A company in Europe has to respect patents. Same for a company in the USA. Not a company in China. Of course this has an impact. Failing to grasp this is at best naive at worst purposefully misleading.

We should be critical of our manufacturers but we should also not forget China is basically getting its R&D for free by stealing tech from everybody (all do, but some more than others).

How do you want to do this? Linux is a kernel the world relies on. It powers your car, your fridge, your satellite, your phone, the entire Internet, the army, etc. Nothing comes close to Linux in market share. The distros are built upon the kernel. System76 may have to comply, but the other maintainers don’t give a flying fuck. They could even write a small line somewhere on their repo that says “this distro is not allowed in California” and call it a day.

Nobody’s complaining about his death here. But everybody should be worried about this new trend of Trump deciding who’s deemed fit to rule and who’s not.

I hope people don’t feel superior because they use a tool.

If we want GOS to grow, we need to welcome and help people understanding the differences. We don’t need to be pedantic schmucks.

No, I don’t think this is correct. There was a time during which Google did great things. Their search engine allowed millions if not billions to gain access to knowledge. They had a positive impact on a lot of FOSS projects. What they were is not what they are.

Quick reminder that anthropic CEO praised Trump for his AI plans. Anthropic also created an organization to help elect politicians that favor them and their business.

A broken clock and all that.

You spelled a lifelong experience of bending forward without complaining wrong.

You could make an argument that if a song is listened a lot, it means a lot of people find it good and thus is could not be bad. But then again, Suicide Squad was a successful movie if you were to base your judgement on popularity.

No but you don’t get it. AI is such an amazing tool, it can do everything and replace everyone. Did you try my new model yet? It’s blazing fast and can tell you to drive to the car wash to clean your car. It’s will revolutionize the world

I use salt as a a weed killer in some specific area. So I guess I know, at least a little bit

I need a shit ton of salt in winter for my road. But for how long?

Thank you. Yeah, I can be pretty confrontational sometimes.

I wish you a nice day. See you around!

I hope this is satire.

Answer the question.

Do you consider that it is morally acceptable to push thousands of kids into gambling addiction because you are doing more than Microsoft for Linux in the gaming world?

So it’s ok for you to have 10 years old developing a gambling habit and potentially ruining their live, because hey they are pushing Linux in gaming?

… Spoiler for you, but Valve is a shitty company.

Edit: whoosh the fanbois are out there! We don’t share the same value if you think it’s ok for 10 years old to become gambling addicts because of Valve’s practices.

I deleted my Reddit account because it is increasingly becoming an echo chamber cesspool of extreme centrism. I was hoping Lemmy would be somehow better with people more prone to discuss. Ho, well
