    You’re wrong. It’s not collaborative. It’s competitive. Only open source is collaborative. There doesn’t need to be any secrets or DRM. That shit is what’s wrong. Worse than wrong, it’s bad.

    Linux isn’t a person. It “accepts” literally anything. Nobody needs to accept Adobe’s BS. The industry is dragged down by them, not propped up.

      If your OS is competing instead of collaborating with the hardware and apps, that’s gonna be a bad experience.

        Welcome to Apple and Microsoft. It’s a bad experience, but you’ll pay because all your friends are jumping off the same bridge.

      There are frenemies in the some markets for sure. But no “the marketplace” is a collaborative thing, corporations are collaborative ventures, etc

      Almost every human experience is marked by systems of collaboration, even if competition is also allowed within that system.

      Also agreed, and again fuck Adobe.

        Yeah, I get that a lot of these groups gotta work together, but there’s just way too damn much leverage bullshit going on. Things could be so much better with a totally open source world. Restricting copying and features that companies don’t want us to have just kills the romance of digital goods being infinitely copyable.
