| >I can see this hurting traditional Linux graphics systems and development tooling, but I think the main dynamic driving this is not proprietary-vs-open, it's Microsoft's ability to coordinate large numbers of developers, because they have a massively more united org than random hobbyists. As one of the people using this wonderful free technology, I would like to actively state that I will fight MS and any other Tech provider remotely involved in destroying my most productive way of working, and trying to supplant me back into a machine that sells only advertising.
I didn't pay for a machine to sell me advertising. "Oh you can disable ads".
Why should I need to? On that note:
>"If you combined all of the efforts of all of the people working on Linux tools for the past 20 years and got them working on the same thing," Why don't all car manufacturers focus on the same thing? Why is there more than one company for anything then? Shouldn't the government just run everything then? Who needs competition and a free market? But, really, the reason we all know deep down inside is: Because if we did that we would end up with Microsoft, a company that builds AI to find novel ways of forcing you to interact with advertising, somewhat akin to a Black Mirror episode. |
