I agree to a certain point, I have Linux on all my computers because of the freedom. But I have an iPhone, the only apple thing I own, and one of the main reasons is the AppStore and how restrictive it is.
I would say that for the average end user being able to install software from anywhere is a liability and causes a lot more issues than it solves, I’ve seen lots of computers running like trash because the users kept just typing ‘download \ free’ on google and going along with any random shady site that popped. Apple cater more to these average users than to power users, and honestly the google play store is a dumpster fire. A walled garden doesn’t sound that bad when it’s the wastelands outside
It absolutely is Apple’s place to policy the content in their store.

Well now that doesn’t make any sense

For the user? Not at all. For the companies that want their spying/tracking apps to run and take your precious data 24/7? Yes, this way dozens of apps can track you even if you open a hundred more afterwards and forget about them, they can live forever deep down those 24gb
I see, typical trap from this fuckers. You can use this as an opportunity to learn to flash firmwares to things and to not trust proprietary software, specially nothing in the cloud for your home automation
This Shelly thing appears to be the typical cloud SaaS platform. What does exactly make it open?
A CEO that brings lots of money and consistently gets to lower the share of your flagship browser seems like a good candidate to destroyed from within. How can Mozilla stay independent when most of their money comes from these ‘royalties’ and most of it is from Google? We’re talking hundreds of millions agains 7 mil in donations that barely pay for the CEO. How are they gonna push back against this webDRM shit google is trying to pull (or any other thing)?
I feel the same as you, I’ve been using Mozilla/Firefox since forever, because I felt they were doing things I’m aligned with. But I don’t know anymore. I don’t know if they are doing it or they have started to become just muppet opposition.
Enshittification spreads fast, once it takes roots its to late. But it sure seems like, lately, it’s an all out attack on any freedom left on the internet
This ‘related organization’ is Mozilla Corp, for-profit owned by the Mozilla Foundation that has Baker as its CEO as well.
I’m a lifelong Mozilla user, but these things stink a bit. I find even more concerning the dependency from google
The parties have talks before the vote, and they make clear their intention of supporting or not this or that candidature so there’s usually no surprises the actual voting day. I think a rejected candidate has another opportunity, not sure. When there’s no more (reasonable) candidates left the elections are called for by the assembly itself and/or the king (even tho arguably in an honorary role, everything goes through the monarch).
Feijóo, even with more seats, has it harder. Only vox would touch them with a ten foot pole. Sánchez has it hard too, needing to assemble ALL the other groups, but this is more likely than the right getting the support of someone left from PP or the regionalists.
It’s gonna be a few months of this pacts, what-aboutism, and other politics bullshit…
First the king will ask the leader of the party with the most seats (Feijóo, PP, conservative right) to try and form a government, they can refuse if they see it unlikely or impossible. Then they vote, more ayes and there’s a president. More nays, back to step 1 with the leader of the second party (Sánchez, PSOE, centre-left~centre-right). If no one can achieve a coalition big enough there will be elections again
Nah, the article got it wrong. It’s just that the Spanish regular right is a wee bit farther than most, with these pacts they showed the fascist discourse is still perfectly fine with them and many voters came back
We should not make heroes. People are falible, don’t idolize them. You can of course still admire their work.
This is harder with artists though. They put more of themselves in their work and once you know an artist was an absolute cunt you can start seeing things in their art that you didn’t before or experiencing it differently and don’t like it anymore.
But if you still enjoy their work I think that’s fine too. Especially if they are dead and can’t profit from it, if they would profit from it I, personally, just pirate it and that keeps my conscience clean.
He’s an idiot. He was screen sharing during a joint project with his former employer (Valeo) and had the stolen code behind the powerpoint, that was then minimized or closed, it even was in a dir called ‘valeoCode’ or something like that
