Can you share a bit more about the inappropriate and dirty reverse-engineering by ReactOS and what the deal with TinyKrnl is? This response really only answers the question for a select few people familiar with the windows reverse engineeri

Why this over ReactOS, a much more mature open source OS, which is also based on NT? https://reactos.org/

This is also a good point. YouTube didn't even had ads when it initially launched. Corpos will try to shift the deal in their favor all the time, take as much as they can take away with. I intend to do the same. If you just want to tak

Capitalism is an inherently adversarial system - Google's motivation is to extract as much value out of me at minimum cost to them. My motivation is to extract as much value out of them at minimum annoyance to me. Technology sometimes

That private youtube already exists by the way. It's called Nebula and its a project by popular yt creators.

Coming up next: Local AI model to detect and skip ads.

That's exactly what the EU's DMA does. It tends to get a lot of flak here for some reason.

Yeah there's no way this is gonna fly.

This is just a draft though, right? Not actual legislation. So while still worrying, I think your post was inaccurate - it may be the case in the future, if things go poorly. But it isn't the case right now.

What's wrong with making an infinite number? You just need to check it against one public key.

What's wrong with good ol' private keys?

> first-class development environment (Xcode) this made me lol. As somebody who does mobile dev professionally, the worst thing about iOS dev is how terrible XCode is compared to Android Studio. There's no way I would want this.

The Comission is appointed by directly elected governments, e.g. with one proxy in-between. It is as (un-) democratic as the American Presidency, considering the Electoral College. Yet you never hear complaints about the EC from the same ty

They represent me and my fellow non-extremist citizens. Is the EU perfect? No. Is it better than any alternative? Yes.

What if you're bootstrapped and are just trying to make an honest living instead of playing the VC casino?
