Apple and Microsoft would simply never allow that to happen. End of story. The Open Source "community" is hell-bent on finding technical solutions for political problems, and this is the best among countless examples of why it's a hopeless mission from the outset.
Can you explain how this is a "technical solution to a political problem"? I totally buy that it might be a politically incorrect move, but Apple, at least, already screws Adobe over constantly... it doesn't even have to be open source: if Adobe released a fully-proprietary first-party userland stack for Linux--one which replaced Gnome and KDE, as these "community" efforts are not just failing but in some cases have become actively evil--I think it could be extremely competitive in the lucrative niche of software (as we are all paying customers who pay more to Adobe than I ever would to Microsoft) for creative professionals.
Great solution if you're looking to spend hours installing CS6 built for a 1280x720 display, or CS18 (high DPI support) with very buggy operation and constant crashes. I've been there, done that.
In a capitalist society, class is the predominant relationship one has with their society.
I know this is pretty obvious and may not entirely answer your question, but many people find it very difficult to swallow this reality these days and I think it's worth reminding.
>Another article is more explicit about exactly who isn’t joining the military anymore.
The article doesn't confirm whether the total of any other groups is dropping, but it can be inferred from the numbers given that recruiting is very low across the board. It's worth having a racial remark in the title for clicks alone.
> In 2018, 56.4% of new recruits were categorized as white. In 2023, that number had fallen to 44%. During that same five-year period, Black recruits have gone from 20% to 24% of the pool, and Hispanic recruits have risen from 17% to 24%, with both groups seeing largely flat recruiting totals but increasing as a percentage of incoming soldiers as white recruiting has fallen.
The use of proportions rather than actual totals means the number of recruits could have dropped by that same 12.4% in every category, in which case the focus on race is completely meaningless.
Capitalism is literally defined by the ability to exercise capital to accumulate more of it, which is literally the only way for a monopoly to exist. By definition, capitalism has nothing to do with so-called "free markets".
Will never happen. Comcast has the power, not the politicians. As Marx showed us 150 years ago, a state under capitalism tends to become a capitalist state.
