For curiosity's sake, what app was it? Can apps regularly get a list of other installed apps?

Maybe I'm naive but I get the feeling open source is more about convincing the megacorps that they can get better, cheaper and higher quality software without vendor lock-in by cooperating with the other megacorps. Not so much as convi

Wait a second, where is it said that those 75% were made by volunteers and not by for example the many companies contributing to the Linux kernel?

I think that society and companies benefit from FOSS even if there's no or little profit in doing it. Sure that are corporate OSS jobs, but think of all the societal benefit that comes from one-man or community FOSS projects. I feel th

It is at most as dangerous, probably less, as any other software I install on my computer. Why should I be allowed to install arbitrary PC software but not extensions?

Yes but if the Pharaoh decided he wanted a golden chariot made out of the state treasury, would someone complain that's the state's gold, not the Pharaoh's gold?

And as the meme says, the tech is cool bro. Do the people who want to make cyberpunk real mean they want to make corporatocracy real or they think VR videogames would be fun? And aren't there degrees of "bad" to cyberpunk no

Not an expert but AFAIK these demographic transitions are when an economy has the highest share of its population as economically active adults. It's a well known challenge to use that opportunity to develop and become rich enough to d
