Speed is not a good quantifier for industry success. Speed to market might get you some initial customers, but speed alone won’t keep them. If your product is junky, slow, and insecure you are going to lose those customers you had, and potentially open yourself up to lawsuits in the process.

The things that matter more to long term success and sustainability are all the things AI is not.

I’ve only started using F-Droid recently, but it’s UI is a clusterfuck. I welcome an overhaul.

LLMs suck at writing code, but they are absolutely amazing at reading code and finding bugs. I am firmly against the usage of LLMs to write anything, but they have a place as a diagnostics tool when verified by a human.

You can’t pay me enough to click on that link.

Protection through obfuscation is not real protection. This has been an ongoing thing in the security world and is especially relevant for software. All obfuscation does is protect you from script kiddies (which AI isnt) and make the actual process slower for legitimate users. Like all DRM it only really hurts the people legitimately using your software.

With major players out of the picture, CODA and other agencies will likely shift their attention to Nyaa in a bid to curb the copyright infringement that has reportedly bled the anime industry dry for years.

Yeah, it is piracy that is bleeding you dry, not the overly expensive merchandise or archaic business practices. And it surely isn’t the lack of simultaneous international licensed releases while operating at a scale that assumes such sales.

Japan’s entertainment industries have always been archaic and draconian. If you want to operate on an international scale you need to abide by international practices, and if you operate only on a local level then you can’t use international piracy as an excuse for a lack of sales.

Their valuation was made based on the potential for every company to be using the product. No other companies outside of Musk-owned ones are valued that way. Many are valued on the average of a few years of revenue multiplied by 10.

It is blatant corruption and market manipulation. Anybody investing in such a company should expect to be holding bags within 24 hours.

Nothing is going to happen to the stock, unfortunately. Too many rich people would lose too much money if it tanked, so they will keep it overinflated and overvalued by any means necessary.

The US music industry has always been bullshit, going all the way back to record labels. I would feel bad for the artists, but I don’t give two shits about the distributor who acts like they own the music and feels entitled to all monetary rewards for someone else’s work.

I live in the US and I dont trust US companies with my data either. They either sell it or are handled by easily exploitable systems developed offshore in India.

So, in that sense I do not trust the US, China, India, or Russia with my data and avoid software developed in any of these places when feasibly possible.

If it works I will not be picky.

Thanks for reminding me i have a craptop in storage thst i can use for a server.
