Plenty of streaming services now don't have full functionality on desktop OS's, only mobile apps. Can't do 1080p on Disney+ in a browser. Can't do surround sound. etc.
Don't worry, I'm sure eventually you'll simply be required to give one of these things access to your bank account and that decision will be taken out of your hands.
We haven't reoriented the entirety of society and the global economy around Galois theory, nor are all the Galois theory companies worth trillions of dollars.
To make money in order to eat food and have a home.
I care about having a general purpose web content blocker. I use it for blocking all kinds of things that aren't ads, like YouTube comment sections, random noisy useless cruft I don't care about, etc.
To be clear, this will also happen in the USA. The destruction of privacy is perhaps the only issue with full throated support across the political spectrum.
Based on their actions, virtually all successful high level executives in tech only care about money and they don't care about making good products, etc.
> they're clearly in it just for the money That's often how jobs work. I happen to like my job, but let's not pretend like everyone is going to make sufficient money following their most passionate interests.

I agree. The sheer amount of flexibility it provides makes it both hard to use/read and also not particularly safe/sound. No other type system in existence allows you to be as incoherent as TS.
The issue with TS is that it's not really a type system, it's mostly just comments with a linter bolted on. It tries, but it's fundamentally broken in too many ways. Here's just one very simple example, there are many…
This comment seems to presuppose that the "evil capitalists" are infallible. People can be bad at their jobs and/or can act irrationally.
Bills are not hard to read because they are complex, but because they are poorly written. They generally contain lots of comma-separated lists in sentences, as well as nested conditional clauses. If they were written in…
I wasn't really interested in asking Claude myself, because I wasn't really able to verify the claims being made so it's just noise. I'd hoped that the person who had written the code and put it up for review would be…
I'm seeing plenty of internal work where I ask someone about their code, they ask Claude, and reply with "Claude says...". That's substantively different than going from assembly to C.
> Now we could have some kind of system whereby excess icons get dumped into a … menu, but that defeats the entire purpose since they’re no longer on the screen all the time! This is just not true. The purpose is not…
This is almost a willful misinterpretation of what I said. I didn't say it should be regulated or illegal. I just expressed a thought that perhaps we shouldn't reorient everything around making things easy for the…
The amount of lost revenue due to the implication of cut corners needs to be higher than the cost of hiring an artist by enough of a margin that the managers who make the decision start to care, and enough that they're…
I'm not sure that making the computers easier to use for "most people" has had a net positive effect on society. If an ability requires effort and discipline to attain, perhaps fewer people would take it for granted and…
The clear intent is to stop allowing regular people to be able to compute...anything. Instead, you'll be given a screen that only connects to $LLM_SERVER and the only interface will be voice/text in which you ask it to…
I'm not saying zero actual people care, I'm saying that not enough people care to actually differentiate. Is Windows getting better now that you switched? Then it doesn't matter you left.
Judging by the state of most software I use, customers genuinely could not care less about bugs. Software quality is basically never a product differentiator at this point.
Are you not concerned that this world is deeply tied to you having an internet connection to one of a couple companies' servers? They can jack up the price, cut you off, etc.
