Also apps can outgrow what the author(s) can do and need to be adopted to continue progress. Or you'd rather work on something new or spend time with family. Or the app is finished, no need to add more features and the code is there if you want to fork and maintain.

Report: White House delaying release of voting machine security study
Electronics are superior to paper for many tasks but voting for your share of representation in government ain't one of them. Without indentifying who voted for who (red flag) and verifying it then you can only hope the software was counting properly at run time and not subverted. You can watch people miscount paper in real-time and call them out.

Perhaps, but lack of competition ain't helping. It's not like anyone can just start making them.
Intel, the small, new company to the GPU space is now 4% owned by Nvidia..

Electronic voting can be subverted at scale without a paper trail leading to you. People are going to notice you trying to hide the big ballot boxes up your t-shirt.

Why are so many Linux projects on Microsoft GitHub? Shouldn't they all move to Codeberg?
Reply in thread
I'd like to think that is so but some here will argue non-copyleft licenses are "more free". Ime they don't reply after I point out that's the freedom to deny others freedom.

I prevent others from relicensing my works under less-free licenses or making them non-free by using Copyleft/share-a-like licenses.

Widen the scope to consider downsteam users (the dev's user's users and beyond) and now the potential lack of any software freedom makes it freedom muchtheless.

Paralyzed Jockey Loses Ability to Walk After Manufacturer Refuses to Fix Battery For His $100,000 Exoskeleton
The manufacture should have zero say if their product gets repaired or not. The only person who can give permission to repair it is the owner. It should be illegal to implement tying to lockout parts being used as a replacement. Right to repair
They call it jailbreak because this is an issue of freedom: software freedom

Open-source game engine Godot is drowning in 'AI slop' code contributions: 'I don't know how long we can keep it up'
Before hitting submit I'd worry I've made a silly mistake which would make me look a fool and waste their time.
Do they think the AI written code Just Works (TM)? Do they feel so detached from that code that they don't feel embarrassment when it's shit? It's like calling yourself a fictional story writer and writing "written by (your name)" on the cover when you didn't write it, and it's nonsense.
