PJB

Excellent to see that Microsoft’s product strategy continues to just be a flailing mess.

I think it’s just that government bodies like the EU move slow so it’ll take a while for them to bonk Apple, not that they’re “getting away with it” in anything more than the short term.

I could be wrong though.

The GPL has an exception for “system libraries” on this regard, but it’s as handwavy as the rest of the license.

The GPL isn’t meant to be a real license, it’s supposed to be a toxic waste bucket that companies don’t want to interact with. This it succeeds at.

Please don’t tell me it’s actually been 5 years…

What the fuck, transphobia on 196?

Oh shit, amazing!

Huh? Which part?

Honestly, just contribute to whatever software you’re already using! The most obvious example (that somebody else mentioned already) is Lemmy itself, but surely there are many other open source pieces of software that you use on a daily basis. If there’s something that annoys you, or think it could be improved… there you go.

At least, that’s how I got into programming.

Now require manufacturers to provide like 5 years of OS updates so devices aren’t insecure bricks once you get updates.

OR disallow banking apps from blocking custom ROMs/root, so you can just install your own updates ROM without losing updates.
