> Does Apple also have a monopoly on writing the OS that runs on iPhones? Yes, of course. But I think the issue might be the extent to which this is an artificial monopoly, rather than a natural one.

If the people's needs aren't being served by the existing media, part of the 'free' bit of 'free press' is the fact that anyone can be a journalist. They can research, write and publish stories to fill any gap.

The fact that I can point at both colleagues and strangers on the internet with the same issues makes me think it's actually just crap software that doesn't work.

I think it's bad advice, but not necessarily for the same reason. For the simple case of "I want to distribute a binary", there are far easier ways to make a deb - I use FPM, but there are other tools that will also do it in
