Intel vs AMD… but x86 sucks; spectre and the like, power hungry ornate designs

Apple vs Windows… closed source and otherwise encumbered

Android vs iOS… App Store pay to play, restricted or 100% closed in iOS’ case

As “systems” your choices of “best” come with numerous drawbacks

Sorry, the point I wanted to make was that without competition, companies have little incentive to improve their products. Sure, Linux rules, the Motorola 68000 was nicer than x86, Beta beat VHS, … in a perfect world,…

Linux… on the contrary I think it sucks

We have yet to make a technology that will stand the test of time; Linux is not what humans will use in another 100 years.

Even with competition look at the music industry and content industry churning out piles of shovelware expecting billion dollar box office and massive reach because “that’s how it works”.

It’s not competition that drive’s innovation but public acceptance. Linux sucks for the same reasons the other things suck; nostalgia.

“The market”, us, is accepting rehashes of the same old shit. That’s antithetical to competition; where’s the competition for 32 hour work weeks and universal healthcare that works; mired in economic theory that coincidentally empowers a minority of billionaires we all complain about.

What competition when it’s all “sit still, carry on maintenance value stores of yesteryear.”

I refuse to put on myself obligation to memorize Bloomberg is rich. They’re each just one meat based cassette tape equivocating from memory why I should kowtow to their fiat wealth through narrative I never witnessed take place.

Where’s the real competition in ideas; the old ought to be ingratiating themselves on the youth for obvious reasons rather than the inverse of forcing us to prop them up.
