Like I did (at the time) high-end gaming on it, back when gaming used to sometimes tax your CPU and not only your GPU, and in that entire time I didn't ever feel like I would have benefitted at all from an upgrade, it was so far ahead of the curve. And that was AMD's budget chip line! They simply didn't deliberately cripple it nearly as much as Intel did their Celerons.
(Though I blame developers being lazy with optimisation as well as games also being released on console for this.)
I think you're overestimating how many people think like you on both of these topics (iOS/Android and Amazon).
But sure, what other kind of approach do you suggest that would work better to, say, kick them out of the EU ?

Because I see A LOT of “open source” advocates these days, and more and more “source available”.
But the old school Free Software hippies(that started with BSD, NOT GNU, IMNHO) are slowly dying out and being replaced with?
Sounds silly. Don't use wordpress because a store I don't like uses it? I hate to tell you this but friend and foe are using Google search.. time to move on.
Also, downvoted for being a platform shill.

An agentic LLM bot is likely to have no problems at creating a patch and mailing it but it's a major pain for most human developers. Furthermore they can ban source email addresses and vet potential contributors before letting them in the mailing list.
Or is this because most developers got complacent in only using GitHub and similar?
Background scanner noise on the internet is incredibly common, but the AI scraping is not at the same level. Wikipedia has published that their infrastructure costs have notably shot up since LLMs started scraping them. I've seen similar idiotic behavior on a small wiki I run; a single AI company took the data usage from "who gives a crap" to "this is approaching the point where I'm not willing to pay to keep this site up." Businesses can "just" pass the costs onto the customers (which is pretty shit at the end of the day,) but a lot of privately run and open source sites are now having to deal with side crap that isn't relevant to their focus.
The botnets and DDOS groups that are doing mass scanning and testing are targeted by law enforcement and eventually (hopefully) taken down, because what they're doing is acknowledged as bad.
AI companies, however, are trying to make a profit off of this bad behavior and we're expected to be okay with it? At some point impacting my services with your business behavior goes from "it's just the internet being the internet" to willfully malicious.
