that is basically how all large companies behave anyway. socialize the losses (bailouts, layoffs, negative economic impacts in the communities they reside, etc.) and privatize the gains.

> that is basically how all large companies behave anyway

And do you agree with that behaviour?


nope


>that had never been tried before

Napoleon would like a word.


I don't know how many of you are history buffs...


because Netgear is willing to do what the US wants in regards to its mass surveillance projects.


Greetings Filipinos, its a trap. Do not trust the US. They will exploit your labor and pay you pennies (do those still exist anywhere?). They are selling you a bill of goods. Fire your representatives that are allowing this. No jobs are coming, only higher energy costs, more pollution, more fat cats, and more corporate ownership of your political system. Abort ship.


the people of the philipines, are quite familiar with regards to dealing with USA.


Bro, we love the US.


chimeing in late, but, yes i know that, and thank you all for the help, and hospitality, i know a number of vets that were and still are grateful for the support.


> We're not prisoners of history. We don't have to go back to being serfs for the few people who own all the land, oil, food, energy, data centers, and operating systems. I hope.

Unfortunately, that is the current stage of humanity. We all currently live in a global subscription model for food, housing, safety, etc. No doubt that we will move beyond it eventually, but the current organization of society is kept in place by the owner class which benefits from the current arrangement.

One of the steps for moving beyond it is educating the modern day serfs (our peers) about reality as it is and alternative visions of a future where we are no longer selling our labor to the owner class. It will take generations.


Worth mentioning that Chinese people have a vastly different perspective on new technology, in the west people are incredibly pessimistic. It's not the technology itself, it's the surrounding system that makes that difference. The alternative vision for the future already exists.



You’re just going to drop a book against 80% of HN like that? What is the context?


can't wait until this is just completely bypassed and we can ignore Google again.


There's not really a way to bypass Google if they don't want there to be, and that's what they're moving towards. The only long-term solution is to cut Google out entirely.


Motorola with GrapheneOS is an interesting prospect. The space is ready for disruption and the tools to do it are more available than ever. Maybe it will come from the EU. Who knows, but Google overplayed their hand, IMO.

Also, let's be clear about the mobile landscape right now. Many apps aren't written in Java or Swift, but instead are being transpiled from other languages like TypeScript and using UI libraries that aren't locked to the mobile platform itself.

When a new mobile platform enters the space it will require some react-native and capacitor glue code and we are in business.


Motorola with GrapheneOS has all the same failings of any other custom ROM.


Which failings in particular?


Not being able to use tap-to-pay, various banking apps, some work apps, for example.


I have seen tap to pay work before with other ROMs


basically every app is a tab. this is how I run i3wm. full screen tabbed layout. smaller modal windows still appear in their normal smaller windows in front of the current full screen app.

Louis XVI would not disagree.


Technically, I think the blade did most of the brain damage to Louis XVI.


no, it is because of the public perspection of Anthropic holding a principled stance against allowing their software to pull the trigger and kill humans. ChatGPT still has the bigger brand name recognition.


Anyone who's used both Claude and ChatGPT will instantly agree what is better by a large margin. Theres maybe a brand recognition long tail but its more likely theyre the rare occasional users who use the free tier. Thus ChatGPT is becoming the shitty free AI app while Claude is what you use to get real work done. Time (in months) will tell yow this will go.


If that's entirely the case, there could still be interesting implications, as people who switch to Claude are unlikely to switch back to ChatGPT in the near future. (If, that is, they regularly use LLMs for any technical or professional task.)


Open AI had first mover advantage.

Sam squandered it.


I guarantee you the people downloading these apps aren't thinking about that. They use what works best.



How would most people know what works best? Most people are only using one.
