I already have Ansible to manage my system and I like to have the same base between my pc and my server build muscle memory.

If I was managing a pc fleet I would consider NixOS, but I don’t see the appeal right now.

You can save even more money by shutting down Atlassian and all its trash products

I am not saying you are. I am saying there are a lot of valid reasons and it is not as simple as “if I do it I am for it but when big bad company does it it is bad”.

I support piracy because I think:

• consolidation ruins concurrency
• I hate ads in services I pay for
• copyright laws kills creativity
• the USA is lobbying the entire world to adopt their view and fuck them
• those laws are there to benefit big companies and not individuals
• it is legal where I live because we pay state tax to have access to media

First they need to destroy your income, then they can make you do whatever they want

They don’t need an economy. They need obedient workers

Also, if criminals know they will be killed when caught, they have a decent incentive to not get caught alive.

Let’s figure it out. You take your little legs, go to Marseille - preferably in the north districts, and tell the youngs who live there if they are Bibi’s bitch. And please, stream it live (I’d recommend Kick as the content might quickly break Twitch TOS).

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.

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.

That’s why I asked you if we should base our actual opinions on what it meant. Because if we did, we could argue that the Nazi party is a left wing party and Communism is a Marxist regime, both of which are factually false.

So you always look at things with the “original” prism, or the actual meaning?

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.

Ok, the containers one is interesting. The other fortnine one lacks evidence.

Microsoft does not care about you, your computer or your licence. Microsoft cares about having a monopoly in business applications. By being the only player in this field, they ensure that they remain the (almost) only OS on personal computer. If your work uses Microsoft, your school will teach you Microsoft and you will more than likely buy a laptop to run Microsoft product. And they will collect everything.
