You guys shouldn’t complain, you still have saldering (net metering) ánd get money for the electricity you have left which is still a huge subsidy.

I haven’t really used any other platforms so I can’t really compare but I have encountered enough audio issues too. Especially with new Teams and bluetooth devices.

Why go through all the hoops if they are instead just could refuse patches? Open source doesn’t mean open to contributions, look at SQLite for example.

If they had the idea to release this open source they would have said so in clear words by now. They didn’t so I don’t have much hope, unless maybe if they get enough negative publicity to change their mind.

Why does VC need to ruin everything…

How is it fake news? They are moving functionality into a proprietary SDK and have a whole framework ready to get around the GPL.

Stable bindings doesn’t mean open source, so I don’t see how that tells you it’s still on the table

It doesn’t make sense for an internal library for an open source application, it that case it’s not open source.

To be fair? Nowhere are they even suggesting they would release the SDK as FOSS, but they do say their password manager is open source. It seems like they just want a FOSS shell so they can claim it’s open source for but keep their business logic closed source.

It says the build error is a bug, not the inclusion of proprietary code.

Clearly not: https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/issues/11611#issuecomment-2424865225

So instead of spending 1 day writing good code, we’ll be spending a week debugging shitty code. Great.

Security software are also “apps”. Since Microsoft is also in the security software business locking down access for their competitors could definitely be seen as anti-competitive practices.

Apple doesn’t have a monopoly with MacOS so other rules apply.

Honestly, I’ve used some pretty decent AI chatbots. They can help you with basic questions and contact you with a human for things that require it or if you ask for it. Chatbots that don’t let you talk to a human on the other hand, those are awful.

Why?

If you read the article you would have seen Linux is supported

That was just an excuse, they just couldn’t get the parts. Radar is back now.

Because it’s called Full Self Drive and Musk has said it will be able to drive without user intervention?

I have to run out of the bathroom when my wife uses her Dyson hair dryer because it hurts my ears, and you’re telling me this is by design?!

Exactly, in the best case a shitty form of democracy.

You have zero power as a citizen over the currency you use. You do not directly vote for the Central bankers, Federal Reserve board, etc. Even the politicians you might vote for who appoint them will almost always side in their own favor than their constituents.

I didn’t say it’s perfect, but it’s not zero power.

You are also confusing Bitcoin’s Proof of Work with a shitcoin’s Proof of Stake, which is where wealth gives you more votes.

Proof of stake is arguably even worse, but the energy required for proof of work isn’t free either (and that’s by design, if it was free Bitcoin wouldn’t work).

As for the hash rate you’re contributing as a miner, there’s no additional power you’re given. Even if you attempted to 51% attack the network, it’d be gaining nothing beyond a double-spend by rewriting the blockchain transaction.

There is more than double spending. Who decides how Bitcoin evolves? When new features are added, hard forks, etc. How much power do you have over that?

How ever you turn it, at best it’s a shitty version of democracy.

Fundamentally money is all about trust, and I, despite all it’s flaws trust my government much more than a random group of developers and miners.

Fiat currency is controlled by the government over which we have a bit of power (for those of us who live in a democracy).

Bitcoin is by definition controlled by those who have the power and thus the money to mine. It’s a bit like democracy only that the more money you have the more votes you have.
