Funny how we’re on the opposite end ecosystem wise now, and it’s just down to getting fed up with the systems I chose to use getting worse in eleven different ways after I move base. At least from Crapple, their bullshit was established from day one. No rugpulling from them (much).

Sadly this is a common tactic from companies. You embrace open source to get the early adopters. This also gets the OEMs using your software cuz it's free and they can customise it for their services and design etc. Once you become established you have more leverage so you rugpull everyone who got you there and turn it into a closed ecosystem. We really need truly open hardware.

The larger issue is subversive decay of an organization and its numerous projects, primarily that which is politically and ideologically driven; the active dismantling of meritocratic stability in the name of ideology has so thoroughly affected software and even services I’ve used that it pushed me back to what I had once eschewed in name of it, simply because there’s a level of expected bullshit to things you know suck, rather then the sudden onset of it appearing where you figured it’d be above. I went on that screed with you already, so I won’t repeat it here; I’ll simply reiterate the fact that I don’t at all enjoy using iOS on the mobile side or Windows (via Atlas) on the desktop side, but there’s expected suckage to both I do my best to somewhat mitigate. Can’t wait to have fully compatible BSD hardware, man.
