Articles like this come off as glib. Aviation is a dreadful industry for all involved.
I don't understand when these companies are going to learn that sharing their IP is going to get them more money than being so fractured.
The risk equation makes sense. The potential gain from outlasting your competition and absorbing their subscriber bases to become a near-monopoly is higher than participating in a royalty scheme, and the downside is borne by shareholders and to a lesser extent creditors (the Other People's Money principle).
When government/corporate services are involved, I suggest doing as much as you can via the web browser as opposed to app, in the interests of privacy and civil liberty.
So long as it's going through the browser we have a degree of control over functionality and connectivity. Apps strip that away. Apps are you doing everything on their terms, while suffering an ad (their logo) on your home screen rent-free. You can pin browser bookmarks to home as well in Android.
All problems are user's own. Yes enshittification sucks. You're free to disconnect as much as you can.
Wrong attitude. Only atomization and further exploitation lies that way. The solution is to get vocal and demand higher standards.
Always cut out the intermediaries.
(I'm glad this story was published. We may roll our eyes, but it's a contribution toward raising normie's consciousness, which is welcome.)

I remember omitting a hardware decoding line from mpv.conf. But I'm still getting the issue occasionally (even though playback in most cases now is fine).
These breach incidents all serve to highlight the lack of a solution for patients that want to retain ownership (ie. exclusive control) over their data. Currently the only effective way to do that is a non-solution - by not interacting with the service at all.
Imagine there was one copy of your health information, and it was encrypted, and it lived on a server/flash drive/device under your control. In order to receive treatment, the provider has to access that source and request your permission or authenticate in some capacity. That would be an enduring, user-respecting solution that showed people that each loss of data was more than merely a publicity nightmare for the abetting company. Managing personal healthcare like this isn't for everyone, but it should be an option for patients with the means and inclination.
The fact that service providers neither want to co-operate with something like this, nor are required to by law, is a problem. There's currently no individual agency permitted whatsoever in this domain and I've been fed up with it for a long time.
The only axis the corporate world cares about is (quite literally) skin deep.
