  • I hear this a lot, I’ve not known a single person who has considered it a status thing. There are people who have cheap phones from both apple and android and they were made fun of for the price of the phone, not the bubble color. iMessage just made it much nicer to talk to people. “I can send messages over wifi!” made it so you could send messages in school or anywhere with a big metal roof. “The images are better!” These were limitations of the SMS standard that Apple designed around. Now? Yeah, there’s other options, but back then iMessage made its hold by being able to be used by people who couldn’t use SMS or didn’t want to for whatever reason










  • Then the other code is developed to cause the arm to function. Code is a collection of ideas, same as a book. It’s not like rockstar’s code is going to allow a robot to stand because I’m pretty sure that sort of code isn’t developed in a game engine to begin with. Rockstar is coding for a platform that doesn’t run on the hardware that causes a biomechanical arm to function. I think a lot of people have the idea that FOSS should be every code ever, but when you look at the way that paid software does things, you realize it’s always a little more feature rich (not necessarily a smoother experience) because they can afford to pay a developer to develop the code. If GTA has some revolutionary ideas, then others can take the idea and find a way to skirt copyright just like they always have.
