Sure he/she (rsilvergun) is a douche... but in this instance the article does say the discord board was about labor and organized labor.

The AI chips limitations for China went live in October 7, 2022. It shouldn't be lost on you who was the actual president at that time. HINT it was not Trump. Please keep willful ignorance on BlueSky or wherever it is your echo chamber fellates themselves.

I think this may have something to do with their low end laptop that was recently revealed. Perhaps it is limited to installing applications in the app store? A way to bring more profit to a lower profit laptop.

Apple does advertising. They track your spending your location the articles you read and more. If they only monetize it a little, they are still storing and collecting your data.

Of course it will be stunted by RAM limitations and storage limitations and screen resolution. It will be a miracle if it handles multiple tabs of browsing in a non gimped browser (non stripped down safari). Which is the single task that a Chromebook does well.

openDesk for Public Administration looks to me like it is a proprietary layer on top of Open Source software. The community edition is free and can be run in Kubernetes. The Public Administration version seems that it is not free and open and requires their paid service. None of this is free. They did not develop the code. Is this a big win for Open Source? Hardly. This is just another business that markets to a niche and is humping the leg of Open Source for profit. Many companies use OpenSource in closed ways, why is this any different?

I agree with you. If Steve Jobs and Tim Cook knew what to do with Apple TV they wouldn't have called it a hobby project for nearly a decade. Maybe they were still gun shy after the major failure of the Pippen.

They were also late to search, they were late to mobile, they were late to streaming (YouTube), they were late to gaming, and have 'gone all in' on each of these including security. M$ is all in on whatever will shift their stock pricing in words only.

The process of teaching a person or group to accept a set of beliefs uncritically.

You are not alone.

Exactly my first thought too. This was thinly veiled ageism.
