Iirc, it is 90%

I never saw it that way. With Linus creating his lab for serious technical reviews, it always felt like Steve’s hate for Linus was rooted in that. During the whole shitstorm around the Honey fiasco, he seemed to be mad at Linus for stopping working with Honey because Linus found out Honey were scummy? That’s when I gave up on Steve. Whatever he’s put out since, I haven’t seen. That’s why I was asking if he’s given up on his hate crusade because that’s exactly how it came across from the word go: Someone set out to take out a competitor.

Does he still have a hate boner for Linus?

Edit: it’s an honest question. I wrote off Steve for just stirring up YouTube drama.

I’d argue that the big 3 2 never recovered. Car design peaked in the 1920s and never recovered when the larger corps lobbied/wrote safety and fuel standards to force the mass consolidation of companies down to 3. Innovation slowed down so much and it is why China is going to eat our lunch through the transition to BEVs.

Cronyism is the system we have

I will now pronounce it as ex-bo-ex

It won’t stop them from trying though. Just look at what Bambu is doing.

I was refering to the US and UK and France. National problems have to be handled by nations. Like I told someone else in a different thread, I’m not your enemy here.

To ignore it is to give it more power to grow. The 1930’s proved ignoring it doesn’t make it go away

I’m a firm believer in know your enemy

I’m not defending it, it is just the reality we face for freedom. It is just their mentality and how they see things vs how the next person sees it or you see it or how I see it. I’m not your enemy here.

Easy access to other avenues is the first step in digital independence from an authoritarian family. It’s the same thing for minors getting access to birth control without ID or parental concent. So long as you gotta have a bank account and show ID to buy a phone, this is going to be a problem.

can everyone?

That’s a different question with all the laws passed since 9/11 revolving around random people being able to easily get a phone with no ID, no bank account, etc like they are going to the store to get a gallon of milk. The patriot act can die in a fire. If you want to affect change to make smuggling an unrestricted phone to someone in a cult, the patriot act has to go.

I never said it was right, it’s just thier mentality

Voluntary as in I can choose a different mobile operator.

draconian authoritarian dipshittery

So long as it is voluntary, I’m alright with it. Let people choose what’s best for themselves. If it attempts to get codified into law, that’s a different matter.

Right, but their mentality is that it is a disease. Also I think the saying “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” applies here.

The thought is it is the sick that need a doctor

Ruin windows search even more? I like your thinking
