Probably because the US let software be a breeding ground for monopolies. People invest there because they understand that's the best sector to, if the company works out, get unreasonable returns. As an example, the current AI valuatio

Why the hell would a dishwasher need to be connected, or smart for that matter? I just want clean dishes/clothes, not to be upsold into some stupid shit that fails when it can’t ping google.com or gets bricked when the company closes.

More than just counter-strike, HL's modding system spawned a generation of new games: team fortress, day of defeat, Sven co-op, echoes, ricochet, etc. Several of them were good enough for Valve to ship them into later editions of HL, a

I do agree it's not a good way to do it and mass surveillance is part of what we'll get as a result.

I’m not sure that the issue is just a technical distinction between humans and bots. Rather it’s about promoting a web serving human-human interactions, rather than one that exists only to be harvested, and where humans mostly speak to bots

You're mixing two things here: having an app with more than just CRUD interactions, and making that app an SPA. My point was giving an example of an app that's a bit more featured than just some forms in a CRUD interface, not that

So you’d need to select a sale, enter a change form, select a new date and validate the change. As opposed to moving the item on your planning. Accessibility issue is a good point, but the accessible way doesn’t need to be the only way.

It really depends on what you call CRUD, but for instance, in the past, I've had frontends hiding the crud behind more "friendly" gestures. For instance, a write such as rescheduling a sale could be done with drag&drop, r

I suspect we'll see AI's claim to fair use be challenged even in the US. The claim to be transformative is mostly based on the "shape" of the information being delivered (i.e. the AI rephrases the information). However,
