  • You know what scares us about big tech? Planned obsolescence.

  • Yes! I think part of the right to repair is the ability to install your own software on devices you own, when the vendor stops fixing it.

  • When we are talking about laws, yes you are right.

    I was arguing more about developers not releasing the source code on their own, when they stopped releasing patches, or even remove the game from stores or shutdown servers, while stating that reason: "We cannot because we use third-party stuff."

    No, they just do not want to. They might even think that their past games are in competition to their current games. So they do not want people to play (and improve/mod) them anymore.

  • This argument seems hollow, releasing source code is not an all or nothing situation. They can just release what they are allowed to, and let the community replace the missing stuff.

    Releasing anything is better than releasing nothing and letting the community reverse engineer everything instead of just some third-party libraries.

  • The best and only way to get at the mega corporations causing all the climate change is to boycott them.

    Sorry to say this, but these boycotts rarely do anything. If enough people would boycott some company, or business practice to matter only a little bit, then there also would be enough people to effect politics to try to get better regulation in place, via electoralism, direct action of just getting actively involved in politics.

  • At least its plugins, which are what needs to be regularly updated as platforms change, are open source. I imagine someone will clean-room reverse-engineer the core app and make an open source one that uses the plugins.

    Reverse-Engineering and reimplementing something is a lot of work, especially if it is a moving target that is still actively developed. I don't expect anyone to do it.

    Also, Louis Rossmann said they only reserve the right to go after forks to prevent a situation like all the shady ad-ridden NewPipe ones flooding Google Play Store.

    That is some kind of hand wavy reasoning that might come from someone that could be sponsored by them. Louis should do better than taking any company by their word and promises. And spreading FUD about NewPipe (and by extension all of Open Source software) is also a straw man argument. An untrustworthy software repository is not a argument against the open source software application, but against the software repository and their maintainers.

    If you are concerned with that, you should stop using Google Play store.

  • Thanks for the warning I guess??

  • I have a USB-C to audio jack adapter/sound card, which doesn't provide enough amplification for my headphones at "normal" levels, so I have to raise it beyond what android considers "save" in order to even hear voices enough to understand them, if the environment around me is a bit noisy itself. At maximum level it is still not really loud.

  • Well, with newpipes forks are possible in order to implement controversial features, with Grayjay they are unlikely because of its non-open-source license.

  • Well THAT fucking sucks! 🤬

    Jump

  • Just FYI. Grayjay is only source available, but not open source like newpipe and its forks.

  • They should probably try to fix the issues that caused the population to vote for him.

    It never about "fixing" or "killing" individuals, but about systems that do not work for some people.

  • Elon Musk is pissing off everyone on Trump’s team

    Jump

  • Trumps administration will likely start out with a lot of power hungry egomaniac freaks, and then with its very high turnover, trump loyalists will be filtered through, like they did in their first term.

    Competence doesn't really matter.
