    You know, Valves decision years ago investing into the Linux eco system and literally pumping millions of dollars into open source development, contributing, hiring the sole maintainers of stuff like dxvk and more.

    This brought Linux and especially the Linux desktop a lot further than without it.

    We all gained through it.

    And those new products are, like your Fairphone, designed with repairability and consumer rights in mind.

    You talk like Fairphone does earn nothing in their phone’s and their are not in it for the money. Well, bad news. They made 54.400.000€ euro net profit last year.

    So, go and stick your pseudo elitist behavior up your ass

      We all gain through a lot of things related to wealthy shitheads. I’m not against companies making money but we shouldn’t be bootlicking any billionaire.

        Billionaire fanboyism has got to be the stupidest most sheepish behaviour imaginable - possibly even worse than looking up to celebrities who are famous for being famous - because billionaires are literally hoarding money which could be way more useful to just about everybody else in the World.

        Mind you, at least before Elon’s Nazi Reveal people still had an excuse (if seriously flimsy and mainly self-deluded, considering his earlier “tunnel submarine pedo comments” bullshit), but at this point everybody into Tech should’ve already learned the lesson.
