@shebang @xianc78 if apple gave basic openeness and access to the hardware *you* bought (like they used to), then I would have really loved them. but they make it literally impossible; which is ridiculous.

@shebang @xianc78

> like they used to

I maybe mistaken here tho

@meeper @xianc78 Yeah you gotta go back pretty god damn far

like Apple II days

@shebang @xianc78


wish we could come along and you know make a new apple, but companies were let to become too powerful and we now have multiple ibm's to compete with

@meeper @shebang Yeah, blame patents and other regulations. In a true free market, we would be able to legally create clones of Apple products.

@xianc78 @shebang true, we have shit like patents regulating our ability to do somethign or medium sized corps, and megacorps really don't face any pressure due to this

@shebang @xianc78 like the fact us isn't regulating it's megacorps and people arent uproarious and even associating with them is truly saddening

I want to create a system which finally brings to the normal people good design principles, instead of what modern computers do (a waste of resources and money often)

but the only way really is to close my scope to only some hardware and even then it's gonna be limited
