linux is the anarchist approach to an OS, while the ML position would be to nationalize microsoft. Either way bill gates has an appointment at central park.

      I mean if we just collectively all threw Windows in the trash and decided that everything had to work on Linux then like 99% of the problems would be solved anyway because most of the problems are "this thing was designed to work with Windows and doesn't work right with Linux"

      Or when we nationalize Apple, have them fix Linux to be usable by normal people (this wouldn't even be that hard for them, all it would take is a good UI for changing various settings). Then start porting stuff and writing new stuff for Linux.

      The way Apple sucks is easily reversible. They have good development practices, don't accept spaghetti the way almost everyone else does. The hardware they design is generally very good, except that it is intentionally crippled to make more money selling you solutions to the problems they created. It's also generally out of date compared to everyone else, but it's out of date because they wait for the tech to be a little more mature before adopting it, which is a good practice imo.

      The software problems they have are all created by trying to milk more money out of people, and occasionally relying on third party developers to not do stupid things when obviously they are going to do stupid things.

      We should make communism be when everyone has iPhone, and iPhones also don't suck.
