Is offense breach of contract with code going public the punishment?

You're advocating for ransom.

Agreed. And this is where I see systemd's value, it offers a common ground so people know how to configure this is , much like how the registry organizes things in general.

Everything has a limit. People find current registry has limits that put it beyond "sucks" for the average use case.

Do you have some guesstimate about what the performance numbers are?

This is all legacy from the centralized mainframe days that translated into UNIX. The mentality that a central authority would dictate everything for everyone kind of broke with personal computers.

It's still useful for a fleet of clients and servers in an enterprise environment though.

Alexa is supposedly adding "human-like voice" soon, which I can only assume "LLMs with plugins"

These are supposed to be voice assistants and we don't communicate that way.

If you were riding with someone, you could say "hey, let's stop at X on the way?"

Voice assistants today require you to conform to an unknown strict protocol that only works if you say the right words in the right order. I prefer to avoid the frustration.

Just today I asked it about a historical figure "hey Google, who was X?" and it replied. I was shocked and felt lucky so I asked "What is ChatGPT?" and it gave me the usual response "sorry, I didn't understand". Seriously, you didn't understand? It could have said something like I couldn't find it in my search results (odd but okay), or that it can't look it up online, etc.

I have to say "asian restaurant" and it finds a bunch of places (many aren't asian at all). But if I say "hey Google, what are the Asian restaurants near neighborhood X with 4 stars or more?" it craps its pants hard.... even though Google Search is totally capable of answering that question.
