I'm just skimming through the license on my phone and they include LGPL, apache, BSD, Mozilla public license, eclipse public license, w3c, MIT, apple, and GNu.

IANAPOLL (The extra POL is for patent or licensing) so I don't know the intricacies of each type.

But there are a lot.

If both grandparents were born there you have rights of descent and are an Irish citizen.

Just have to do the paperwork.

I wonder if any and everyone who has ever contributed code under whichever open license was used could sue the tits off google, not as a class, but thousands upon thousands of individual lawsuits, for breach of terms of said licence/contract.

So, will an app like this

which uses (w)adb, be able to install apk as I currently do?

Or will they also fuck this up ?

Human psychology is the same no matter the tech.

It just makes it easier.

And deadlier.

The 90-minute live demonstration featured the introduction of a complete computer hardware and software system called the oN-Line System or, more commonly, NLS, which demonstrated for the first time many of the fundamental elements of modern personal computing, including windows, hypertext, graphics, efficient navigation and command input, video conferencing, the computer mouse, word processing, dynamic file linking, revision control, and a collaborative real-time editor.

In 1968

Moral of the story - tech co's and gov id requirements are evil and have no basis in actual security.

Now that peoples data has been exposed, they are susceptible to id theft. So, how does a site or gov deal with that?

There suddenly are over 9000 Stan Smith's on the site. Weird.

Well, guys, for the safety of... .. (Murmuring... We're using the kids as justification this time or terrorism... Kids. OK.) the children, we will require a blood sample to verify your genetic code.

Thank you and have a nice day and welcome to gattaca.

So, Discord - by forcing your acceptance of their tos which renders them immune from damages done by "third parties*

By offloading a term of service that Discord requires you to provide.

If they force you to give the info, they are responsible for handling and storing it properly, no matter what some evil lawyer or exec says.

If laws make bad things legal because rich people can use words, then there needs to be some form of redress to return the spirit of the laws to the people.

Maybe we all make usernames with a legally binding personal ToS that is deemed agreed upon by the corporation accepting the username.

This is just a shell game and they are conmen.

I just have my old PC's running Linux connected directly to the tv or projector.

I use a super basic webdav server or free ^arr^ ^matey^ streaming sites.

I sometimes sftp into devices.

That's my setup.
