Government maybe rather than legislating big companies stores could not back up smaller open HW/SW vendors? It seems we gave up increasing competition on HW and what is left is app store level...

We can have a problem with forms being on paper and not doing "add this" or "subtract that" automatically? It was available in other countries 10+ years AGO ;)

This is not a negative thing.

Global albedo modification happens today its just not very directed (eg. pitch black tarmac next to concrete sidewalk there is significant difference in temperature on sunny days, AC bills would be probably bit cheaper we didn't have tarmac).

This indicates commit quality. Why lose this info? If you have only time to put "aoeu" into commit message would you have time to correct ChatGPT output? ;)

No you come back for more improved sofas. Original sofa owner doesn’t even have to know who took it.

Analogy doesn’t suck, looking through “I’m entitled” lenses distorts the picture for you.

What becomes harder and harder?

Asahi seems to do just fine and has good pace with adding feature support. https://asahilinux.org/

M2 is similar to M1 so it is easier as there is less HW combinations in the wild.

Control doesn't have to be malicious. For example electric oven:

1) Oven or any other appliance can just list current price of electricity.

2) High power appliances can tell network to book energy (how much/how long) so usage is more predictable.

It is more likely we end up with camera taking photos of our food and sending it to mothership - but one can still wish it will go other way.
