Right to repair laws, and the open hardware, and open source movements, are our best hope.

Yep. It's a terrible state of affairs from some many angles. Law makes need to wake up and see how badly the market is failing and then regulated.

It's something you see endless repeated. When there is no rules, you get the loudest, baddest, pieces of work, rise to the top and then set rules that favour them. Look over the world and history, where law and order has broke down, war/drug lords take over.

I lived in Holland for a bit, my Dutch colleagues told a story of the bus system. Holland tried a honor payment system, trusting people to pay what they needed to for their trip. It failed hard and was replaced with fair collectors my colleagues called "the bus Nazis".

The same thing happens with free speech absolutism. You hit "Paradox of tolerance".

Anarchy just doesn't work. You need rules for everyone to play nice by.

That exactly the house white goods in Cory Doctorow's "Unauthorized Bread".

GPL works again, though maybe not much useful to merge back from Trump Media....

Surely they just integrate tab tree. I've used it for years and feel lost without it. It's a very clear way of showing relationships between tabs.

Market share is only any kind of excuse for desktop. Linux dominates servers, routers, and any IOT big enough for a OS. This article is about servers.

For Linux you install unattended upgrades and security updates are done automatically.
