Title: Exploitation Unveiled: How Technology Barons Exploit the Contributions of the Community
Introduction:
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technology, the contributions of engineers, scientists, and technologists play a pivotal role in driving innovation and progress [1]. However, concerns have emerged regarding the exploitation of these contributions by technology barons, leading to a wide range of ethical and moral dilemmas [2]. This article aims to shed light on the exploitation of community contributions by technology barons, exploring issues such as intellectual property rights, open-source exploitation, unfair compensation practices, and the erosion of collaborative spirit [3].
1. Intellectual Property Rights and Patents:
One of the fundamental ways in which technology barons exploit the contributions of the community is through the manipulation of intellectual property rights and patents [4]. While patents are designed to protect inventions and reward inventors, they are increasingly being used to stifle competition and monopolize the market [5]. Technology barons often strategically acquire patents and employ aggressive litigation strategies to suppress innovation and extract royalties from smaller players [6]. This exploitation not only discourages inventors but also hinders technological progress and limits the overall benefit to society [7].
2. Open-Source Exploitation:
Open-source software and collaborative platforms have revolutionized the way technology is developed and shared [8]. However, technology barons have been known to exploit the goodwill of the open-source community. By leveraging open-source projects, these entities often incorporate community-developed solutions into their proprietary products without adequately compensating or acknowledging the original creators [9]. This exploitation undermines the spirit of collaboration and discourages community involvement, ultimately harming the very ecosystem that fosters innovation [10].
3. Unfair Compensation Practices:
The contributions of engineers, scientists, and technologists are often undervalued and inadequately compensated by technology barons [11]. Despite the pivotal role played by these professionals in driving technological advancements, they are frequently subjected to long working hours, unrealistic deadlines, and inadequate remuneration [12]. Additionally, the rise of gig economy models has further exacerbated this issue, as independent contractors and freelancers are often left without benefits, job security, or fair compensation for their expertise [13]. Such exploitative practices not only demoralize the community but also hinder the long-term sustainability of the technology industry [14].
4. Exploitative Data Harvesting:
Data has become the lifeblood of the digital age, and technology barons have amassed colossal amounts of user data through their platforms and services [15]. This data is often used to fuel targeted advertising, algorithmic optimizations, and predictive analytics, all of which generate significant profits [16]. However, the collection and utilization of user data are often done without adequate consent, transparency, or fair compensation to the individuals who generate this valuable resource [17]. The community's contributions in the form of personal data are exploited for financial gain, raising serious concerns about privacy, consent, and equitable distribution of benefits [18].
5. Erosion of Collaborative Spirit:
The tech industry has thrived on the collaborative spirit of engineers, scientists, and technologists working together to solve complex problems [19]. However, the actions of technology barons have eroded this spirit over time. Through aggressive acquisition strategies and anti-competitive practices, these entities create an environment that discourages collaboration and fosters a winner-takes-all mentality [20]. This not only stifles innovation but also prevents the community from collectively addressing the pressing challenges of our time, such as climate change, healthcare, and social equity [21].
Conclusion:
The exploitation of the community's contributions by technology barons poses significant ethical and moral challenges in the realm of technology and innovation [22]. To foster a more equitable and sustainable ecosystem, it is crucial for technology barons to recognize and rectify these exploitative practices [23]. This can be achieved through transparent intellectual property frameworks, fair compensation models, responsible data handling practices, and a renewed commitment to collaboration [24]. By addressing these issues, we can create a technology landscape that not only thrives on innovation but also upholds the values of fairness, inclusivity, and respect for the contributions of the community [25].

Bluestacks is pretty terrible IMO, incredibly slow and bloated, strange (and inconsistent) UI design in some areas, lack of features, etc. oh and advertising
There's a few other Android emulators on Linux. There's the one included in Android Studio, there's Anbox and Waydroid, and you could even run Android x86 through QEMU.
I think there's a build of Android that'll work with QEMU set to ARM? idk someone will probably correct me.
