If you believe in the ideal of open specifications, it is something that you root for. Probably at least half the desire for dominance is coming from that motivation. The other half from normal profit motive. I guarantee that Intel and Qualcomm have the same aspirations of dominance.
- klelatti 4y agoI have to admit that I was a bit taken aback by that section. I don't think I've heard an open source software project (even linux) articulate a desire to dominate other projects. The principle of open source yes, but not a particular implementation. Also an ISA is quite different to a networking protocol where inter-operability is key.
- nwah1 4y agoI have seen a desire for dominance from Linux and Android users. From Rust users. From Typescript users. And from Gnome and KDE users. The developers generally don't feed into the "flame wars" but it is a long tradition in the open source world to pick a piece of software and viciously attack the merits and users of competing software. This also happens with users of proprietary software, as with Apple cultists and so on. It is just human nature.
