It’s building out federation and you can already host your own account and control your own data and run your own feeds. The investors don’t have control of the company (public benefit corporation).
The only difference between it and Mastodon in terms of scraping is that scraping public data is a bit easier. Nothing about Mastodon makes that scraping difficult, it’s just more annoying to do. The company itself is not doing AI BS.
And some functions don’t support hard limits, you’d have to set up a script monitoring load and literally take down your service if you get near the max
Not easy to find a new job with a new team working out as well as the old team, leaving together is hard to organize, establishing a new company with the group who left is waaay harder unless you’re a bunch of supergeniuses, and chances are you’ll just have to sell anyway due to lack of a PR machine and distribution channels like what the big publishers have.
Unless the small studio basically starts off as a co-op you devs don’t have much of a voice.
Quote the right to have the advertised service delivered and that substantial changes can’t be forced without a right for the buyer to refuse and cancel

Neo Launcher seems to have either tabs or folders, not both (you have to choose one). Seems fairly close to what I want overall, still missing a few features
Kvaesito with its tags is really interesting but that’s not how I use launchers. If it had also supported modifying the default app list with tags as alternative views then it would’ve been great for me. And it would also need better tools for managing tags (bulk adding apps, navigating tags)
Lawnchair doesn’t let me customize folders within the app list
It’s pretty much a program running in OS kernel space to handle specific function calls which need low level system access. Most hardware needs custom drivers to work because they need to interact with those low level OS components, so that’s why they’re mostly associated with hardware.
A lot of antiviruses use custom drivers to intercept and inspect program behavior to look for viruses, etc
Where they now have to click on the right combination of 8+ browser choice menus (and Microsoft keeps adding more by splitting out various custom protocol handlers) and select the correct browser in all of them.
And then they’ll still wonder where their bookmarks and saved passwords and shit went and get mad that it “looks different” when Edge inevitably opens up again randomly when they click something else, and then they click that popup to make Edge the default to make that popup go away (because Edge is allowed to make itself default with one click, but nothing else is), and then they call support and yell
Source: I’ve taken those calls in support
Weird math bullshit.
But in essence, because they carry energy they must have momentum. It’s why they can impart momentum on what they hit, because momentum must be preserved.

Copyright covers creative expression, not functionality. The code and unique design elements would be protected, but not the idea of a grid or guessing letters, etc (which all predate them anyway). Even the word list is difficult to claim protection to if it was generated by algorithmic filters on dictionary words (it probably was) because then the selection also isn’t expressive.
So I can’t copy their code or exact look, but I can definitely make my own version legally.
What’s the point? Yeah I don’t know why they spent money on such a simple concept either. The copyright protection is far more useful when the thing has enough expression that clones won’t be indistinguishable anymore.
This is technically already legal precedence in USA, copyright requires human expression and without sufficient human creative control in ML generated works they’re effectively public domain
Edit: why downvotes?
FYI Yubico (who makes them) have devices compatible with each. You can technically use the passkey standard with a yubikey security key since it’s all FIDO2 protocols, but it’s certainly not standard
It’s just a question of device bound keys (the default for yubikeys) vs platform / exportable keys (passkeys), but the websites can’t tell the difference if you don’t tell it
Don’t forget the SD card reader, also PCIe
