  1. They are doing better on this front than people realize. Lithography is an ancient and out of date technology and will be replaced soon and then the only thing that currently holds them and others back is gone and you will have very advanced stuff possible. If you can call 28nm outdated, it is more than good enough for advanced computing and servers (especially on a risc architecture) just not gaming. But I welcome a hard fork after the current nonsense. I would much rather be spied on by another country than my own plus corporations, especially as the politics here become more and more of a problem.

  2.  @retrocomputing  oh, what will they do to me on my machine ion america and with open source code? It is laughable how people worry about being oppressed by some guy a million miles away when you are already oppressed in your own country

  3. He is getting old anyway, and so is everyone else reasonable. We will have someone like devault running things after he is gone and then it will not be trustworthy and probably won't work that well. It is already much less stable than 25 years ago when I first used it

  4. WOW what insanity.

  5. He can at least protest and take then to court then lose. Instead he says a whole country is evil and that 'free' software is totally government owned.

  6. Why fork a piece of garbage

  7.  @scaJoshuaBrown  There is no reason to think they will have any more than us, but it is naive to thinkt here are no backdoors. COPS bug just closed plus IPv6 bug that's never closed means that whoever put that in there has been able to instahack any machine for decades.

  9.  @ultrmnml1219  In the most blue states you straight up can't get anything unless you are LE. You will also be debanked if you make those kind of statements here and get famous enough. Even people with a small channel like mine have been. I have a channel and have had videos blocked and demonitized over the stupidest things. There is only a fantasy or free speech and if you put it on your own website it will be unseen and post what they don't like and it's daily fines of hundreds of thousands. They just have propaganda there is freedom here but there is very little any more and won't be any for much longer.

  10.  @MnemonicCarrier  He's oppressed because he can't tear down the patriarchy and give cats the vote, like all these wackos.

  11. Desktop was great with suse and gnome in very early 2000s and only now is it kind of as good but much less stable.

  12. Probably the real reason for this, they don't want security or privacy they want instant access and blackmail.
