But can it be solved by throwing less sensors at the problem? Cause that’s what he’s been doing. Removing sensors from the newer versions that were in the older ones.

Just to clarify, the one that said that is actually one of the oldest far right parties in the country, not one of those that just popped up.

I have one just like that too.

Wtf.

Yes, so?

Cooperatives, employee-owned companies, etc.

I’m not the one who suggested regulations. For me, corporations shouldn’t exist at all.

They’re suggesting regulating corporations properly.

What exactly is the utility of the above quote of yours then?

To show that the correlation is spurious at best.

Has it become even more successful after he’s mellowed out?

Yes, it has. Usage of Linux has been growing over the years.

it uses end-to-end encryption

At least they say they do, but we can’t really verify that.

My point is exactly that. It’s not obvious, and as such you can’t attribute the success of Linux to his behaviour. Like the OP said, there’s no logic in looking at something successful and picking a singular thing to be responsible.

Natural diversity is what we want.

How is that obvious? Especially because it’s become even more successful after he’s mellowed out?

The analogy is that the end result doesn’t justify the behaviour from the person in power. It’s apt.

Of course it is. A square is also a rectangle but it’s still an important distinction.

But did it work because of the style or in spite of it? No reason to believe it wouldn’t be even more successful if he had been less abrasive like he is now.

It’s not a comparison, it’s an analogy. Important distinction.

I had three cars and a motorcycle at one point, though now I’m down to one car and a bicycle. But whatever makes you feel superior, I guess. Fuck the people with legitimate ideas to improve life and the environment.
