You CAN do those, but essentially 100% of apps that regular people are gonna want will be: click mac download -> open file -> follow prompts. That’s the point of a standard, which is not to necessarily eliminate alternatives, rather to make a single one be the default for almost 100% of standard situations.
I can’t believe we’re witnessing the end of physical media. So crazy.
We weren’t all saying copyright altogether was unfair. In fact i think most of us have always said copyright law should exist, just that it shouldn’t be like ‘lifetime of the creator plus another 75 years after their death’. Copyright should be closer to how it was when the law was first started, which is something like 20 years.
(And personally imo there should also be some nuanced exceptions too.)
This completely. Speaking as a person who’s more tech skilled than 99% of non-programmers, i can tell you that installing apps is the main tech hurdle for Linux getting mainstream adoption.
There are non-tech hurdles too, but of the actual technology being easy to use then app installation is really the only aspect left that regular people can’t do without a huge dive of tech learning that’s beyond what most people can do.
Installing on mac: click the Mac download button and follow the prompts.
Installing on Windows: click the Windows download button and follow the prompts.
Installing on Linux: there’s no Linux download button, there’s a couple of buttons that say words you’ve never heard of before. They look kinda like buttons to download an app. You click one and try to open it, but it just shows an error, etc etc etc
You seem to have missed my point. It doesn’t matter if the fans can come up with better ideas or not. Their opinion is 100% valid even if the fan can’t create anything better.
Also, it’s almost definitely not an actual invitation for fans to submit ideas. It’s very well known that for legal reasons writers aren’t allowed to read fan ideas because then everything the writer writes in the future would be ripe for plagiarism lawsuits
“Let’s see you do any better” is such a nonsense retort. People don’t have to produce better output in order to have a valid opinion. I don’t have to be able to sing well in order to tell when someone else is singing badly.
Hah, there was no bitching, you don’t need to take everything personally. Life is absurd and fleeting, enjoy it when you can
No I’m taking about OP’s quote of the article right here on this lemmy page
There’s actually a historical reason for that. I forget what it is, but there’s a reason. Some kind of swap maybe?
The article quoted in this post seems to be unrelated to the title
It isn’t always that simple. It could lead to age verification requirements
You seem to be under the impression that gambling is illegal only for children in New York, but that’s not what’s happening here, gambling is illegal in New York for all ages.

We do know about it. Most of the big name ai services are all public about working for government enforcement agencies. Palantir, Flock, Boston Dynamics, Tesla xAI, etc
With hardware prices being sky high, using hardware more efficiently is really helpful

Gay guys and asexuals disagree
Aww, they like to spend a lot of time in barns. How do they know it was built with them in mind?
