"The web is an abstraction that holds the power to liberate our computing in-situ, removing superfluous gatekeepers from the loop an increasing fraction of the time [...] They know this, and that's why they're trying to keep the web from winning."

Adam F's music is pretty much unavailable via streaming services (god knows why). It took me 20 yrs to find the albums Colours and KAOS, but now I have them. On CD. (And also safely backed up and available as lossless flac via my Plex server).

Naked Power - Infrequently Noted
Apple and Google's app stores stand for nothing and will stand up to no-one. Good riddance.
The Grok/Musk AI undressing scandal teaches us that Apple and Google's shameful app stores stand for nothing but profit, invalidating one of the 5 arguments they make to retain monopoly power to tax all software. But the other four arguments are bullshit, too:
