Well you can start by trying on purpose to make an SCP wiki level horror scene. Then the bugs are features!

It would be pretty easy to, say, bring a patent suit against two random WINE developers and five people who admitted to running Steam games on Proton.

They might not win, but they don't necessarily have to win to scare a lot of people out of doing the thing they don't like.

Probably the more dangerous approach would be: now Windows 11 update XX flatly refuses to run un-notarized software, unless Windows Defender saw it before X date. To get your software notarized, it has to validate that it is running on genuine, non-rootkitted Microsoft Windows using a TPM attestation from the boot process, for Important Security Reasons. Microsoft has a patent on this mechanism that your software would necessarily infringe, but they're happy to license everyone to use that patent as long as the resulting software builds are in turn licensed to run only on Microsoft Windows, a license term with the mechanism helpfully enforces. Any software to bypass this and patch out the checks is clearly an illegal circumvention device for an effective digital rights management scheme, and therefore all gamers go to jail for 1000 years for contempt of business model.

It's still terrible though! Turn it 45 degrees why don'tcha!

I think it's meant to be since like 3 days ago.

That should just be the title bar now

I don't know why your friend doesn't like it. Ask your friend why they don't like it.

But now the windows one is getting scrapped whereas Waydroid is presumably sticking around.

I think we can trust that most phone camera apps do in fact obey the toggle they provide for whether or not to embed the GPS location data in the image.

How do snaps make money for Canonical?

There are a lot of missing steps people don't really understand yet R.E. how this all amounts to something complicated like "a liver". But we think that the basic building block of it is that there are gradients of chemical concentration that some cells set up, and then other cells react to the level of the chemical and decide to different things. There's a famous analogy of the French Flag Model, where the different stripes of the French flag are imagined to emerge from how far you are from the left edge where a "morphogen" chemical is coming from, because cells detect and react to different concentrations of the chemical in different ways.

And the cells do these things because the DNA programs them to do it. Some genes produce proteins that can turn around and bind to the DNA that encodes other genes, and make those other genes produce more or fewer proteins of their own. Proteins can be made so that they bind or unbind DNA in the presence of other proteins, or particular chemicals, or which can function to turn one chemical into another. So you can have little logic circuits made out of genes that measure chemicals and turn other genes on and off. And you can have little memory circuits based on which genes have things bound to them and which ones are currently on or off, so the cells can remember what it is they decided to be. And so the cells are programmed to differentiate into progressively more specific cell types over time depending on what signals they see, with the morphogen gradients or combinations of them allowing the cells to have some idea of where they are in the body.

And the proteins are these little squishy clicky things, like long strings of magnets that will snap into certain shapes, or that can swap between a few shapes. They can be shaped so they fit really nicely against certain shapes of DNA sequence or other proteins, or so that they fit really nicely against small molecules with a piece pushing on the molecule in just the right place to make it easy for an atom to break off the end of it or whatever. And because they live in this weird tiny world where everything is constantly vibrating around and banging against everything else (because of how tiny the volumes get when you shrink the lengths to cell size), this is enough for them to find and stick to the stuff they are shaped to stick to.

Then depending on genetic variation between people, the proteins involved can e.g. have different set points for the concentrations they react to, and that can translate into the threshold between cells deciding to do one thing or another moving around in the body, and in turn translate into people having e.g. a wider or narrower region of their face decide to be a nose.

shit how do you clean the dispenser tubes

They also have Paul Frazee, who is the Beaker Browser dude and one of the Secure Scuttlebutt dudes. And also whyrusleeping, one of the IPFS dudes. So if they manage to enshittify it won't be because they forgot to hire enough "Wizard Utopians" with decentralization experience.
