- zb3How is it funded? Is that just some guy doing this for fun? What if there's an offer to buy it? How sustainable this is?
- It's the governments' fail.. this kind of software can't be profitable, so it should be funded via grants for common good.. these did not arrive though.
- Binder will come to linux desktop soon... together with Android :)
- Funnily enough, I wasn't even downvoted yet :D
But you see, it's hard to post smarter comments when the title and the article don't help..
- Fsck this cartel.. I hope China will fill these gaps and help restore normal prices.
- I'm waiting for the WebKit part - I remember this Japanese law also mandated Apple to allow other browser engines. The EU law effectively failed to enforce this.. I hope this will work better in Japan.

- So here's my opinion: unless re-programming something is illegal, it should be illegal for the manufacturer to prevent the consumer from doing that.
- Was this market manipulation legal? If so, that's crazy..
- > But don't you think that it's valuable to look at how do we compensate people who create content when their content is being used by genAI.
But why should we compensate them simply because their content is being consumed by AI? For me, any kind of compensation MUST take relevance into account, otherwise we'll reward quantity and not quality, thus quality won't be preserved.
Maybe the answer is to actually NOT do any compensation like that, instead focusing solely on attribution so that it's in people's interest to reward select creators manually to keep the content valuable.
- Who should receive the compensation? If I want to know the answer to a particular question and most search results point to SEO garbage which doesn't even answer it, then who should be compensated and for what? If those SEO garbage websites are to be compensated, doesn't that just incentivize more garbage?
- Compensation to which publishers? To those providing links to SEO spam?
If I'm to pay (indirectly) for the content which is used to form the response, we need to match the content that was actually used, not just the content that was sourced, otherwise we'd be rewarding SEO garbage again.
- You presume that ads will just be near the content you want.. but what if ads will be served instead of the content, like instead of AI answering the question fully, some of it would be deffered to a book or instead of doing a trustworthy comparison it would bias the result?
People would run away, but in Gemini they're already drifting towards this direction with the useless garbage video suggestions..
- For me they've already enshittified Gemini (at gemini.google.com) by making it recommend useless YouTube videos which I don't want to watch because I want to get the answer - that's why I use AI.
- Or c) where you know that these requirements would impact your enemy more than others, or make it quit EU
- But AOSP is open source while Sailfish OS is not. Also "proprietary blobs" != "proprietary blobs" (there's varying level of obfuscation/debug info).
- > And the other browser vendors with conflicitng interests just go along with it?
When there's a conflict of interest they don't (Apple refuses to implement some APIs that would help making their walled garden app store more obsolete). But just maintaining a duopoly (Mozilla is funded by Google) is not a conflicting interest itself.
> Did you come to that opinion after engaging in the discussions with them?
With employees? There's no point. If you have a well paid job you will never accept the fact that what you're doing might not be so good after all..
- > How did this happen?
That's pretty simple - Google has poured tons of money into Chrome and Mozilla. Google is not a charity so this was a strategic investment.
> You should go over to the CSS working group and let them know
That wouldn't work, money is what ultimately matters there.
- Not supported in Firefox and Safari. Also it seems most people forget that the more bloated the web platform is, the more resources are needed to develop and maintain a web browser engine.. Chromium is open-source, but it's already expensive to maintain a fork or even rebuild it..
- > Lots of emo, not much fact.
People not wanting others to indirectly force them to relocate, work additional unpaid commute hours and pay for it is not "emo". It's a critical fight.
