The Rpi foundation appears to be at step #2. "Business customers" here has an odd definition given Rpi's business model, but I feel the overall concept still applies.
- freedomben 3y agoApologies, it probably did seem like I was lumping your comment in with my general criticism of misuse, but I didn't intend that! But also, thank you for clarifying. I very much agree! This seems like exactly the path to enshittification and I hope that a competitor can come with RISC-V soon.
