Yikes, I had that exact impression until I read your comment and looked again. Thanks for noticing this, I agree it's a chart crime.

> Prices are never going down, even if the shortage eases. Why would this be the case? I don't see a fundamental market failure.

Speak for yourself. I have a modern machine running Fedora. What walled gardens are you talking about? Buying a Mac is a choice that you may make, but I never will.

Did any sci fi books predict an AI world where computer hardware was soaked up by AI mega corps and compute was undemocratized?

Until America bans actual guns I don't want to hear about the "growing problem" of 3D printed guns.

I honestly can't tell if this is a joke or not.

Ah yes "the west" and "China", the two populations of earth.

Do you not see the conflict between seeing the same incorrect behaviour again and again, and having a firm rule that expressly forbids the easiest fix to that behaviour?

I'll keep buying whatever games seem fun to me. I rarely play a game more than a year or two, they become stale and boring to me. I genuinely, genuinely do not care if the game stops working in 12 years time. Could not possibly care le

Do you know what a rhetorical situation is? Do you understand that the parent was not actually seeking answers to these questions, but was using the questions themselves to make a point about the Git UI?

It's ridiculous is what it is. It makes me deeply distrustful of the organisation behind Graphene that they would make such a crazy choice.

I don't see how it's relevant. I couldn't possibly have made it any more clear I would not buy a Google device, new or used, because I don't like Google.

What about the cohort that would care about it if they were aware of it? Or the cohort that cares about it but doesn't know such things can be blocked?

It's not possible to buy them at all where I live, even if I wanted to funnel money to Google - which I do not. I have gone to great lengths to de-Google my life.

So I still need to buy a Google phone to get it? No thank you.

Hamas also has widespread support within Palestine. Overwhelmingly the population of Palestine supports the actions of October 7. There is no clean separation between Palestine and Hamas, as much as one side wants you to believe there is.

"Staging" is not and has never been a military analogy. All kinds of workers have staging areas. Brick layers stage their work before laying. Builders stage materials. Staging is an area where you place your work before you begin

The overwhelming majority of computer users simply DO NOT CARE about things like "install a binary blob" or "free-software hostile vendor" or "non-existent Linux support". They installed the plugin and got a wa

That is a view of the American Republican party that is multiple decades out of date.

Funny they're never afraid of their competitor's models, but the ones they build (and release) are just soooooo scary.

I don't think any software has ever wasted as much of my time as Brew. I can't think of a single positive experience I have had with it. I now absolutely refuse to use it for any reason.

The iPhone app store mania is not at all representative of the state of industry as a whole. Most software jobs did not look like this, at all.

I think this is the jaded HN way of seeing AI in products. It's not reality. I work on a popular consumer product (from well before AI existed) which is incorporating more and more AI features. When we release AI features they receive

What exactly are you arguing?

Frankly it's none of your business why, and it's completely irrelevant. The fact is that this 3p code exists and this law needs to account for it or it's unworkable.
