Ah yes gender politics, only thing missing from Star Trek themed discussion.

The point is; he wants a Framework-like approach to modularity and feature set. That means a phone that's good enough to actually holds its own without retreating to being "ethical" or "modular."

Fairphone is just the worst deal you can get even if you consider the ethical side of it. This is because rescuing an old phone gives you a much better experience for less than half the cost and keeping tech from the landfill is a lot more ecologically friendly as the work and sourcing was already done regardless of you purchasing the device.

back-to-back lying to the public

What?

sexual harassment debacles

... that none of which ended up in the court let alone confirmed. That's an allegation, not something proven.

They've been sleazy for years, taking money from companies they claim to review impartially, and twisting everything into a meme factory instead of putting the tiniest amount of effort into quality reviews and tech journalism.

Straight up one of the points GN made. Which they really did improve upon. They don't pump out as much content now, as well as generally higher quality content again.

salvage his reputation after covering up toxic and predatory workplace behaviour

:D

coming out the other side a multimillionaire.

Guy created and ran a YouTube channel, expanded it to be a media company. Hosts a forum, sells high quality merchandise (you can look up the coverage of their bag or screwdrivers from places like project farm). Also runs a premium video hosting and live streaming service for creators. That's what we call "earned it."

This comment just reeks of toxicity, rather than criticism.

This was the pipe dream for many many years now. Not the first time MS is talking about it either.

It's a thing in the Linux world and it's just too costly to support and therefore most user facing distros outright don't support it.

A lot worse. Was tired of the [removed] trope whenever mods did something incredibly stupid.

What? These things are not related to each other by a good margin. In fact, since the FOSS is completely orderless, it goes against communism; which requires some sort of order just to be able to function. But either way, the parallel is not there or questionable at best, not to mention irrelevant.

Can we NOT drag useless politics into FOSS?

Dune has one of the most complex (and necessarily logical) universe in it. I'm not surprised every reader found different themes more fitting.

This logic barely works. We're also the first civilization in the planets history, so we don't have a point of reference.
