I think you missed the point of the was (past tense) being in italics?

The modern (slash "always has been") point of the story is that Frankenstein's monster created a creature then made it a monster.

Well yeah, it means the system can't keep torrentin' stuff!

i am un-admining

Pretty much this. I just manually handle stuff when needed. I already work at IT so this feels quite liberating, the last thing I want is to annoy myself more, and the stuff I manage is not Critical™.

No need to give screentime to fascists.

Easy money, easy power, easy delusions of grandeur I'm guessing. Pick any two of three.

Yeah, big scam. Probably a fash front.

Last I hear on the grapevine is ladybird developer is fascist and has publicly associated with other fascists; that plus cloudflare really disincentives supporting this browser project.

So it improves.

Good.

Hard to find movies that do that nowadays.

Buy more so that their economics and capabilities can be improved so they can sell better for cheaper.

That's how economics work, right? Someone will have to buy phones enough that it becomes financially viable to pursue the needed improvement (including eg.: getting better open hardware or even getting patents on already existing hardware released).

Manufacturers aren’t going to ditch Google. Play Store and Google certification are too valuable for them.

If legislation is made such that eg.: in the EU phones can not be registered in the cellular network unless they are open to both normal installation of apps (sIdElOaDiNg) and being able to fully install or remove Google Services, then Google will have to deal with who would want to work and pay to get a certification that effectively blocks you from selling and operating in one or more continents.

And such legislation would be not without precedent: open phones and custom ROMs are already suffering from it.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Someone will have to cave in if we want to break this stupid proprietary duopoly.

Honestly that's not a chicken-and-egg problem. Only one party of the two in this example has the power to create or change apps, whereas people in this example, even if they would use Linux, they effectively are prevented from.

The "someone" who has to cave in is obvious.

Jeez, tiktok reading comprehension these days.

The creature was innocent. And from the start he had no defense against the monster's machinations.

Buenas noches.

¿Qué se teje ahora que estamos oficialmente en primavera?

...Huh, it seems I'm quite out of date with the advantages of opus then!

Claro, y eso sin contar que Metro es un monopolio, por tanto no pueden aducir consentimiento. Si no me gusta que Metro se ponga estafador no tengo la opción de tomar otro ferrocarril subterráneo desde Recoleta a Tobalaba.

Sí pero eso es términos y condiciones, no un contrato. Y todos sabemos que los términos y condiciones que son "autoasumidos" no valen nada, pregúntenle a Winrar.

Hmmm interesante. Quieren forzar un contrato retroactivo bajo la excusa de que "no es que no te avisamos". En teoría yo, que no soy santiaguino, podría viajar ahora a Santiago y viajar en metro sin estar sujeto a esos términos y condiciones pues puedo alegar que no es un contrato válido: todo contrato legalmente válido debe ser un acuerdo explícito y de buena fe entre las partes, y con este artículo en cualquier momento que yo viaje en metro y alguien me reclame por sonarme muy fuerte la nariz yo puedo enfatizar que 1.- Metro no tiene mi consentimiento y 2.- tampoco puedo confiar en que actúe de buena fe ya que trató de deslizar esto bajo la mesa.

Cuánto les dolió en el potito a los latifundistas de ese campo de golf de cuicos que alguien pusiera, accidentalmente y con no más mala intención que evitar el poder de la Chancla, una bandera chilena en una ventana. Qué repugnantes.

what is the endgame of this cat and mouse game?

Same as usual: the mouse loses unless it assembles and unionizes with other mouses and they bring in a guillotine.
