Yeah. I’ve always thought timed open source was probably a sweet spot, but I don’t have a lot of trust that companies will actually follow through on the open license at the end, so it doesn’t buy my goodwill just yet.

Fair enough. I’m just getting a little tired of our monopolist companies buying every competitor while burning through venture capital and then claiming they need to raise prices to “survive”.
All great points. That said, no one should feel sympathy for Disney’s profit margins.
They can and should spend less on anti-piracy measures to become more profitable.
And Disney could be 100% profit, overnight, while paying their actors and writers handsomely, if they just license their content to a streaming service that knows what they are doing.
Yeah. Google needs to get in there with another product that they will leave in Beta until they cancel it in 18 months.
I like to think the best we can hope for is that the speed of light limit is somehow naturally localized and the border to that localization is nearby enough for us to discover before we make ourselves extinct.
It’s not too likely, since there would probably be solid evidence of it already in the light at can see.
Oh well.
“At Viridian Dynamics, we build our robots with ethical AI, whatever that means; so that humans and androids can live in peace - we hope.”
Plus on Pixel you can run GrapheneOS.
Same here, but I use EleventyJS as the Markdown to HTML step.
These are all very real possibilities.
Here’s another: The big shot billionaire’s agreed over drinks one night that their handlers - the staff that used to make them look smart - were overpaid.
I’m not sure, honestly.
Charitably, we could assume it’s just from removing Google and various carriers background apps meant to improve my experience.
Uncharitably, I have my suspicions. For the last five or so versions of Android something always seemed to be using processor cycles and battery when I wasn’t actually doing much with my phone.
But I never saw evidence of usage data exfiltration via Google apps - at least after I turned off the related optional settings.
In any case, switching to GrapheneOs was a startling and pleasant speed boost for me, whatever the real root cause.
Spoiler for a later stage of your journey: Your phone gets wayv faster. That part is pretty nice.
Neat.
