A company in Europe has to respect patents. Same for a company in the USA. Not a company in China. Of course this has an impact. Failing to grasp this is at best naive at worst purposefully misleading.

We should be critical of our manufacturers but we should also not forget China is basically getting its R&D for free by stealing tech from everybody (all do, but some more than others).

How do you want to do this? Linux is a kernel the world relies on. It powers your car, your fridge, your satellite, your phone, the entire Internet, the army, etc. Nothing comes close to Linux in market share. The distros are built upon the kernel. System76 may have to comply, but the other maintainers don’t give a flying fuck. They could even write a small line somewhere on their repo that says “this distro is not allowed in California” and call it a day.

I hope people don’t feel superior because they use a tool.

If we want GOS to grow, we need to welcome and help people understanding the differences. We don’t need to be pedantic schmucks.

No, I don’t think this is correct. There was a time during which Google did great things. Their search engine allowed millions if not billions to gain access to knowledge. They had a positive impact on a lot of FOSS projects. What they were is not what they are.

Quick reminder that anthropic CEO praised Trump for his AI plans. Anthropic also created an organization to help elect politicians that favor them and their business.

A broken clock and all that.

No but you don’t get it. AI is such an amazing tool, it can do everything and replace everyone. Did you try my new model yet? It’s blazing fast and can tell you to drive to the car wash to clean your car. It’s will revolutionize the world

I use salt as a a weed killer in some specific area. So I guess I know, at least a little bit

I need a shit ton of salt in winter for my road. But for how long?

Thank you. Yeah, I can be pretty confrontational sometimes.

I wish you a nice day. See you around!

I hope this is satire.

Ho, so because it’s been like that, it’s ok?

Edit: don’t even bother answering, you’re a clown.

Already done and don’t assume nothing of me.

No, you cannot say that Valve is a shitty company. And your entire post is trying to make it sound like saying it is an extremist point of view.

Now I’ll wait for you to apologize and and acknowledge you did not have any idea of what you were talking about before commenting. I’ll let you throw day, so you can go through the entire series.

Wtf is wrong with you, lot? It seems like when you say “valve is a shitty company” is the equivalent of saying “gaben is evil incarnate and eats baby for breakfast”.

I’m starting to get sick of red pilled people commenting here saying it is an extremist view to say that a company is shitty because they have shitty practices. I’m done responding if that’s your comment, so spare us both time. All you’re doing is either purposefully misinterpreting my comment or acting like fan boys.

It’s not difficult or controversial. Does valve make some good things? Yes. Do they make shitty things? Yes. Not hard.

Plus, I truly think most of the people here are completely ignorant of the issue and should probably look into Coffeezilla series before commenting.

Answer the question.