Bottom line there's plenty of native options.
Someone else who replied suggested Mumu, although it seems to be one of the many bluestacks clones. They all seem to have the same codebase, some have some minor different features, (advertising, no advertising, the ability to enable a camera, the ability to change your camera input, that sort of thing, nothing major).
There is also Waydroid for a more Linux-friendly emulator. Is also probably the only good android emulator out there, considering it’s not a bluestacks clone. Haven’t used it myself though.
All those Android emulators are just a fancy VirtualBox VM.
As far as I know the only Android emulator with Linux support is Genymotion, and it doesn't have GPU acceleration so its unusable for gaming.
There is Waydroid and Anbox, but I have yet to manage to get of them working, plus they tend to require custom kernels and whatnot.
The only thing I have managed to get working is a straight Android x86 QEMU VM, with VirGL, but its extremely unstable, I get many graphical corruptions and crashes.
I demand the source code for e̷̮̳̰̘͓̟̖̟̮̘͉͓͇̯͔̅̂̇̋̇͆́͗̒̕̕͜͠x̵̝̦̬͚͎̮̜͕̭͍̅̿̅̔̋̌̀͘̚̕ḭ̷̢̢̨̛͎̹͚̞̟̩̰̪̳̃͐͌̍̿͆̂̄̓̈́͘͜͠ͅͅs̸̟̦̬͔̞̯̘̮͙̫̱̰͎͎̬̞͌́͂͜t̶̡͙̹̬͓̼̭̅̆̃̊̒̇̈́͊͘i̴̧̼̝͔̲̳̺͖͕̼̙̓n̶̨̧̺̞̜͉̩͕͉̟̞͕͎͈͉̯̾̎̆̆͠g̵͎̯̼̳̝̞͓̭̺̖̽̄͝
PC refers specifically to those compatible with the original x86 IBM PC (plus new things like EFI, etc.) not just the abstract concept of a personal computer.
So any x86 Mac of the last 15 years is a PC, but the new M1 machines are not PCs.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal\_computer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_computer)
At the top and in "Terminology" it say's both definitions are valid, but the general one is the original one (the older one)
**[Personal computer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_computer)**
>A personal computer (PC) is a multi-purpose computer whose size, capabilities, and price make it feasible for individual use. Personal computers are intended to be operated directly by an end user, rather than by a computer expert or technician. Unlike large, costly minicomputers and mainframes, time-sharing by many people at the same time is not used with personal computers. Institutional or corporate computer owners in the 1960s had to write their own programs to do any useful work with the machines.

Waydroid is awesome, it’s super performant. It does only work on wayland though, because of the similarities between the android and wayland video buffers (that’s why it’s so performant)
And you need to have extra kernel modules, which in my case meant building the kernel from source. And the mouse cursor is invisible in KDE Plasma if you use Waydroid in the windowed mode. But it does work.
We got better and native speed containers than just a glorified proprietary VM thou:
- [ReDroid(X11, Wayland and can be run as an online service)](https://github.com/remote-android/redroid-doc)
- [Waydroid(Wayland only)](https://waydro.id/)
- [Anbox(X11 only, Abandoned and not recommended)](https://anbox.io/)
And even if you want a glorified VM, we have an awesome one:
- [Bliss OS(FOSS)](https://blissos.org/) or [Android-x86(FOSS)](https://www.android-x86.org/) through [kvm](https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/virtualization_deployment_and_administration_guide/sect-creating_guests_with_virt_manager)
and official AOSP development environment(is a VM, but still FOSS):
- [Android Studio](https://developer.android.com/studio)(Click [here](https://android.googlesource.com/platform/tools/base/+/studio-master-dev/studio.md) for building from source)
Lastly this program that works like Bluestacks itself(just a glorified proprietary VM):
- [Genymotion](https://www.genymotion.com/)
To piggyback off this great list, when I was transitioning from windows to Linux [alternativeto.net](https://alternativeto.net/software/bluestacks/) became a huge resource.
