I was just continuing the “face kick” analogy. Continue focusing on what’s unimportant if you want to be looked at like a fool.
For reference, if the field of technology had the walled garden concept and mass advertising propaganda available when x86 spread, you wouldn’t have an open pc either. We’re just fortunate to have escaped that reality (for now).
Imagine all of the technology we would have lost when the “education” we allow children to have on engineering/science requires a $100/yr subscription to even push buttons, and only select corporations are allowed to design or extend the capabilities behind multi-thousand dollar access restrictions. Innovation and society crippled to protect profits and control.
You not caring doesn’t negate the massive societal harm. Stop making personal attacks on a subject you’re clearly wrong about. That’s called shilling.
