    Does Linus support steaming artwork and a fascist surveillance state? Because using and supporting and entrenching the technology use is exactly that.

      The other way of helping with that, is give Apple, Adobe and Windows a huge advantage, so people can’t easily move to free / open software.

      It’s a lot more difficult to be controlled by a monopoly when the OS is free, and anyone can roll their own

      At the moment, money is basically going straight to closed source US companies for almost every desktop computer. Remember when Tim Cook gave Trump a gift publicly the other day? We KNOW Microsoft and Apple DEFINITELY aren’t on our side… They’re not even subtle about it anymore (weirdly though, it feels like Microsoft is more on our side these days than Apple)
