He spoke carelessly, but he didn’t exactly say what the author said he said. You can in fact do many things with it. Copyright doesn’t care what you do if you aren’t copying. That’s the definition of the word.

Flatpak is one extra step. If apt or rpm already has what you want, which is true for many new users, why would we push them towards scary click thru action?
Isn’t this why we’d expect new users to use a built-in package manager? Because it avoids this exact problem?
Pushing someone new to Linux to use Flatpak? Shame on you.
The Apple Store was and is a great example of enshittification. Apple has everyone locked into it, and they make it impossible to search for what many of us want: free, ad-free, and if possible open source. That shows their values, their values are not your values, and they never will be.
Nothing wrong with learning new tricks, but it’s worth mentioning on the side that sometimes a cron job is the right tool.
Prosody claims to support Message Archive Management and HTTP file sharing, sounds like the feature you want, or at least it is close.
apt is easy to use and read. I haven’t dreamed of searching for a shiny replacement because there’s no problem to solve.
For me, the question is why I should add an extra layer of complexity. If the things I use already work well using apt, and if most things are bundled in the default distro install, then my life is already good.
This all depends on your software needs, if course. Some people are using a lot of new stuff, so the above setup leads to annoying situations.
If the main thing is PDF reading, buy an Android tablet. Of course research which one.
Yes, precisely. They built a useful feature and are now trying to wall off the garden. Enshittification.
It is a betrayal to the developers who put our projects up there. We wanted everything to be freely accessible, and of course this is just another step in enshittification of the service. Remember that many of us have small projects with few viewers, and we know that the extra burden on the server side isn’t even measurable. Yet our work is less accessible.
If you read that Wikipedia page, you will find that it says the opposite of what you thought it said. Oops!
Laws regulating TV shows? I just don’t see any need for it. We will all be fine without that media. Read a book or take a walk or browse free online media.
Of course simultaneous price increases suggest a possible antitrust issue, and that should be dealt with (but don’t cross your fingers) along with all the other antitrust issues in other areas.
Blaming the shareholders is partly disingenuous. Yes the shareholder problem is real, but yes the corporation has power to address it directly. There is no law that says short term profit must be maximized.
And good riddance to the streaming services. We just don’t need them.
Now now. You hate yourself for buying Nvidia knowing it works badly. :-)
Same here, of course. But now it is comforting to know that even if it breaks, we won’t be down for long. :-)
Single users really don’t need to worry much. If you really want to use Fedora, keep using it. But even if you get burned somehow in the future, it’s not hard to switch to some other distro. Just make sure your data is relatively portable. You do that normally, right?
If you’re a sysadmin, though, you should think carefully with anything Red Hat based.
I think that depends how you write your web scraper. Of course the web scraper is going to load the page, just like your web browser does, which by all accounts is not an issue. What happens after the page is loaded depends on how the software is written.
