I don't see the part of the article that mentions that?

I mean the evil corporation in Spiderman is "Oscorp" which is not very far away

It's quite alright, but the platform hasn't really grown in a while outside of its available catalogue. Gog galaxy is still in beta I think and it also still has no Linux launcher yet. Still good for the no DRM part tho

Not really, there's certainly a compromise where glasses level sized tech could be very appealing to a lot of people

Why does it need to be the open source version?

The issue is the platforms aren't competing, because shows can exclusively be on one platform only and you need to be subscribed to watch it, so you end up with the current landscape of services that instead of competing with each other make it so you need all of them to get a full experience. Alternative playstores might face similar issues, but you don't need to pay to download multiple stores and apps don't have exclusivity deals to one app store

One of the parties has to trust the endpoint. People can screenshot or forward you messages to other people unbeknownst to you, but you have to trust the other person not to do so, how is that any different from trusting another person that they choose a safe app?

They've lobbied before

Only because it's not as important for them to keep it, they make a lot of money from other properties

It didn't buy the format and then cancelled it, it did it purely by providing a more convenient way of listening to music than downloading mp3s, so yes, it's a win

Surprised Affinity Designer isn't under Ai?

I mean Adobe doesn't either
