> he's trying to commoditize his closed rivals, it's not out of principle
To be fair Meta/Facebook does have quite a strong open source history; React (Native), PyTorch, Btrfs, zstd, etc. It didn't just start here with AI models.

Why only one app, and not several and choose the right one for the occasion? Mapy.com and OsmAnd are much better for trail use than Google Maps. Mapy has public transit info (depending on where you live, of course).

I think Anthropic/OpenAI do have a moat in the (western) enterprise market. Chinese hosted models are a no-go, and my experience with enterprise IT departments is that they will not self-host. So far signing up with a known product (e.g. Claude) seems to be the way they will go and this is the moat that the AI companies have. Alternatively there is Copilot, but that for now seems to mostly be backed by Anthropic/OpenAI models[1].
Will this continue? The field is moving too fast to tell. Kimi, Qwen, Deepseek also produce very capable models but that doesn't automatically translate into trillion dollar valuations.
However, trillion dollar valuations on Anthropic and OpenAI, such new companies, never publicly traded and such huge valuations decided just by investors. This is just asking for trouble.

yes, there are questions like that (steps, ramp, etc). Also questions about road surfaces, pavement/sidewalk, etc

Subjective depending on who you ask, but for me RSC is not really representative of React usage. (I believe) the vast majority of React apps (and the vast majority of dev experience in React) are front end only. I have been writing React in some form for 8+ years, but never touched RSC.

I tried Angular 2+ back in the day. I found it frustrating to learn as the API had changed between versions, and when searching for help you would come across a blog post/stackoverflow answer, start implementing it and realise it didn't work in the version of Angular your project was in. Frustrating.
Tried React afterwards, this frustration didn't really exist and it was much easier to pick up.

Just knowing the personal number is not enough to do much with. To get access to services, verify who you are on when talking to companies there is a verification step, most commonly with the BankID app.

Identity theft and spam still happens, just not through knowing the personal number.

> modify roborock vacuums and load up other software even.
Can you provide more info/got any links? I would love to try some open source software on it

Ironically we bought a Roborock (Chinese brand with close links to Xiaomi) and didn't connect it to the internet (checked this would work before we bought it).
If you don't want the scheduling and other app features, and are happy switching it on when you need it, it works fine.
Motivation for an offline one was more than just cameras, also that it wouldn't be bricked by an update one day, but still...

The blue check symbolised (symbolises) being verified, i.e. this account belongs to who it says it does. But it doesn't carry out any/sufficient checks to actually verify that.

Sounds like a Samsung phone... no end of dark patterns and pushing Bixby AI and whatever else. And then once you have the phone set up you get to spend the next 10 minutes uninstalling a load of pre-loadded apps that you didn't want.
Fortunately Android is a pretty diverse range and Samsung is just one player. I had much more user-friendly experiences with Fairphone and Motorola.

I live in the EU and can see value in live translation for me personally.
However, I'm happy with the decision. Sure, they are not available right now. But it's worth it for the long term picture. Imagine if this would be yet another Apple/Google-only market.
The tradeoff is right IMO.

Most likely not in it's current state as it uses the `chrome.bookmarks.getTree()` API.
However the Chrome-specific stuff is in this file: https://github.com/jamesrr39/chrome-bookmark-search/blob/mas... , and creating an equivalent for this should be enough to support firefox.
I am open to pull requests!
