Google does the same with the rest of the population, don't they? The methods are different, but the results are the same.

You're dismissing the parent argument merely based on a narrow interpretation of the word complicity. The way they use it is common and correct in English language. All it needs is to aid the wrongdoing in some manner. That's exac

The mistake was committed willfully well before the first crash. Their emails during the development and testing of the Max 8 show some strongly worded exchanges clearly indicating their full awareness of the troubles with the MCAS system.

Interesting! I just remembered that there is another team that's working on plant based scaffolds (cellulose scaffolds from leaves like spinach) [1]. This one is from 2017. So I'm guessing that the interest in the technology hasn&

Are you sure about that, or is it just a guess? If that is the case, how will the open source toolchains avoid the same problem when they eventually become the industry standard? (I can imagine something like a software repository for servi

The article I cited is from 2022. At that time, the principal scientist had left the academia and was working to commercialize it. So I'm guessing it's still within your decade threshold? Besides, perhaps that threshold should be

Wait. Is the same freedom available on iOS at all? Don't you need a developer license there as well? Forget the fact that side loading and alternate stores are not possible at all.

Forget the legality altogether. The fact that they need real world validation of any form should be alarming in itself. Never forget how hard it is to resolve any issue - even falsely flagged ones - resolved with Google's support. Do y

Thinking that you can litigate every matter of user freedom against two ultra-wealthy co-monopolies of mobile OSes is frankly short sighted, if not misguided. They throw around lots of money to lawyers, lobbyists and politicians on every ca

The SimpleMobileTools fiasco and the way FDroid stayed resilient against it is the perfect example case of how their 'security' argument behind the side loading ban and developer registration mandate is hollow, misleading and harm

I think microtransaction methods still exist using cryptocurrencies. They were going to be difficult without crypto anyway, because of the hurdles that the stubborn national authorities put up in the way of an international payment system.

Does the same apply to offal of other animals? I thought that liver didn't need much processing. What am I missing here?

That's an interesting way to interpret it! I see what you mean, but I still can't see myself interpreting that headline in that way. Does it really give that vibe?

I think the lack of owner's custody of the private key in bluesky is more the result of a convenience design than of a technical limitation. If the user is expected to manage the private key, you might end up with something similar in

I haven't seen anything like it, except as part of Gitlab perhaps. But I'm sure that it would have a lot of demand and has the potential to become a popular project. Good luck!

That isn't entirely true. Perhaps it's because small content creators aren't a monolithic group. There are a few who try the alternative approaches and succeed. For example, whenever buying ebooks, I first check if the author
