It's not just native Apps. Alternative web UIs like Thunder, Photon and Voyager need them too.
Elon claims Tesla is already past that point.
Elon claims a lot of shit. Most of them are lies. He cannot prove with real data that "FSD" really crashes less.
Even if you’re skeptical of the claim, it’s clearly close enough to be concerned about.
Again, Teslas aren't even considered autonomous cars.
Don't get me wrong, I want to be optimistic. But currently it looks like this will take much longer to succeed than Elon and other hype men claimed.
That's exactly what the comment you are replying to said.
How about crossposting forum post links on Lemmy? This would help to get them exposure.
Have you ever tried DuckDuckGo or Qwant? They have better results in my opinion, as long as you don't care about the business snippets.
In the fediverse you are allowed to post thinks like these ✊
Why do you assume the developer has to implement what could be paid for?
If 80% of your income comes from a single company that pays you to develop the features they want, can you afford to decline specific requests without risking that client? Probably not. Without income diversification, you can quickly end up in a situation where your client dictates your work.
Why is the assumption that devs will give up agency?
Because financial dependence limits choice. When a developer relies on just a few clients, those clients gain leverage over them, making it difficult to turn down requests, even if they’d prefer to.
And why the assumption that all paid requests will be by corporations?
Because private individuals rarely spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to get a feature implemented. A more realistic approach for individual users would be crowdfunding or pooling resources to fund specific features.
Then corporations will decide even more where open source projects are going. If you pay me you decide where the project is going, not me.
However, if core development is unrelated to my income, I have full control over it's fate and don't need to implement what's in the interest of some shitty corporation.
Only if it's for Client specific Extensions not the core project. Basically freelance work. Paid bug fixes and feature requests to core are a big no-go.

Nope they all use the public API. Even the default Lemmy web client.
