure how these heavily inflated software companies will profit under a local first world. So we are back to the bubble deflating or bursting.
People will pay $10 a month for chat GPT to write their emails.
They won’t even pay that in many cases but instead rely on the free offerings. Expect those to go away altogether, to be heavily hamstring, or to become absolutely riddled with advertisements.
It’s more likely to go up in price for the foreseeable future.
Collaborative editing and the like isn’t really easy to solve with other methods. Maybe a P2P approach could be viable.
Also, I wonder what happens to these companies in the future when there are no senior developers anymore, because nobody hires junior developers to train up.
I think they are hoping they can make a bunch of businesses so dependent on them that they can’t afford to leave. Which could work, but probably not enough for them to become profitable.
On the individual side, maybe they are hoping to exploit a bunch of whales but I can’t see people on average be willing to pay for what it actually costs.
You don’t actually need the official Mullvad program either, although there’s nothing wrong with it.
I prefer to just load the wireguard config directly with network manager (or whatever your distro uses).
Magit is err… magic, but the Emacs hurdle means many avoid it understandably.
Hopefully forgejo will have federation released soon which will make interacting across projects easier. Although maybe that will just encourage the bots to use it, so can’t win really.
See what happened to Xiaomi bootloader unlocking for an example of this in action.
I think all of these have sdcard mods now (and the 360 had long had HDD mods from memory).
Visual novels are well represented and sometimes more complete than their PC counterparts as it has become pretty dominant in Japan. Other than that, I’ve never really gotten into Nintendo’s first party games either. Somehow, they just don’t hold my attention.
Once businesses were on board, Facebook hoped to sell them analytics tools, too.
Then once we’ve got them hooked, it’s Enshitttification Time!
And the Black Mirror episode Be Right Back.
They also initially took content from libgen, which is a fair bit less legal. Personally, I have mixed feelings about all of this. On the one hand, I don’t like some shitty for-profit AI company making money from the collective works of civilisation. On the other hand, I think copyright protects works for far too long anyway and most should be in the commons already. Mind you, I would be more sympathetic if Anthropic et al. were doing all this for research purposes instead of capitalism. Maybe that would be a better copyright reform, in that it expires much more quickly than the current laws (say 10 years) but restricts third parties making a profit for a longer period. Likely that would be complex to design and enforce, however.
I still complain about the lack of the headphone jack (and SD slot). It’s just become almost impossible to buy one that supports it without it being lacking in some other way. But I held out for ten years at least.
I get you’re making a broader point about how most people act and I agree.
It does require some Google service related functionality though I believe so may not work without gapps (may work with microg and graphenos has its own handling as you said).
Try zram or zswap since you’re on Linux.
What a country!
