It’s so obvious, then again I think there’s some cars out there without even a metal key for the engine. So dumb.

prints is damn useful
print(1, 2, 3) = 123
prints(1, 2, 3) = 1 2 3
I thought so as they said “I remember” but I though Slashdot might be something new… 🫠
Was that long ago?
What types of games are listen heavy?

Not quite. Google doesn’t want competition or content creators to be elsewhere.
They want you to pay a higher price but since you have a choice of paying nothing then the message seems clear to me. You can see comedians on there for free, they tell real jokes.
YouTube doesn’t want your money.
Worst part is the government won’t learn from this and will continue to use the proprietary operating system.
The difference is proprietary software has to be caught being insecure to be “guilty of being insecure” while open source software has the potential to be publically verified to a degree that it’s effectively “proven innocent”.
When I think of bad actors and software I think of security from 3rd parties after the intentions of the authors. Not just security but also privacy and any other anti-features users wouldn’t want. That applies to the OS, apps or drivers. Hardware indeed has concerns like software, which is just a wider conversation about security, which is just part of user/consumer rights.
That sucks, but the answer to bad results is still more/better tests 😇
If I’m a government I’m hella criminalising the sharing of proprietary software.
This is like asking if you do scientific experiments yourself or do you trust others’ results. I distrust private prejudice and trust public, verifiable evidence that’s survived peer review.
Consider people counting paper votes in an election. Multiple political parties are motivated by their own self interests to watch the counting to prevent each other faking votes. That is a security feature and without it then the validity of the election has a critical unknown making it very sussy.
An OS using proprietary software is like as an electronic voting machine, we pretend it’s secure to feel better about a failing we can’t change.
That just moves requiring trust from the 1st party to 2nd or 3rd party. Unreasonable trust.
You can’t verify it’s secure if it’s proprietary, so it’s never secure? Having control over other people’s computing creates bad incentives to gain at your user’s expense, so it’s day 1 you should lose trust.
