> Modification is the whole point of open source

Yes, and free software wants to ensure it remains open. BSD's don't.

I get that's how it feels but I've also seen more SO questions closed off that seemed perfectly reasonable/not duplicates except in the most vaguest sense than I can count.

Unless they modify it, the GPL really doesn't impact them. AFAIK FSF considers most BSD/MIT style licences to be compatible. It's the other way around where things gets stuck. Unless they need Linux GPU/WIFI/BT drivers to make things work, of course. Then it's fine.

Because the BSD's are reflexively anti GNU.

They recently made it so you're stuck on 3.6 Flash if you don't pay them enough.

Can please someone explain the concept of a 'classified interpretation' [of law] to me like I'm 5? I know the concept exists, but I don't really understand how it can be in any way justified in any country that's even pretending to be a democracy?

> It’s not any one thing, but dozens of papercuts that can’t be configured away

Exactly how I feel about having to use macOS at work, except some of the 'configurations away' are overpriced plugins/third party tools.

Stadia was pretty good, be it OnLive was similar quality in like 2010. It even had the best version of Cyberpunk 2077 when that launched. But the model was free version of the service for a limited resolution AND you have to buy games there OR a subscription based option and you still have to buy games there.

That made no sense and wasn't a viable business model.

They're probably questioning the resolution would be my guess.

Regulation is only as good as enforcement of it is. And it seems 9-10 figure fines are still in the realm of 'we'll deal with the fallout later'.

So no, it's not literally unregulated, but if it was regulated effectively Samsung would be scared shitless to pull stuff like this. They clearly aren't.

It's not that it's unfathomable. Most just agree with that because that's how you 'make it' in the VC world of today. They also pretend that the right wing is somehow for free speech, of course ignoring everything the right likes to censor, such as criticism of Israel/support for Palestine.

It also doesn't help that it's easy to lump 'the left' with 'everything I don't like re social issues' because the institutional left is basically neoliberals who prefer to talk social politics to avoid talking about economics.

OBS is much more aimed at livestreaming to platforms like Twitch and managing multiple cameras incl one of you, one of your screen etc. Well beyond what Cap is for.

But yes, use the most specialized tool for the task at hand.

> I see on the web now you get round the great firewall just by using a foreign esim

Yes, but that's not circumventing anything. That's an essentially approved method for foreigners specifically because they don't care about keeping foreigners within the GFW.

Once that foreign esim is behind a GFW equivalent of whichever country it is from, what then?

> I think places like China put in a lot of effort

Yes, which is why China was tricky.

Apple is absolutely doing this for apps that they think are worth copying, there's no morals there.

Problem is, OpenAI is maintaining a (slight) edge over DS seemingly only by being extremely inefficient.
