hear hear!

true true. good point

Ah yes, cos that would lead to stellar leadership in Mozilla.

Tannenbaum is fucking asshole. Isn’t he the idiot that told Torvalds “you certainly would have failed my class if you submitted your OS as a final project?”

The guy deserves no respect.

Thank goodness.

It is not that simple. These are cat and mouse games. Whack a mole. Whatever you’d like to say.

For this reason, we must still take a stand against this stuff.

I like Mastadon. Farwss drama than on Lemmy (or Twitter).

Yeah… I only use Debian server side. Despite it’s flaws I’d say Ubuntu is the better desktop option if you don’t want to go down the whole Arch route.

So he’s right about two things.

Yeah in the presentation of it was clearly idiotic. I often wonder how seriously these silicon valley people actually take themselves privately.

I don’t totally agree but you’re definitely onto something there. I will absolutely never be simpathetic to that vision, but you’re right that Apple knows their audience.

Honestly I’d be truly thrilled if they were merely forced to open up iMessage. I’d be a huge quality of life improvent for people who don’t want to daily drive an iPhone but have to keep in contact with Americans.

And for those living in the US with Androids.

They’re fucking themselves. In the EU the EU, not the US, is sovereign. Apple has to follow EU rules, but again, only with the EU.

It doesn’t, the poster just doesn’t like Apple (neither do I) and those are apparently magic words for “stop this company I don’t like.”

Ugh… I mean, they could, but the fact is I guarentee you many members of the EU commission and parliament themselves use these products, and they are popular in the EU, just not as overwhelmingly so as in the US. Ultimately, that wouldn’t really fly in a democracy and, as much as I may hate apple, for good reasons.

Yeah, I don’t think they read the article… Sovereignty only applies, well, in the bloc or nation.

Their silicon is really good. I’d argue it is mostly because they have a node advantage but it is what it is.

But especially in the MacBook Air it can only really show off its stuff in the short-bursty workloads of casual users (and Geekbench). My four-year-old PC would pull ahead quite quickly on any task when you actually have to run it at load for a while.

Sure or a phone.
