Imagine hacking these and blowing up the tiny capacitors and blinding somebody for life.

After he chewed out Intel for making such shitty CPUs, he was unceremonsiously removed from his position and sent away for a full month of re-education at an undisclosed location. This was shortly after Spectre and Meltdown became public. Feel free to read more about it!

Do you know what Unix is or the C programming language? Your bafflement is entirely baffling. OpenBSD is never switching to Rust or Go or any of the new fad languages, so why not use libc? It’s the Unix way after all.

The advantage of Theo being dictator is that big companies can’t take over like they did with Linux.

They made their FFS 64-bit. That’s what you get. And FFS is THE standard.

In short no. Also they removed softupdates, code was old and slow and was holding back the quest to unlock.

This is grandstanding, there's no way to enforce how people or machines dispose with the data you put on the Internet. No enforcement mechanism, no chain of responsibility. It's literally FREE data. And this extends to photographs, drawings, music, code, prose, poetry, and all of the human generated content which IS being used by everybody from search engines (Google never asks permission) to AI companies, to cyber criminals and overreaching security theater weirdos in government. All of them can do whatever they like with whatever they find.

Don't like it? Don't put your data on the Internet, or use a mobile device near a conversation you'd rather keep private. No amount of regulation will ever stop any of this.

Google Docs is just flat out terrible. It's also highly insecure - imagine trusting an ad company with your governmental information.

Nah, they reject insect food. Have you ever been physically forced to eat bugs? We can change that!

Well, it's not open source, it's not open to the public, they're not open with what they're doing or what their goals are. It's just a word like wuzzle or fibblefobble. Or google.
