They were prosecuted for money laundering.

The problem is that the legal punishment was too mild. The CEO spent 4 months in a luxury prison for white collar criminals. Basically a social club for the rich.

So now he is doing the same thing all over again.

How are Boeing planes?

After multiple plane crashes and 700 deaths, the CEO was rewarded with $33 million dollars:

If you crash several planes in China, you face death penalty.

Recently, a factory exploded in Tianjin. At least 20 people were hanged. The owner of the factory, the director of the factory, the managers of the factory, the city safety inspectors. That’s the Chinese quality insurance system. This is how they keep businessmen in check.

Fair enough.

I think hardware companies should make money selling devices. They should be banned from jailing their users in a locked proprietary ecosystem.

The Xbox doesn’t have the majority of the gaming market.

The smartphone market is basically a duopoly.

Imagine if Microsoft banned Windows users from downloading software outside the Microsoft store.

Imagine if Microsoft required all Software developers to give them 30% of their income or be banned from Windows

This is nothing but pure extortion.

Thank god for the EU, which forced Apple to back down:

Fortnite, one of the world’s biggest video games, is available as an iPhone app for the first time in four years. However, it will only be available to players in the European Union. This is because EU law requires Apple to allow third-party app stores on its devices - other parts of the world do not have comparable legislation. The game was removed from the App Store in 2020 following a payments row between Apple and Epic.

As for canadians/americans, they are in jail.

Imagine your friend in Europe sends you a phone invite to play .

-“Oh. I’m sorry but I am not allowed to do that 😢”

Installing Linux was a good decision.

I have not gone back to Microsoft Windows.

Don’t listen to people telling you it’s hard. I don’t have any IT degree or engineering degree

Installing it was easy. Linux is elegant, secure and powerful. I love it.

To be clear. This is a government agency endorsing the software as safe and effective. So bureaucrats and employees can’t be reprimanded if they use them.

This isn’t the French Prime Minister announcing the country will cancel Microsoft Office subscriptions and build a fund to support FOSS projects. GIMP has nowhere near the ressources they actually need.