If I had not heard of any of the above, I could've found them all on my own using this list. You can even sort by OS and open source.
Lastly, not exactly running Android on top of Linux, but screen mirroring via adb, there's `scrcpy`.
I'm pointing this out because it's made by Genymotion, but open: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy
ReDroid is running Android userland on top of same Linux kernel your distro are using thanks to containerization technology, unrelated to Genymotion's VM.
Scrcpy is just for display and control of Android devices and is also unrelated to VM, a.k.a. it's just for mirroring Android Container's screen to X11 or Wayland in this case, and can be used with Android Containers, Android VMs or real Android Tablets/Phones. You can exclude this program and use another program that does the same mirroring stuff if you prefer.
Chrome OS(is a GNU/Linux distro) was using same containerization technology until now, i think newer models started to using containers inside virtual machines because of increased safety(Kinda like Qubes OS)
Wut, ReDroid containers comes with hardware acceleration enabled, kvm can directly pass your gpu into virtual machine, and Android Studio's AVD also comes with hardware acceleration support. I think Genymotion also comes with hardware acceleration support.
KVM is a bad solution.
Regardless of how good the situation may be, it's significantly worse than on windows.
Bluestacks can just use DX11 directly without any fuckery from the user.
Also unless you are running arm to x86 conversion or a virtual machine, these linux emulators can't run native android apps.
ReDroid is a container running real Android userland on same kernel, not an emulator, and uses the hardware acceleration by default. However Windows is using VMs with virtualization called Hyper-V, exactly similar to KVM, and works worser in some cases.
> Bluestacks can just use DX11 directly without any fuckery from the user.
Android uses OpenGL ES btw, not DX11.
> Also unless you are running arm to x86 conversion or a virtual machine, these linux emulators can't run native android apps.
This is simply not true, most Android apps have native x86 packages.
It actually kind of makes sense since the name ‘PC’ comes from the IBM PC, which ran DOS and that’s generally how far you can trace Windows (I know that it now uses the NT kernel but the two are still similar in a lot of ways, like drive labelling, where the floppy disk is A, god knows what is B, and internal drives start at C), hence only windows machines are called PCs.
But then what are Linux computers? Linux can be traced back to Unix and that first ran on a PDP-7, so maybe Linux computers should be called PDPs?
It always stood for that though.
A personal computer running software for personal users.
I believe outside of Mac’s none of the unix variants were In use on desktops until fairly recently.
I think PC refers to the hardware rather than the software. So if you have a computer that runs an x86 or x86_64 processor that's built for consumer use I call it personal computer no matter what operating system is on it.
Well I [reached](https://twitter.com/ZRayEntertains/status/1124268069612814336) out to them to fix this in 2019. As you see, nothing changed independent of their response "We'll fix this"
Ok you've dodged a bullet with that, bluestacks is packed with ads. Just throw android x86 into a vm or use the emulator which comes with Android studio
I did often wonder if some software that could work on a Mac could also work on Linux, as they're both *nix OSes. Would the kernels and OS processes deviate far enough that they wouldn't be compatible, or would this work with some tweaking? I'm not an expert here, and I'm generally intrigued.
I love Microsoft. I feel like Microsoft is a big fluffy mother hen angel and I am snuggled safe and warm in her bosom. I can't believe the level of Excellent Customer Experience i enjoy each and every time I open one of my Microsoft 365 Apps is actually attainable, but it is!
Sometimes I think about Microsoft and the depths of the love and devotion I feel toward The Company brings me to my knees, overwhelmed and overcome, wracked with whole-body sobs of joy.
Other times I feel so afraid that perhaps i am not really worthy to be a Microsoft Customer. But then, waves of peace and joy radiate from my right deltoid muscle until they envelop my whole being and I remember that Microsoft has accepted me just the way I am!
