Some subversion of 3, which is fundamental to a lot of software found out in the wild.

I.e being more reliant upon Google Play services so you'll have to accept their predatory EULA.

Now if they released a new driver update system independent of Google Play, that would be better.

That's pretty one sided though. It's like saying the autocrats don't burn an insane amount of fuel, thereby also exacerbating the issue. If they were all using solar panels, scaling down their fossil fuel industries and actually gave a damn about the environment, then we'd be in agreement.

Oh there will be climate refugees, no doubt about it. But whitewashing the autocrats use of petroleum and using it to justify breaking a system meant to moderate something makes me think you're the left wing equivalent of republicans.

You do not game systems, you reform them, or even replace them... so pass laws that put embargos and sanctions on imported petroleum instead.

Good luck with that.

We should make a system dependant upon culpability. If France helps in the downfall of some country, causing a migrant crisis in the process, then their quota for asylum seekers should go up to accommodate their stupid geopolitical tomfoolery.

It's a geo-political "put your money where you mouth is" kind of system.

Sun Microsystems was once the great hope of the computing world, and technically the JVM was first to normalise the use of VM's, albeit from a containerised perspective. It was Docker before docker, in some sense.

This coupled with Solaris and the SPARC systems that were Java-native (whatever that means) enabled this type of containerisation from a hardware level, which again: was a huge thing.

But, Sun turned for the worse once the JVM hit browsers and server stacks. That's when their SaaS model was envisioned, that was the precursor to the acquisition by Oracle.

So it started nicely, but hit the enshitification velocity somewhere in the early 2000s.
