Interestingly Estonian might be nowadays an exception to the trend you mentioned and used the other names earlier. People call wolves and bears respectively "hunt" and "karu" instead of "susi" (the same as to w

In Estonia we have an personal identification code, it is never used as authentication, only for differentiating between people, we have Estonian ID card for authentication and identification.

Which publishers is the control taken away? You're claiming news outlets have to be super afraid of punishment if they don't do AMP. That's empirically false, many news outlets dominate (or share the dominance) markets withou

Signed exchanges are a thing, I don't see how Google intervenes there more than just providing the AMP standard.

But giving the control of the traffic to some third party website is okay? Not really. Especially not really with signed exchanges.

They're working on signed exchanges, you'll soon see the "real URL" of the content.

They could, but then we'd see a lot of cheaters even there, AMP is very locked down. I don't like the market position abuse either, but the other parties are far from guilt free.

Unfortunately site owners haven't debloated without AMP. "Reader Mode" is much less perfect than a proper AMP page.

How is using an external service to debloat pages okay but AMP isn't? Feels ass-backwards to me.

GPL is harmful to developer freedoms but incredibly beneficial to user freedoms. Please do not conflate the two.

In practice, letting things run their own course ("nothing changes") one of the methods of resolving the issue, indeed.

So there's two options, either the software is released GPL or they have no right to use the source and it's in violation and has to be resolved?

Well, it's not freeing software unless they release the game GPL, if they don't then they're just illegally using GPL source code making the source far from anything free.

Can you please cite where it says that? OAuth requires API keys, I don't see how you could get those without anything Apple-related.

Unless this becomes open for everyone, even for web devs that do not specifically have an Apple device and Apple Developer Licence, I do not see it getting far.

The archivist in me loses this fight, I feel general adhering to software freedoms is more important and the greater good compared to a single game.

I'm pretty sure the answer is "yes" if the violation is true and the game has been distributed. Tit for tat.

You can play using a "minimum" requirement PC as well. Out of all the things getting heavier, some remake opting in to better visuals is not the one you should be calling a "monstrocity".

Native player in Chrome doesn't seem to download videos in big enough chunks or doesn't buffer well enough for smooth playback in some cases. I've seen it several times myself.

The "You must release changes"-clause and anti-tivoization clause might be not be enough individually to switch to MIT zsh but probably were together good enough reasons for Apple to switch.

Signal requires a phone number. If anything, use Keybase, you'll also get good team handling, file sharing and bunch of other nice convinience features.

Bitwarden seems to work quite nicely as well but in addition to that Bitwarden is open-source.

Some screenshots display that it also works on the web, I'd love to find out how exactly but I ain't buying an Apple device and a developer license for that.

Unfortunately there's no way to implement this as a OAuth2 flow and without having an Apple device. Seems unreasonable to require an Apple dev account just for providing sign up - it can be tested without installing apps or just borrow

Slow machines aren't good to just easily notice bad websites, they're also good to notice bad server-side code and native apps.
