I can either change my daily workflow to accommodate the noisy herd, or I can change the noisy herd to accommodate my daily workflow.

If all open issues are actionable items, that makes expected workload a lot easier to handle.
If most open issues are actually in "needs triage / needs review" state, you lose the signal from the noise.
The issue tracker for a project exists primarily as a tool for maintainers, not for outsiders. Yes, the maintainers could change their workflow to create a new view that only shows triaged tickets.
Or, they could ensure the default 'open' view serves their needs.
I think the GP is focusing on:
> I guess we're giving up on the idea that you're free to do whatever you want with software you own? ... But I see this as no different from DRM and user hostile
If I clone an open source git repository, I should be free to point an LLM to review it in any way I choose. I can't contribute code back, but guess what, I don't want to. I want to understand the codebase, and make modifications for me to use locally myself. I don't have a dev team, I have a feature need for my own personal use.
The LLM enables that. The projects that deliberately sabotage the use of LLMs cease to be providing software that meet the 'libre' definition of free software.
I'd have to disagree. There's a narrow band in the middle where that's true, but once you exceed that, your personal inputs and outputs matter less and less, and the contributions you make to the overall workplace, and how well you enable those around you, make a larger part of why you're compensated.
Even as an IC, the more you're able to mentor and elevate the people around you, the more your compensation will grow (if you're in the right place, and thus already at the right earnings bracket)
https://ente.com is open source, and self hosted, and end to end encrypted.
You can also voluntarily cut off huge chunks of your own app ecosystem intentionally, by giving up 32bit support and requiring everything to be 64bit capable.
...because users have no other choice when only one vendor controls the both the hardware+software. They can either use the apps still available to them, or they can leave. And the cost of leaving for users is a lot higher.
And yet my wife will disagree hard with you, as all her fingerprints on my laptop screen will attest to. She always defaults to trying to swipe the screen instead of going to the mouse.
> Touchscreen computers have failed for a reason.
The only people who think touch screens have failed are people who actually use computers, and we are a tiny minority of the population these days. The majority of people live on touchscreen devices already.
In this theory, can you explain why Apple has announced it’s paying Google for Gemini too?
Eventually, this may be true. This autumn? Highly unlikely.
We don't sell bottles containing alcohol and then expect to filter the alcohol out if the child wants to drink from it. We have two different bottles: alcoholic bottles and non-alcoholic bottles. If you are a child, you cannot purchase the former.
Stop selling unrestricted computing devices to children. Require a person to be 18+ to purchase an unrestricted internet device. Make it clear that unrestricted internet access, like alcohol and nicotine (and the list goes on) is harmful to children. That resolves 90% of the problem.
And lets be fair, the problem isn't the children. Children want what all their peers have. The problem isn't their peers. The problem is the parents. Give the spineless parents a simpler way to say no to their children, and the overall problem goes away.
I'm guessing this is 1Password 8 only, as I can't see this option in 1Password 7.
> That's a great theory, and sometimes it's actually true, but in reality for most users most of the time, Linux is as "fixable" as Windows or macOS, because most people, even the technically savvy ones aren't driver developers.
But there a whole lot more people who are happy to pay Claude $200/month now than there used to be. Claude isn’t a driver developer, but it’s taken a bunch of different open projects and modified for them for me in such a way that it’s made my life meaningfully better.
Things I couldn’t do for years, that I’ve wanted for years, got accomplished in 2 evenings: one to implement and deploy, one to optimise because the original deployment was a good POC but not good enough to keep running (e.g. doubling or tripling of CPU usage or RAM from prior to modification).
Sure, you could argue I’m paying a doctor, but there isn’t a doctor for the apple ecosystem. There’s just “suck it up, sunshine.”
(Written from my iPad, where I continue to suck it up)
Debian (courtesy of the Asahi project) still wont let you down if you’re using an M1 or M2:
RIPE wont "sell" me an IP block, no matter how reasonable a price I offer. RIPE will gladly let me pay them LIR annual membership dues for 2 years before they consider allocating me a /24 (based on current waiting list times)
Consider that even with something as divisive as covid lockdowns and vaccines, the overwhelming majority of people complied with government instructions.
There are a minority of people currently refusing to vaccinate their children properly, and their fucking around is being found out with measles outbreaks in various countries.
Why would this be different? Why wouldn't it be a minority of parents permitting their children to drink, to smoke, to use unrestricted computing resources?
iMessage also syncs to iCloud unencrypted by default[2].
[1] Depends on you paying for iCloud storage, so that you have space for a full phone backup to occur.
[2] Might be "free" with "iMessage in iCloud", an option to enable separately.
Unfortunately, this doesn't scale.
This is a new threat vector to me. Can you tell me more?
The citizen has literally upped and moved themselves entirely to a foreign country.
The corporation has just forked a bit of itself elsewhere.
And yet the corporation can't be taxed, but the individual can.
Doesn't care that the citizens pay tax in whatever country they live in. If they earn over some 6 figure sum, they have to pay tax in the US as well.
That would put US corporations at a distinct disadvantage on the global scene, so it won't happen. Disadvantaging citizens doesn't seem to matter as much.
Can you elaborate on what default zero-effort privacy for the ignorant WhatsApp offers, that Signal does not?

Depends on what you mean by "install software".
If your definition is "put an executable in a directory that is in every other user's standard $PATH", then yes, this is an absurd complaint. Of course only root should be able to do this.
If your definition is "make an executable available to run as my user", then no, this is not absurd. You absolutely should not need root to be able to run software that doesn't require root privileges. If the software requires root, it's either doing something privileged, or it's doing it wrong.
Mafia has a vested interest in broadcast rights of football matches in Spain?
Spain blocks Cloudflare because the football league La Liga has a court order that allows them to point to IP ranges that are hosting/fronting live streams of football matches, and get ISPs to block access to those ranges.
> Yeah: most experiments fail and even the ones that ultimately succeed have rough edges.
Vista / Aero 2.0 already did Liquid Glass. At least they had the decency to ship a "turn this shit off" toggle that actually worked.
As an aside, I dislike tailscale, and use wireguard directly.
Back to the topic: Your connected device can harm others if used poorly. I am not proposing licensing requirements.
It’s why Cloudflare exists, which in itself is another form of harm, in centralising a decentralised network.
It's like the difference between HTML and a strictly typed language. Permissiveness and flexibility is both a blessing and a curse. As with a lot of things, which thing it is in any given situation depends greatly on the situation.
