They don’t serve anyone

Tell me you are blind to privilege without telling me you are blind to privilege…
I get what you are saying but claiming that Capitalism and the Free Market got you there is laughable.
A shit ton of people in the USA do not actually have a choice in carrier and choice of phone seriously depends on how rich you are, the spread is wide!
More importantly, how many people do you think have the tech knowledge (or access to pay) to get an open source OS in their phones?

Maybe the western world can be given some credit on being a tad more subtle, but overall the difference here are in tecnique, not goals

I still don’t get how anyone thought this notion was ever considered a good strategy for anything… it clearly shows these people have no skin in the game because there is no way they would break their own things

- Comment on SteamOS massively beats Windows on the Legion Go S 1 week ago:
Well, the truth of that is quite a bit different than how you put it, and it’s also more carrot than stick.
True, I misremembered… however, this is anti-competitive practice 101 anyway
What Microsoft did surely sucked for everyone, but fortunately, we live in a world where their recent efforts to do similar things aren’t working.
But the fact they keep trying these anti-competitive strategies and have no consequences for them is a problem. We cannot rely on “it didn’t work for them this time” as if that is a solution because next time it would work for them and then we are all fucked for another few decades
- Comment on SteamOS massively beats Windows on the Legion Go S 1 week ago:
I learnt most of the story from this book Renegades of the Empire
The story is summarized here: gist.github.com/kirkegaard/1055336
It’s all about how DirectX/Direct3D was launching and competing with OpenGL (the open standard).
In a nutshell, MS literally ported games for free to Windows (Doom95 being the flagship example) and/or subsidized the development of games for Direct3D so there would be no appetite for OpenGL.
This is equivalent to Amazon or Walmart selling their stuff at a loss until all competitors go bankrupt
- Comment on SteamOS massively beats Windows on the Legion Go S 1 week ago:
when Windows “challenges” others, they don’t compete on merit… it’s easier to blackmail game developers by threatening to kick them out of Windows / Xbox platforms if they develop for Linux… this is how we ended up with “windows is the only os for gaming” back in the 90s

AI models have been trained on copyright protected books illegally. Maybe the voice have not
- Comment on Audible unveils plans to use AI voices to narrate audiobooks 3 weeks ago:
I’m a programmer with 22 years of experience. I understood the code well enough having written the solution myself the day before; I was precisely trying to see if AI would be useful with yhis example as it was a tad above basic stuff and not niche at all…
It failed miserably. The code ran but didn’t do anyithing at all or it did the wriong thing. It would often ignore my requirements in favour of something easier
The worst part is it kept saying it “got it” and telling me some bs about why it didn’t work just to not correct it
Thats why most senior software devs are not afraid of LLMs cause they need strong oversight and thats exactly what years of software dev experience trained you to do.
what’s the point of this? If it cannot provide glean code and I have to check every line myself, I rather work with a junior who would usualy do better, actualy learn from my feedback and eventually become an independant asset
Stop drinking the kool aid
