@StaticR @leeloo @lianna the issue is that software work is not like engine work. an individual making their phone do something is about 1 person-week’s effort from them making a million phones do that same thing. a person making their engine do something is about a person-century’s effort to multiply to the same number of engines.

@StaticR @leeloo @lianna in a vacuum, you are technically correct. there is no difference. in reality, George Hotz was able to enable an entire generation of people to sideload things onto their PS3s and iPhones *as a literal child*. somehow I think if he was into engines there would have been less widespread IP violation. I can’t put my finger on why, but maybe you can help?
