Go ahead. Free Software has no obligation to satisfy the criteria of FAANG's business units, I'd actually find it quite funny to hear the litany of complaints you've compiled for a group of people that barely knows you exist.

It's been two weeks. If Trump's second administration is anything like his first, he'll have his executive orders rescinded the second his butt leaves the seat and both sides will start sharpening their knives. We'll be

Situation: We trust the government to publish a transparent budget to 14 different auditors "14?! What a waste of time! We need to develop one universal ledger so the government can never lie to us again!" [Soon] Situation: We t

I think the bigger insult towards the Open Source community is their refusal to publish Free Software on the App Store.

They don't embrace Open Source, that's the problem. I don't even have to invoke the Halloween Documents to erode faith in FAANG as an Open Source steward, half this thread retched at the idea of using Swift out of principle.

I highly doubt adults use "instinct" as an accessory to the scientific method.

Imagine how much less competitive America's economy would be if we weren't legally mandating our own apps and services. It's about freedom and fairness, really!

We've been pretending for a while, now. We pretended Facebook was acceptable for democracy even after the fallout of Cambridge Analytica. We pretended Google wasn't abusing us with AdSense because none of us users saw the harm. We

Labor shortages don't exist. Every empty seat can be filled with attractive compensation until your unemployment rate hits zero. Labor competition has only one constraining factor, and it's name is money. The correlation of compen

I have no idea why China would bother implimenting EULV techniques when they can import it at-cost. America didn't bother either, and when we did realize we had to care, we just bribed TSMC to break ground on US soil. Arguably Europe

Wayland has had 1:1 trackpad gestures as the default for years. I know this because I've been daily-driving Linux (both KDE and GNOME) with a Magic Trackpad for years now, and the experience out-of-box is better than my Mac. In fact, I

Okay, but that's still conjecture. Furthermore, antitrust regulation isn't about remediating the harms between users and businesses, but rather the harm to the economy that arises from a lack of competition. Explorer, the App Stor

Looking at Apple's history in the field, it kinda makes perfect sense. They were not prepared for the seismic shift that AI was heading towards, and the hype for LLMs proved how wasted Apple's efforts were on NPU hardware. Their G

It's a bit like asking whether road signs are effective for Americans who can't read. The signs are there for the people that are using the road, and if you're not using the road you can safely ignore it.

If they do believe that, I'd have to wonder why. Having people that don't look like you or disagree with you on school boards and in military service doesn't mean you've been "infiltrated" by an adversary. Libe
