There’s also FOSSCAD.io instance and fosscad boards at .ml and .world

The examples you’ve given are of a regulatory system that has been captured by private interests.

All regulatory systems are captured by some interest whether it be private corporations to

These are the interests that need regulation, they have turned on its face a system that is meant to protect the people from them and are using it to protect themselves from consequences of their own exploitation. Regulation isn’t exploitation by default.

Hard disagree. Regulation by it’s design is meant to change something and with that change something will be made to have a disadvantage.

Exploitation happens when regulation is written in ways that entrench incumbents or erode civil liberties.

That’s what regulations do.

The solution is not to get rid of all regulation,

It is the only fair thing to do, all other options are about trying to create equity and usually failing at best and making it worse.

it’s regulation that constrains power rather than concentrating it.

Not in practice. This isn’t a recent history thing either.

Your examples are a symptom of what is wrong with the current system, not a demonstration of its function.

Ignoring reality doesn’t make thing right though.

And I’m telling you that this is done via regulation and not just naturally and isolated by corporations alone. Regulation is exploitation in practice.

Doesn’t change the fact that exploitation is being done by the hand of regulation.

You don’t think that regulation won’t be exploited? It’s how the safety and environmental regulations drove all car manufacturing into 3 companies here in the USA. Bigger companies pushed for the regulations because they could withstand the change to force their competition out of the market.

One OS monopoly in my lifetime was already bad enough, I’ll pass on having another.

You cool with Colorado’s proposed OS level age verification?

I think Occam’s razor applies more here; The simplest explanation is often the correct one. Why does a multi-billion corp ship a broken update? Even if testing is on the back burner, profit margins are the ultimate reason. Less testing to save money or intentionally busted to force upgrades to make more money.

At this point I just want Linux driver support from manufacturers and let the community handle features.

Or more devious, intentionally bricking the phone to push more people to upgrade. You know those mandatory updates for 7-8 years aren’t popular with manufacturers.

I also want to know what hurdles Google is putting in front of the GrapheneOS guys until I can get a Linux phone replacement.

Ease of use for steam big picture mode on TVs. It is one of the problems I’ve been meaning to find a solution for when I build my media center TV to make things easier for my not nearly as tech savvy wife and kids.

yup, it’s the same playbook Apple had in the 80’s and 90’s. Get them into schools and get everyone used to their ecosystem so they would buy their products after graduating. Bill Gates did the same thing in the 90’s to outfit computer labs in schools with a bunch of Dell computers.

How did they handle the Canadian teams cheating in curling?

🎶It’s the ciiiiiiircle of slooooooooop🎶

Yeah, 3 and 4 were amazing. And 3 has Trevor Belmont, Sypha, and Alucard. I always assumed Netflix Castlevania was based on that.

I was almost certain this would be the most vaporware of hardware vaporware.

This is just a play out of the rules for radicals playbook: accuse others of what you are doing.

In this case it’s probably both until observed.