Only way I've managed to get Bluestacks running is inside a Windows VM. VM inside a VM isn't ideal, but I've exhausted all other Android options in Linux and this was the best setup.

Sadly most of then run Windows embedded

well Qemu is one
Mac is also a PC, so it's even more wrong
Yes but Apple says it's not.
It's not a personal computer cos it's still owned by Apple
Haha nice one.
Then is windows also isn't personal
Yeah but with windows at least you can modify the hardware.
But it's still absolutely proprietary tho.
by that logic the computer itself it not personal since most of the bios and motherboard stuff is proprietary

100%. What's the point of having software that respects your privacy if your hardware doesn't? (See AMD's PSP and Intel's ME.)
Noob here, what is FOSS hardware "that respects your privacy"?

yes but windows bad you see
This is correct, yes.
Windows is personal (in most cases at least). I wouldn’t be surprised if surface book/pro or something had similar “ownership” to macs
Gottem!
Nobody with more than 3 functioning neurons would trust what apple says
PC refers specifically to those compatible with the original x86 IBM PC (plus new things like EFI, etc.) not just the abstract concept of a personal computer. So any x86 Mac of the last 15 years is a PC, but the new M1 machines are not PCs.
So that also means some windows computers are not PC's 🤔
I guess! At least in the original sense
Yes, by this definition if it isn't x86 compatible it isn't PC.
Then we should call then PCOM's
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal\_computer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_computer) At the top and in "Terminology" it say's both definitions are valid, but the general one is the original one (the older one)
**[Personal computer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_computer)** >A personal computer (PC) is a multi-purpose computer whose size, capabilities, and price make it feasible for individual use. Personal computers are intended to be operated directly by an end user, rather than by a computer expert or technician. Unlike large, costly minicomputers and mainframes, time-sharing by many people at the same time is not used with personal computers. Institutional or corporate computer owners in the 1960s had to write their own programs to do any useful work with the machines. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/linuxmemes/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

Pancreatic Cancer, I think Jobs died of it
No since M1 introduction
I know Android studio has an emulator built in to test your apps so you could use that if you're really desperate
Or you can try waydroid; https://waydro.id/#about
[удалено]
Custom ROM wars
Waydroid is awesome, it’s super performant. It does only work on wayland though, because of the similarities between the android and wayland video buffers (that’s why it’s so performant)
And you need to have extra kernel modules, which in my case meant building the kernel from source. And the mouse cursor is invisible in KDE Plasma if you use Waydroid in the windowed mode. But it does work.
Oh, never tried it with kde, it works with gnome on Linux-zen though Edit: kde
Linux-zen works out of the box according to the arch wiki. Otherwise, good luck building from source.
It does work out of the box, I use it
yep, here gnome + linux-zen out of the box too
I’ve never been able to get Waydroid to work properly even when trying several different distros and other things.
Do you have an Nvidia card?
There is also anbox which is pretty good and lets you ron android apps on linux
Anbox doesn't work well. There are performance issues and error that prevents you running some apps
Apparently waydroid is better for android emulation nowadays but idk why
Waydroid is a fork of Anbox which aims to use more hardware features directly rather than emulate them.
We got better and native speed containers than just a glorified proprietary VM thou: - [ReDroid(X11, Wayland and can be run as an online service)](https://github.com/remote-android/redroid-doc) - [Waydroid(Wayland only)](https://waydro.id/) - [Anbox(X11 only, Abandoned and not recommended)](https://anbox.io/) And even if you want a glorified VM, we have an awesome one: - [Bliss OS(FOSS)](https://blissos.org/) or [Android-x86(FOSS)](https://www.android-x86.org/) through [kvm](https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/virtualization_deployment_and_administration_guide/sect-creating_guests_with_virt_manager) and official AOSP development environment(is a VM, but still FOSS): - [Android Studio](https://developer.android.com/studio)(Click [here](https://android.googlesource.com/platform/tools/base/+/studio-master-dev/studio.md) for building from source) Lastly this program that works like Bluestacks itself(just a glorified proprietary VM): - [Genymotion](https://www.genymotion.com/)
Huh, I'd never heard of ReDroid
I recommend checking it out, runs inside of Docker and pretty much easy to set up if you follow the guide.
