Needing to find solutions to a problem completely manufactured by sports and television is the problem.

Beautiful.

It whined about it for a bit on their site but eventually just gave up. Works normal again.

People want a free lunch. If the API was cheaper than the subscription then everyone would use the API. Instead people flock to an, apparently, unsustainable pice at a fixed monthly rate; presumably subsidized by others who don't use their full capacity every month.

I guess it's like their phones. Got too old, slow 'er down.

So... Their punishment for breaking the law is having to promise to follow the law going forward?

I wish I had that superpower, too.

When npm has supply chain attacks it's still news.

On Google Play Store its actually noteworthy when an app isn't some level of malware loaded with ads and questionable permissions.

Both assumptions being unlikely.

You also end up with a code base you let an AI agent trample until it is satisfied; ballooned in complexity and redudant brittle code.

Its sort of a moot point since the whole thing is for good will anyways.

They freely scraped licensed code and semi-private data across the internet and now they're pretending that they need to license anything.

If a court rules they had to license data in the first place then the whole industry would actually have to start following laws.

Now, I don't believe AI will ever amount to enough to be a critical threat to human life, you know, beyond the immense amounts of wasted energy they propose to convert into something more useful, like a market crash or heat and noise, or both.

Not sure how you can call someone opposed to any of that "anti-civilisational" matter-of-factly.

Can't wait for the "$LAST_MODEL was amazing but this is the one that will change everything."

Also it's headless. No idea if VSCode and antigravity are, guessing it's not 1:1 the same, though.

Finally, a desktop with feature parity of an OS from the year 2000.

Good on them for hearing complaints after 4+ years and addressing some of them.. maybe. They say they will at least.

I'd reckon you'd be hard pressed to find a single person that matches every quality/belief you imagined them to have.

Less useless shit popping up (with ad block so I mean just the cookies, store location etc harassments) Store selector didn't request new pages every time I do anything; resulting in all the popups again. (just download our spyware and all these popups will go away!) Somehow my page loads are snappier than local stores despite being across the planet.

Not saying it's a good site. It's almost the same as Home Depot. Just slightly better. I mean there's an AI button for searching for a product so you can do agentic shopping with a superintelligence on your side.

OSS is allowed to make money and there are projects that require paid licenses for commerical use.

The source is available and collaborative.

Qt states this on their site: Simply put, this is how it works: In return for the value you receive from using Qt to create your application, you are expected to give back by contributing to Qt or buying Qt.
