<p>I have been saying the same for while. Someone always says "but Anthropic is making money on their API" or "But it's inference will get cheaper". But I don't believe it. first all the investments have to payed off at some point and second of all there are other things that cost money. I don't believe that any of them have a positive balance sheet.<p>I also don't think that blitz scaling will work like with Uber. The engineers are still there. We can work without the LLM tools.</p>

<p>If it is an open source project then that is quite alright with me. An open source author doesn't need to support all platforms. Only those they care about. If someone else wants support for another platform they have the source.</p>

<p>I have been to China, I know a lot of Chinese people and I am pretty sure that this is a dick move in China as well.<p>Problem is that companies don't care if they are dicks as long as the money is right.<p>And you call it shaming, I call it warning others. Sometimes bad publicity is actually bad for the company. Sometimes people will reconsider buying things if they find out that companies are being dicks. Not always. But sometimes.</p>

<p>Maybe I have to clarify this a bit. When I say "they wanted it" I mean that functionally. The ultimate outcome of not voting if you can is that you accept the decisions of others without giving your own input. Therefore you functionally condone the decision of others because you didn't put your voice against that.<p>There might be a situation where you have decide between two equally bad things. In that case not voting would be okay. But that's rarely the case.<p>Sometimes it's okay to just vote against the worse of the choices. That's still better than doing nothing. You WILL get one of the choices (unless there is a revolution or something). It's not like you will get none of these if you don't vote. Therefore apathy and not voting is a bad thing.<p>Example Brexit: You could vote remain or leave. There was no third option. Everyone who didn't vote because none of the options were what they wanted, still got leave. It didn't matter if their stance was "remain but maybe work on the terms" or anything else. The result was "leave". Functionally they accepted that. Functionally they sad "leave" because the majority of the voters said "leave". It didn't matter what they wanted. Only what they got. Just because they didn't vote.<p>Same goes for US elections. "I don't want either of them" translates to you get what the others want if you don't vote. Always. This can happen when you vote as well but then you at least made your voice heard. Your vote was recorded. There were more people with another opinion. That's democracy. Anything else is apathy and in my eyes you lost all right to complain.<p>Disclaimer: I am assuming a working voting system and the ability to vote.</p>

<p>I think you are missing the point. Someone made the software and assigned it a license. Bambulabs decided they wanted to build their product on top of that. No one forced them. It was a business decision. So it's first and foremost a dick move to not adhere to it.<p>They could have created their complete custom, closed source, commercially licensed slicer. They didn't. It was probably a lot cheaper to take some else's work and slap your customizations on it.<p>On open source license if first and foremost the original author's decision on what can and can not, must or must not be done with their code. therefore shaming someone for ignoring the wishes is not just a last resort, but a valid strategy. Especially if it is company that wants and has money.<p>We wouldn't need any legal avenue when saying "don't be a dick" would work. Not respecting someone's work and wishes seems to be a pretty universal dick move from what I understand.</p>

<p>Open Source was made by someone. With copyleft they decided: You can use my code, you can modify my code but if you build on my work you will also open source that.<p>Open Source is not necessarily a business decision but often a personal one. Often authors start without any pay but instead because they thought it was a nice thing they want to share. So it's their right to say what people can or can't do with their original work.<p>Companies have the ability to write their own software if they don't want to follow these rules.</p>

<p>You summed up my point. If someone doesn't vote if they can they support what ever the majority of the votes wanted. They were fine with it. So in they end they wanted what the majority wanted because that is the result. Everything else is fudging the numbers to feel better.<p>You could also just say they didn't exist if it makes you feel better. But calculating the percentage from the eligible voters gets you no where. They didn't vote. It just makes the number smaller. Whatever. It doesn't change anything. It's not first to 50% of eligible votes. It's the majority of voters.<p>But I am angry at everyone who doesn't vote if they can. Especially if they complain that this isn't what they wanted.</p>

<p>Everyone who didn't vote and had the ability, voted yes as well. If you don't vote you go along what the majority wants. So for me 52% is correct.<p>You have to vote for what you want or at least against what you don't want. Otherwise you are an enabler.</p>

<p>I'm not worried about upgrading. I'm worried about the whole environment being potentially several versions newer than the old one. All shared libraries. All services. Everything new. And now you have to make a software that has had little upgrades run on that. Have fun.</p>

<p>You are betting that whatever you host doesn't live as long as the upgrade cycle because it'll probably be a pain when the upgrades finally arrive. I'd rather have smaller version jumps more often than a huge jump with everything changing after a long time.</p>

<p>You usually don't really interact with the OS underneath at all so I don't think it makes much of a difference unless you are very fond of Jails.<p>I mean that is the whole point of a NAS OS. It gives you a GUI and you don't have to worry about the rest.</p>

<p>I think it's maybe a regional thing. Most people in Germany seem to have PayPal and a lot of them are aware of their buyer protections. I had to use them myself once.<p>PayPal seems to be a default for online purchases and transactions between people.</p>

<p>> Your bank is the one that is providing the access to the Wero service, it will pull from or deposit into your bank account.<p>I mean my bank is not available in Wero. And A lot of other banks are the same. PayPal or Klarna just works.<p>> IBAN is public facing and it is not a problem to share. It is the identifier of your account therefore required to make transfers. Money can't be charged with your IBAN. With paypal you share your e-mail.<p>I know but a lot of people don't see it that way. Not me. But I know they are.<p>> Not needing to share my contact list<p>AFAIK you need to sync your contacts to them to send a person money. I am not sure though because I don't have access.<p>Please don't misunderstand me. I want something like Wero in Europe. I just hope that it's not the wrong thing and people will be disappointed and less likely to try something new.</p>

<p>PayPal isn't without flaws but I think buyer protections and the obfuscation of the banking info are genuine features for people. I would like a real competitor to PayPal in Europe. Maybe even something that is not from a private company.<p>What I fear is that people will try Wero, see that it's not what they wanted and then never go back. But maybe I'm wrong.</p>

<p>I don't think it is. If you want people to move, you need to give them something. And SEPA but with phone numbers isn't it. At least not for me. Especially if it means that I am dependent on whether my bank implemented it.<p>I have recently seen people surprised when they sent a Wero transaction and the other party could see their IBAN.</p>

<p>> What functionality are you looking for exactly?<p>* Buyer protection<p>* Obfuscation of my banking data (IBAN)<p>* Having access to it with my bank<p>* Not needing to share my contact list<p>At the moment I don't see much improvement over an instant SEPA transaction. Since both parties will see each other's IBAN anyways with Wero I can just give out my IBAN.</p>

<p>I wish Wero was a real alternative but it seem to be a thin wrapper around Bank APIs and SEPA instant transactions. It has pretty much non of the functionality that PayPal or other services give. It just makes it easier to send money with a phone number instead of an IBAN. My bank doesn't even support it.</p>
