But it literally isn't that, as an author in depending on it you reduce your liberty. The software is free, those dependent on are not free. You could argue well it's free to users, but there's a level of survivorship bias du

I feel point 1 is a more specific example of point 4. Point 3 makes sense because banks are handling peoples money, I don't know enough about point 2. However point 1 & 4 is more about market power than anything else, point 3 is mo

Just confirming, I've seen that the title between the post and link are inconsistent incase there's any confusion. While I agree, the difference is significant, and it is often the case that a a decent tutorial/blog post on a

I would love more outlets for creative coding, I feel like neocities is a bit like that. That said there isn't really a scene or real sense of community (AFAIK). I mean someone liked something I uploaded once, but I never interacted wi

If Apple or Google convinced a court you formed a cartel then that's the end of the story. Whether it's a cartel in the eyes in the public would be irrelevant.

Ultimately it’s them that has market power. To meaningfully challenge it, developers need to agree to withheld supply like a cartel (illegal?) or union. I think it’s probably close to the union scenario in an industry with a single employer

It isn't too hard to find resources on this for anyone genuinely looking to get a deeper understanding of a topic. I think a blog post (likely written for SEO purposes, which is in no way a knock against the content) is probably the wr

My knowledge of geospatial sets is fairly shallow, but I’ve worked a bit with Australian map data and I’m assuming are you referring to the different CRSs, GDA2020 and GDA1994? I’d imagine older coordinates would work with the earlier CRS?

This feels like a pretty dramatic response when this is already a problem with child_process.exec and most shell scripting languages in the first place. I’m not sure what you’re expecting if you’re taking arbitrary IO output to build up a p
