Wow. You have some really cool quick-improvenent ideas alongside major improvements. OCR would have applications in so many other situations too!

It definitely sounds like you will be under-appreciated under the new owners, you have so much skill and knowledge that are kinda going to waste with them.

But based on your other comments here, you know this too. Best wishes and good luck in your search.

I feel you so much on this. Bet your work was really cool.

What cool FOSS things would you do first if this take-over company allowed you to?

Mr. Hutz we won!

We?

This point comes up a lot, but how does Photoshop survive? If chrome were split, Im sure they would find ways to make it work.

Corporate licensing would probably be the #1 way they could survive easily. The general public sees alternatives as "junk" to the main thing when it comes to tech. This, imo, is why Firefox is near death.

Now idk if the licensing route would be better or worse for us.

Your assumptions are poor. People sometimes ask because they are looking for advice from others. "What's your take on this", etc.

Plus, them asking lets others know something is possible they hadnt even thought to search for.

Nothing wrong with asking questions on sites centered around user discussions.

Donwvote and don't answer if you think they are asking in bad faith.

I doubt COD is peer to peer anymore. Maybe like 10 years ago. No way they are giving up that much control over the game

This was amazing. Thank you. Sent this to a friend who is a gazillionaire in FF14.

The game developers took multiple visits to my planet

Can you share more about this part? I never played NMS, so how does that work? How did you know they were visiting? What did they do when they were there? Kinda cool you were noticed for your efficiency!

  1. While also exponentially increasing the amount of good people becoming more aware of how broken parts of society are.

Let's hope good people continue to do good things in every way they are able.

Thank you everyone trying to make things better.

Just wanted to say thank you for writing this. Very cool take, that was so well written to get us on board for how and why "that old junk" has personality that is being lost.

Also

Damn.

Doubt it's not covered in EULA. Probably has something like

Company reserves the right to cancel your account for any reason, or without reason...

Does route calculation happen on device or on Google servers? Is it cheaper for Google to not show alternate routes?
