It would only be fair. But who cares? There was enough material before already. USA is ridiculous in its own ways, just like any nation. But they never had any sort of moral superiority, not when they enslaved all African Americans, attacked Mexico, invaded Puerto Rico, nuked Japan, bombed Germany, Korea and Vietnam, sabotaged Cuba, ruined South American democracies, supplied arms to Afghan religious fundamentalists, conquered Afghanistan, dismantled Iraq and Middle Eastern stability, aided Israel in the systematic displacement of Palestinians. This is just another low.

Funny way to misspell vim

A bug it is not, a feature it is.

It’s not allowed with books

Have you ever heard of the mysterious places called “libraries”? IA does not “republish” anything, it is an archive.

One of 8.22% 🥰

In what world are you living where 10 A is on the low side for general-purpose electronics?

Yep, for better or worse, Intel is pretty much the only remaining Western “bleeding-edge” CPU designer manufacturing its products in its own fabs. I find it weird that so many people seem to root for Intel to fail.

Unix is literally the most important operating system (specification) family on the planet. Even bigger than M$ Windows. You’ve got all the Android phones, all the Apple iPhones, macOS, FreeBSD and all the GNU/Linux distributions. Unix-like installed base is by far the largest of any on the planet.

Yep. They tried desperately to build up an IT economy and for that wanted to appease all the tech companies.

But that is not the comparison they drew, and you know that.

Dumbed down hardware? No, the hardware of smartphones is very impressive. It is the software that is dumbed down in the sense that it takes control away from the user or operator.

How did any generation not grow up with the technology as it evolved? Gen X did not invent computers, nor did the Boomers, but every generation made valuable contributions, just as Gen Z will. Again, it is the actions and ideas of gifted individuals that count.

Not a very enlightened take. As @nednobbins@lemm.ee correctly put it, tech savviness is the property of an individual and not of a generation. There are non-savvy Zoomers, just as there are non-savvy people from your generation.

Whoa the disrespect. The way she threw away C++ haha

Also, the whole thing was next-level cringe

This must be irony. I cannot be certain because you doubled down on it

Okay pal. Judging from your comment history, you seem to be a very belligerent person. Maybe it is time for reflection? Maybe it’s not always the others that are stupid? Maybe it’s not always you that has the “moral high ground”?

So take your pompous attitude and choke on it.

See how your blatant and baseless assumption falls apart? Idiot.

So sick of you Linux clowning fanboys parading your free advertising.

No, but through the existence of both options, you can get more plurality than by using one individual option.

In theory, but how many governments can actually be held accountable? The power imbalance is often too great for the people to hold anyone accountable. In many countries, the system is rigged.

Maybe they could? After all, these things were built.

GPL enforcement has, in fact, been very successful so far. I recommend this Wikipedia entry.

And then there is the very successful lawsuit from the Software Freedom Conservancy against Vizio.
