I thought it was amusing that you said Apple was a "stupid American company with American values", even though you're actually complaining about a UK law. You do know this isn't a thing in the US, right? Just your country?

Is there a way to resize windows with this gesture as well?

> we use taxes as a process to crowdsource funding more effectively

Effectively? It doesn't seem to me like most western governments allocate this funding "effectively" at all. How do we increase the accountability?

Actually, the description of that video says the production line was in Hungary.

But there was still a lot of electronics manufacturing and assembly in the US during the early 2000's as well, including iPods and iMacs.

You don’t need politicians to help you keep your personal data to yourself.

Why do European government websites do the same thing then? They’re also spreading propaganda?

100% true. Same for video games—an individual has never had more power to compete in the video game market against the megacorps.

I think we'll soon see a suburban mom in middle America with a part-time penchant for storytelling make a blockbuster video game mostly by herself.

I don't understand, why is it not enough to just... use free software? Why must the government be involved at all?

They still exist, and are really fun! I'm part of a community that has a webring and a Mastodon instance: https://webring.xxiivv.com/

I don't think anyone sees them as competitors, in fact that's exactly my point. I think the Vulkan/Mantle/Metal developers all had the same idea.

Metal predates Vulkan by over a year. Vulkan probably wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for Metal.

This seems like something everybody wants but I’m surprised it hasn’t happened yet. What are some of the (assumingly non-technical) challenges in such an enterprise?

I'm sure those aren't the only reasons. Quite a lot of people get away with tax fraud. If the IRS really knew everything and filing taxes was just a pointless exercise, why is fraud so prevalent?

Many books on Kobo also have DRM unfortunately.
