No I wasn’t suggested it be forced or companies be nationalized.
I was saying governments could provide incentives and support for workers to form worker owned companies. At the moment western governments heavily favor formation of capitalist companies.
GrapheneOS is leading Android custom rom, but it isn’t a startup and doesn’t support much hardware.
The others are LineageOS based and have weak points when it comes to security, privacy, and frequency updates.
All Android custom roms are still directly tied to Google’s software development (AOSP).
Sailfish OS (Jolla) is Linux based, but is proprietary, so not really an open platform.
So seems like Jolla is the only company really developing an independent mobile OS.
Companies focused on digital sovereignty. The EU, both companies and end users, are completely dependent on US software and operating systems. There is a bit of movement around governments using Linux, but there is nothing happening around replacing iOS and Android.
I have mainly been seeing AI and defense companies in the German tech market. Not the kind of companies we need.
I think the boom and bust cycle of tech is result of capitalists trying to make big bets and then mostly failing.
With worker owned companies, you wouldn’t have this type of risky investing. Workers would optimization not for massive returns, but sustainable business practices, products, working conditions. A worker owned company wouldn’t burn cash for 10 years, artificially keeping prices low to starve out competition.
In order to transition to worker owned companies, it would be difficult as you mention, but governments could provide financial to help to get worker owned companies started.
Worker owned companies are the way forward.
You should try Gram instead. It is a Zed fork with all the AI and other anti-features removed.
I am a software developer in Germany and have also been wondering where are the jobs for creating the Linux software to replace Windows software. So far I have seen hardly any.
I did similar, Xbox 360->PS4->Steam Deck
The main argument is due to copyright issues of LLM generated code. Github will happily remove repos which violated copyright laws or IP laws. It makes sense that Codeberg doesn’t want to host code which may be violating copyright law.
The American capitalist tech industry is already a dystopian hellscape 😂
This sadly aligns with my company. Remote workers remaining from before the forced return to office can’t get a promotion unless they move to a city with an official office. This is actually the stated company policy, not an unspoken policy.
None of that questions if we should be building AI in the first place.
Who stands to benefit when AI is developed and has massive consequences on society? I think it is mainly capitalists and global elite benefiting and society losing out.
Also no mention of the environmental destruction that is needed to build and run AI.
I’m skeptical when AI leaders and big tech are behind it. They want to be part of the discussion to make sure their AI business remains protected and becomes cemented as one of the few solutions allowed to operate.
At the moment Darling only supports running x86_64 macOS binaries.
There is on going work to make Darling run arm64 macOS binaries, but it hasn’t made much progress recently.
The architecture of your Linux machine needs to match the architecture of the macOS binary, which can support both x86_64 and arm64.
There is a research paper on this topic here: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11023-023-09644-y
A/B testing without consent is unethical. This doesn’t fly in any scientific fields, yet the technology industry doesn’t think twice about experimenting on users without consent.
I think it is mainly happening because companies don’t want to pay for user research/studies and would rather try and make assumptions about how their software is used based on aggregate data collection.
I use DuckDuckGo’s email hiding service. I have had sites reject signing up with a @duck.com email address. So services will definitely move to block Apple’s new subdomain only for aliased email addresses.
I had been using Kate for working on C++, Objective-C, and python projects both on macOS and Linux. I didn’t manage to get C++ debugging or the LSP integrations working, as it isn’t easy to figure out how to setup it up on different platforms.
In the last 6 months, I have switched over to Gram, and it is trivial to configure the LSPs and debuggers, and have since stopped using Kate.
