  • But sharing code is when a license like LGPL really has an effect in what you must do to comply..

  • Why Are Cars Getting Rid Of Android Auto?

  • Maybe you've missed the real dumb shit getting out from various tech manufacturers. I'm not a car guy but I know enough about software and manufacturers screwing people to see that criminals and amaturers are not the real issue in regards to saftey or repair.

    A Suburu car has a text pop up advert from the manufacturer on display screen, which can't be used for normal functionallity until you click off it. Is that distracting to you? Want to bet it doesn't ever get worse than that when the incentive is there and they're in control? Source: 5m video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw3KRfy9vQY

    When I have time I'll try to recall car specific repair issues that lead to injury. All that comes to mind is OneWheel, and the medical industry screeming death by cost.

  • If saftey is your concern I hope you do not blindly trust manufacturers given their history of "safety and security". My concern is software freedom: being in control of your own computing (instead of the creator being in control). All software has bugs, but at least 3rd party software isn't intentionally adding anti-features and spyware.

  • If someone claims feeling in a mere concept (without a body in a location).. I would find it very difficult to take seriously. But I must admit that's just my intuition.

    I see nothing special in human meat that couldn't be be significantly replicated by electronics, software, gears, etc. Consciousness is an imergent property.

    I fear that non-human, conscious creatures must fight us for those rights.

  • The important part is that it feels like something subjectively to be a living human. It's easy to presume animals close to humans are like us to a degree, but all we know is what it's like to be ourselves moment to moment. There's no reason to deny an unalive system cannot also feel - we cannot test anything.

  • Hopefully interoperability of seperate apps as 'part of a web browser experince' can be improved to help all users. However, the less technologically inclinded will have to step up and do something if they want to avoid growing frustrations from an endlessly, enshitifying browser experience.

    Having a "do one thing" software design doesn't avoid all issues of anti-competition practices, nor does it prevent anti-features. For that I'd look towards software freedom licenses (as opposed to proprietary software).

    We already have software that does some seprate parts of web browsers and comes with the OS; video players, text readers and protocol specific apps. The question is, are advanced users using alternatives like Gemini protocal? Hopefully activity will lead to others entering the new communities.

  • It's too late to give (life) support. Web browsers are a dying ecosystem as it's too complex to create competition. Why not abandon them and instead support software that does a seperatable part of what modern browsers do?

  • A game could be good and yet contain media created with AI generation - high rating + AI tag covers that case.

    Most AI use will be slop, but as you say some could be an accident. How the dev responds to users finding out will inform users how to rate the dev team themselves.
