It’s your choice of course, but in the messaging world of gatekeepers and walled gardens, I think AGPL makes the most sense. It’s a key tool we’re going to need if we want to be successful at having a federated network.

Additionally, landlords don't benefit from the higher prices (ie. market rate rent) either, since that also pushes house prices up. A landlord entering the market has a higher capital cost that absorbs the higher rental return, such th

The problem is in remembering the voice commands. I could never do it. Word the command slightly “wrong” and it won’t work at all (at least not in my 2014 VW). I’m optimistic that the latest progress in AI will fix this when the technology

There is a limit. The cost of electricity required is bounded by the value of the reward (block reward plus transaction fees). The value of the reward is bounded too, since the "import" of electricity into the Bitcoin economy is i

There's no reason to hold the parents culpable. It would be up to the device manufacturer to ensure that this isn't possible on a system that has parental controls enabled. This is already a solved problem - see how MDM solutions

I'd be OK with an "I am a child" header mandated by law to be respected by service providers (eg. "adult sites" must not permit a client setting the header to proceed). On the client side, mandate that consumer devi

I don't see how MTBF is connected to obsoletion. My razors don't last long either. I buy replacement razors as required. But the model of razor I use doesn't obsolete.

You need to explain how one is supposed to distinguish and exclude "namespaces pretty much nobody uses" when writing code in this ecosystem. My understanding is that a typical Node developer pretty much has no control over what ge

Theoretically it would hold its value and there would be a secondary market. Then she'd pay for the upgrade and not an entirely new machine. I wonder if that's the case for Miele.

It was always possible to create these kinds of images. Only you needed to be (or find) a highly skilled yet unscrupulous artist to do it, which didn't happen in practice. Now AI has commoditised this. It's not going to go away. R

A plain reading of your quote still does not provide any evidence of GP's claimed "F-droid does not want to be the outreach person/org for any issue on an app".
