Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
We can nitpick specific examples for everything you want, and we will be correct, but that detracts from the point that Gabe has helped to build things that took decades of slowly getting anywhere.
Not sure exactly what you’re trying to say here but I guarantee 0% of that wealth came from his investments in Linux support. Their investment in Linux is mostly a way of keeping MS in check, as in “if you try to fuck us the way Apple does with iOS, your customers will leave Windows because they’d rather have something where they can play their giant library of existing games”.
Hey if Gabe wants to make Linux phones something to be taken seriously I’m all for that. Until then, Gemini creeps me the fuck out so no android. I can tolerate Siri being fucking dumb.
You literally mentioned iOS above. And my point stands. If Gabe were to start porting those games to a Linux phone of some sort, it would really help that platform, much like he’s helped the Linux community and his own business interests.
Him going after Microsoft benefits everybody. Him going after Apple could do the same.
Wow.
A huge chunk of that Linux development was paid for by exploiting child gambling.
Just because one does a few good things with their money, doesn’t justify how they got it.
Valve was making bank before lootcrates, and lootcrates have been available to kids since trading card games.
There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

I wish we didn’t need it, but we do.
They hated him because he spoke the truth.

I think you missed the point. No one was talking about Android or iOS. We were talking about Windows and Linux.
Valve’s investment in Linux began back in the Windows Vista days when MS tried to control Windows the same way that Apple does with iOS.

I don’t take issue with rich people. Owning boats worth US$1 billion is past the point of rich.
Why are you taking the worth for granted though?
Man who didn’t want his business to be completely reliant on Microsoft, made a decision to ensure his money in the future