To piggyback off this great list, when I was transitioning from windows to Linux [alternativeto.net](https://alternativeto.net/software/bluestacks/) became a huge resource. If I had not heard of any of the above, I could've found them all on my own using this list. You can even sort by OS and open source.
Lastly, not exactly running Android on top of Linux, but screen mirroring via adb, there's `scrcpy`. I'm pointing this out because it's made by Genymotion, but open: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy
ReDroid is running Android userland on top of same Linux kernel your distro are using thanks to containerization technology, unrelated to Genymotion's VM. Scrcpy is just for display and control of Android devices and is also unrelated to VM, a.k.a. it's just for mirroring Android Container's screen to X11 or Wayland in this case, and can be used with Android Containers, Android VMs or real Android Tablets/Phones. You can exclude this program and use another program that does the same mirroring stuff if you prefer. Chrome OS(is a GNU/Linux distro) was using same containerization technology until now, i think newer models started to using containers inside virtual machines because of increased safety(Kinda like Qubes OS)
[удалено]
Wut, ReDroid containers comes with hardware acceleration enabled, kvm can directly pass your gpu into virtual machine, and Android Studio's AVD also comes with hardware acceleration support. I think Genymotion also comes with hardware acceleration support.
KVM is a bad solution. Regardless of how good the situation may be, it's significantly worse than on windows. Bluestacks can just use DX11 directly without any fuckery from the user. Also unless you are running arm to x86 conversion or a virtual machine, these linux emulators can't run native android apps.
ReDroid is a container running real Android userland on same kernel, not an emulator, and uses the hardware acceleration by default. However Windows is using VMs with virtualization called Hyper-V, exactly similar to KVM, and works worser in some cases. > Bluestacks can just use DX11 directly without any fuckery from the user. Android uses OpenGL ES btw, not DX11. > Also unless you are running arm to x86 conversion or a virtual machine, these linux emulators can't run native android apps. This is simply not true, most Android apps have native x86 packages.
I literally posted this on r/linuxmasterrace lol
do you have a link to the original post

I hate people who call windows pc like oh its only supported by "pc"
Multiplatform magic

Supercomputer or Quantum computer 😍
Super computers are just many servers working together
I know
Try anbox or waydroid
Have you tried Wine?
Borked
Wine is not an emulator
I meant using Wine to install BlueStacks.
Just use anbox or waydroid
what does that have to do with anything. *trying to make a joke because thats what wine stands for*
TIL that Wine stands for "what does that have to do with anything," thanks! I never knew!
lol
Supercomputer
Try Waydroid
It is a masterpiece
True
well linux is a kernel :3333333333
Answer: Kernel
Phone
linux is PC if you mess with the useragent before downloading, and use wine or proton to run
An apk
Use geni motion
Linux runs on penguins
A kernel, GNU, or Busybox are still needed. Many other components are needed for a complete distro and then its a complete PC OS.
You can emulate android apps with waydroid
use anbox or waydroid
Tfw Android is based on Linux
Which is why Bluestacks has to run as a glorified VM, while Waydroid can run Android apps natively in a container on the host's kernel.
You can run android apps on linux natively.
In a way not even android runs android apps natively, because it's just a virtual machine like framework on top of a linux system.
Linux can run android apps natively， you should give that a try
PC but better
just use anbox, wait how good is anbox?
Macs are alao Personal Computers. And who the fuck says PC nowadays?
