It’s one of the things that potentially prevent the technological singularity. That’s undoubtedly why the self-important Musk has an interest in it.

That sounds an awful lot like even their first party cartridges could be attack vectors.

Gotta start somewhere. It would be enough to rent your own place and get out from under your mother.

Missed the part where he doesn’t have a computer?

My experience has been that they have a tendency to make overly attractive men too. Getting it to generate anyone average nevermind ugly or with deformities (eg scars) is really hard.

From the same company that intentionally degrades the quality of Google Maps on Firefox.

You really defending the Taliban?

Yeah, you’re supposed to wait until you actually have a user base to enshittify it.

Our telemetry shows 80% of users never install any add-ons” i.e. the telemetry that any tech savvy person immediately turns off because they don’t want their browser spying on them and about which we have also complained numerous times.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Usage numbers are part of how they pay for ongoing support and development though.

You aren’t aware of the task in whole I’ve described . What I’ve described is 20% of it.

Yes, exactly.

It’s called an XY problem. Google it

Just reply “Nah but it’s fun”

Life is too short, just do it and when people notice say you’re trying it out for fun for a bit.

This is probably something you’ll think was really silly in a few years but who cares, live a little.

Scaling a well written system just requires throwing more hardware at said system. Yeah, you could tune it and tweak it, but that isn’t an ongoing and constant process.

Okay yeah, this conversation obviously isn’t going anywhere if you think the solution to scaling into hundreds of millions of users is just throwing hardware at the problem lol.

Can you tell me that last major feature added to the Play Store?

https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2023/11/power-your-growth-on-google-play.html

Yeah, hundreds is probably a low guess but I’m also excluding Android itself. There Play Store itself has a ton of features most of its end users aren’t aware of that are important to it’s overall operation and development ecosystem. Off the top of my head it does things like code signing and authentication, security scans, governance and enforcement of rules, payment processing, etc.

That is a lot, however my point is just that margin is a pretty worthless statistic for software since it has such high upfront costs.

How much R&D went into creating the Google Play store? Probably 100s of millions of dollars so far over the course of about 15 years. Do you not know what R&D is or something? In the US tax code, software development is considered R&D.

And yes, I am a software developer.

Yes, if you exclude the research and development costs then most websites have high margins. Keeping it running is the cheap part.
