A lot of people are stuck with safari on iOS where there's not even another browser since apple bans them.
People choose to download Chrome over firefox, to ditch their custom browser engine (microsoft & opera) in favor of chromium.
We've centralized development effort on a large open source project.
Why exactly is this really really bad?
I find the safari situation bad because I can't use various web standards, it's closed source, etc, but the chromium one doesn't bother me. I just install firefox.
Copyleft is an abuse of copyright to pervert its intention. Copyright's intent was that you could not copy things freely, and copyleft is to ensure you can.
If there is no copyright, then you can copy things freely.
All that we need after that to realize the GPL ideal is to legally mandate that people have a right to access and modify source code of software/hardware they use, i.e. the government needs to mandate that Apple releases the iOS kernel and source code and that iPhones can be unlocked and custom kernels flashed, that John Deere must provide the tractor's source code, that my fridge releases its GPL-violating linux patches, etc etc.
You have the right to free speech, the right to a lawyer, and the right to source code. Simply amend the bill of rights.
It's already a configurable option in the kernel which can be fully disabled by distros if they wanted to provide their own compatibility layer, or just not ship any software that has a hard dependency on it.
> we cannot accept any changes based on the GNU source code [..]. It is however possible to look at other implementations under a BSD or MIT license like Apple's implementation or OpenBSD.
The wording of that clearly implies that you should not look at GNU source code in order to contribute to uutils.
Managed agents aren't particularly harder to replicate yourself either.
Give me a team of 3 good engineers, 4 months, and about $600k and I'll have a clone that operates on a warm pool of ec2 instances, or warm pool of k8s pods, or any other platform you might like. Or 1 good engineer, 1 month, and $200k of anthropic credits.
You know, you can write in English if you want on this english-language forum.
I assume you're saying "You can just generate your own harness to not be subject to these claude code issues".
Unfortunately, Anthropic has already made it clear that using claude code is the only way to be sure you won't get charged API pricing instead of max plan pricing, so the tokens are way more expensive.
What you said doesn't make sense, what do you mean by "using claude code is the only way to be sure you won't get charged API pricing" ?? they can block your account or make the api more sensible for their harness to detect but the risk of being charged API is 0% when you are on a plan.
> the risk of being charged API is 0% when you are on a plan.
When you configure openclaw to use the oauth claude-code max authentication, there was a period where you were charged extra token rates. You might still be, I'm not sure, I don't want to try and risk getting banned.
It's not 0%, they've shown they're willing to sell you a plan, let you login with that plan, and then charge you differently.
This is an argument for open models, where you can run your model with your system prompt on your hardware, which prevents the provider from arbitrarily injecting system prompts.
This is an argument for open source tooling (like opencode) and open models (like deepseek).
Grok is not an open model, Elon does not get any credit for anything here.
You cannot run Linux on the macbook neo at the time of writing, unless you mean in a VM, and the processor + memory are barely enough to reasonably manage that. Even a mid-sized rust project, or a nixos build, would OOM for a VM.
Yeah, I've run tests similar to this while evaluating gpt 5.4 vs claude 4.6
Claude is more likely to figure out workarounds and get things deleted if I tell it to delete stuff, so it performs much better in this benchmark and I prefer it.
GPT is more likely to stop and prompt you "I got an error deleting this, should I try another way?", and since the operator gets more of these prompts, they'll hit continue more withut even reading it, so it ends up being more annoying for the operator and not really reducing the chance of it happening imo.
If your workflow for your llm says "delete the ec2-instance", and the ec2 api gives back "deletion protection is on", I want my llm to turn off deletion protection and delete it.
I feel like you're implying that the reverse result, prompting the user, is better, but I disagree with that.
At this point, a microvm can be booted in ~200ms so you don't even have to keep a warm pool, you can just launch em on demand.
GitHub CI (actions) uses virtual machines.
