“We have all this hardware and no consumers because businesses just buy up the competition who were using us, and fire the workers. We need to sell it, but to who? All corporate entities who aren’t dying already picked a cloud provider landlord. We own the enterprise market. Who else can we rent seek from?”

Your democrats and republicans are going to cross the aisle to help these guys own your hardware and operating systems. They are already killing open source 3d printers in new york for ‘gun safety’ purposes. Democrats and republicans crossing that aisle certainly is for the benefit of the people and not corporations who will create the software that can’t print 3d guns. This, but for computers is next.

“Owning your operating system is for protecting children! We don’t want them printing guns or talking to strangers online!”
