Assocks. They don’t need (backend-level) access to the platform in order to fight that. They just have to do good, boots-on-the-ground detective work. In other words, earn their salaries. We don’t precime-inalize silverware companies because people may use kitchen knives to kill each other.

assuming they have physical servers in their place.

Nope, in that particular case they just have to hand over a strongly worded letter (and a small bribe) to the ISP.

Not a new one. The solution to capitalism was posted long ago. We just need to admit it.

There are not going to be apps on Linux phones. Definitely not banking apps.

Not with that attitude!

Get either your political ass to demand that in your country banks support more than just two OSes, or your coding ass so that you can get into programming work pipeline and one day code the Flatpak for your bank. Either would benefit you and everyone else.

Where are all the open source phone OSes? Where are the OS agnostic capable hardware phones?

In the “waiting for funding” room.

If people don’t care enough to finance projects like Fairphone, etc… while they are still in the growing pains, then those projects will never be able to last during a digital consumer war, let alone provide a product that has enough mass appeal that it makes sense to build and commercialize on auto.

99% of those contracts are not enforceable. And I bought my phone used. No paper, no contract.

It’s AI involved in the process of editing articles.

Adding AI assistance to any review process only ever worsens it, because instead of having to review one thing, now the reviewer has to review two things, one of which is defo hallucinated but it’s hard to justify the “why”, and the reviewer is also paid far less in exchange and has his entire worker class threatened.

AI is much like smoking (hey, it is killing the atmosphere! ). Even if a good writer uses it, the usage itseld can still cause harm for others.

Oh it’s for the correct sound distinction. Compare naïve vs naive (eg.: glaive).

I’d take it part of the problem is that publisher is quite a “unglorious” job to say somehow. Like, it’s difficult to make it look fancy or interesting enough that you’d take effort, time and resources from other things you could be doing - such as, ya know, writing the story you want to write - to have to do that.

Cute, but we all know the only way these writers are going to get what they want is if they part ways from their current publishers and start a coöperative.
