FWIW, there are large publishers which successfully negotiate with the ilk of Microsoft[1] and Sony[2] to get a better revenue split, as consoles in fact have more functional competition than mobile phone app stores: people who own a gaming

So, I feel like your arguments is "AI is useful, like cars, so there won't be a bubble"; but like, I think we must all agree that the Internet is useful, and yet there certainly was the ".com bubble". We've occ

But the result is that you can't assume that this is the case: you have to actually look in a case-by-case basis to decide if the chatbot you are using -- one which has no understanding of copyright as nuanced as either of us -- merely

If BlueSky truly believes that there will even be an "official app (or the web site)" for their decentralized protocol--the one they claim they only even developed a client for at all in order to promote the usage of--then they ha

The former doesn't make much sense in a distributed system where we expect to have multiple clients--and, preferably, no dominant one!--as there is no reason for the people you are restricting to opt in to that restriction. > B) Mak

But knowing you can repeatedly get away with incompetence is malice. Hanlon's razor is used as an excuse for moral culpability, as if who is merely incompetent isn't evil; but, once you point out how that level of incompetenc

You are thinking of Rotor. FWIW, I also feel as if Portable.NET--which was rebranded at some point to DotGNU when I think it was even donated to the FSF--had predated Mono in functioning? The Mono website has an archive of an old mailing li

Pretty much any distribution you are on is going to let you install mingw, but you should also be able to just use clang and ldd these days (though the header files and library stubs would still come from mingw, unless you want to just comp

The only reasons there are any issues with kind of issue merging code between different projects is 1) if you want to abuse users (which we should have no sympathy for) and 2) because Linus screwed everything up by modifying the GPLv2 to re

Sure, but now we would need to find another epicycle for why giving a for-profit corporation this dangerous power over its licensees is safe/benign. There is, at times, some logic to "the exception that proves the rule".
