Only difference is lack of updates for security and latest android, turns phones into ewaste long before the end of the hardware useful life.

Still got the onerous signing procedure that still makes devs pay a tithe to Apple like in other markets I assume?

That in itself might act to make linux attractive as it can be a much lighter weight alternative to windows to stretch the useful life of hardware they own.

In my experience neither of those are true, on linux unless a dependency was dropped a 4 year old program will still probably work fine and a 20 year old program on windows will likely have some glitches which may or may not be problematic.

When I dual booted it was to try and get away from the win.

There is probably a lot of listening data that could be useful. Say you like a particular song, you could look at what other songs people who stream that do also streamed a lot?

It's AI in the same way the computer controlled opponents in any video game since the 80s is AI. When you realise that is the metric by which something is judged to be AI or not, calling LLM AI seems a lot more valid much also much less impressive.

Worse, unless you have the source code to that 70 year old software it's probably even less useful.

No, copyright applies specifically to the code, eulas and copyleft such as GPL rely on that fact. The logic itself can't be, but the specific implementation can. It's why clean room reverse engineering is fine, but a tainted decompilation direct from a binary may not be.

Except that isn't what we have, we still have proprietary crap that is just open core now and that open core is dominated by a single corp that can dictate what standards it wants just like when IE was on top.
