They do, but Android is open source, and now Google is trying to close it down.

Imagine how fast the US turned to shit, that China is now more trustworthy. Or at least, much more stable.

My thought would be the opposite.

If you need to scale down, you do not look at the one employee who knows the most about your company.

If you scale up, you need the guy/girl who knows the most about the departments, because you need structure. Otherwise all the specialists only have eyes for their own field.

I’ve seen more “general employees” being promoted than “specialised employees”.

European countries have capitalism, and it’s not an excuse to have education for all.

But it sure does help. At least to also get out of your echo bubble and see new ways of thinking.

Depends on who you are.

If you often discover music and searches for songs, your method is not the experience prefered.

If you always listen to your playlists, and sometimes want to add a new one, yours work great.

What everyone really wants, is a player that autodownloads and plays while downloadning, like with torrents, and then gives the option to auto remove after x days or keep forever. Everything happening under the hood.

Otherwise I’m afraid it will keep away most people.

The Austrian military didn’t just adopt LibreOffice; they actually contributed back to it. Over five person-years of development work went into adding features they needed. Those improvements are now available to everyone using LibreOffice, which is pretty cool.

The open source dream!

I think there’s a middle ground. It’s not all or nothing.

We can have million dollar studios without having a billion dollar studio.

That’s true, which also illustrates how absurd the big paychecks are with your post in mind.

Sure.

The premise is to bring down costs, and not be free. This is a reality where we can share media we buy, because we own them again.

So you can kind of imagine the world 20-30 years back with VHS and DVDs. Just in the digital world.

Fewer people would buy the content, and less shareholders will be rich. Actors will also not go for multi million dollar salaries. But actors would still exist.

You can argue that this will bring down the number of movies, but most likely there will just be alot of small studios making movies instead of Netflix and Disney controlling the market from start to end.

There will be a much larger varaity in movies, and not that many reboots of past succes from the VHS/DVD age.

Sometimes it’s hard to imagine a reality outside our own.

Fire, electricty, gravity and magnetism is magic, and you cant convince me otherwise.

That’s true, every movie takes on something different.

But then again there’s Pocahontas that came out at the same time that tackles racism and the importance of nature.

While this is a good narrative to make about Disney if we want to hate on them, it’s not true though.

The Disney movies for kids is almost all about not maintaining status quo and actually challenge it. Or being different than anyone else

Frozen and Moana are recent examples. Pirates of Caribbean for an older audience. There’s many more.

How is it a worse product if they move?

How could an IP gained now, ever have impact on existing games? How would an IP even be gained, if they are not the only ones having this mechanic today?

Having to pay for privacy tells the whole story of how Big Tech makes their money.

Yeah, they laid off the whole team behind Kevin. I would quit too, if I saw my creation fall that way.

Also just users. No docker or anything, just using the system someone else setup for them.

NextCloud is used everywhere, also in commercial use.

Yes, they banned Huawei in the free market.