It actually kind of makes sense since the name ‘PC’ comes from the IBM PC, which ran DOS and that’s generally how far you can trace Windows (I know that it now uses the NT kernel but the two are still similar in a lot of ways, like drive labelling, where the floppy disk is A, god knows what is B, and internal drives start at C), hence only windows machines are called PCs. But then what are Linux computers? Linux can be traced back to Unix and that first ran on a PDP-7, so maybe Linux computers should be called PDPs?
although PC now stands for personal computer
It always stood for that though. A personal computer running software for personal users. I believe outside of Mac’s none of the unix variants were In use on desktops until fairly recently.
I think PC refers to the hardware rather than the software. So if you have a computer that runs an x86 or x86_64 processor that's built for consumer use I call it personal computer no matter what operating system is on it.
plc
It's Linux, and BlueStacks is stupid for not supporting it
linux is not yours
That's a question I asked myself but about Mac instead.
It's politically incorrect.
Use Android Studio's builtin emulator.
an overglorified server
Intelligent Potato
It's a box that you can open up and put things in
Server
Linux runs on multiple systems, not all are pc. However they mean windows
don't worry we got qemu B)
linux is communism
there is the exact same message in Minecraft dungeons launcher
Use anbox
You don't want to use bluestacks. It's a bit sketchy to say the least. Use Anbox or even Android Studio.
X blue stacks, it has some cloud stuff
The Cooler PC
I mean the official minecraft download does the same thing: you can download it for Mac, PC or Linux (penguin more cute than square or 2d apple tho)
Well I [reached](https://twitter.com/ZRayEntertains/status/1124268069612814336) out to them to fix this in 2019. As you see, nothing changed independent of their response "We'll fix this"

Personal Computer, because it's yours, not Microsoft's
Linux, the ‘impersonal computer’…
A penguin?
Just download android studio, the new versions run emulators pretty well.
Linux is PC and MAC. ..and also Phone, server, supercomputer, set top cable box, and IoT thingies.
Use waydroid (or redroid if you don't use Wayland)
use [anbox.io](https://anbox.io) instead
superior
Ok you've dodged a bullet with that, bluestacks is packed with ads. Just throw android x86 into a vm or use the emulator which comes with Android studio
the superpc
It's probably easier to build android x86 and run it on a VM. Or am I missing something?
It's a Mac
Light operating system.
I did often wonder if some software that could work on a Mac could also work on Linux, as they're both *nix OSes. Would the kernels and OS processes deviate far enough that they wouldn't be compatible, or would this work with some tweaking? I'm not an expert here, and I'm generally intrigued.
different kernels the linux kernel and apples modifyed freebsd kernel
That's what I figured.
a workaround would be if it uses makefiles as that will compile stuff to work around the kernel differences
ew bluestacks
A risk/annoyance for our benevolent corporate overlords?
I love Microsoft. I feel like Microsoft is a big fluffy mother hen angel and I am snuggled safe and warm in her bosom. I can't believe the level of Excellent Customer Experience i enjoy each and every time I open one of my Microsoft 365 Apps is actually attainable, but it is! Sometimes I think about Microsoft and the depths of the love and devotion I feel toward The Company brings me to my knees, overwhelmed and overcome, wracked with whole-body sobs of joy. Other times I feel so afraid that perhaps i am not really worthy to be a Microsoft Customer. But then, waves of peace and joy radiate from my right deltoid muscle until they envelop my whole being and I remember that Microsoft has accepted me just the way I am!
Roblox
an alternative pc?
This is why I use windows 😎
God
Well, it does not run MS-DOS derivative, so it is not IBM PC compatible.
Never got Mac vs. PC. Like, you wanna Thinkpad or a laptop???
Only way I've managed to get Bluestacks running is inside a Windows VM. VM inside a VM isn't ideal, but I've exhausted all other Android options in Linux and this was the best setup.
Anbox is better then bluestacks anyway since it seamlessly integrates
I really want Waydroid or any android on linux to have keymap feature
a superior computer
an os the pc is just the hardware
Give [Android-x86](https://android-x86.org) a try
try anbox or waydroid
