I don’t know how it came about

iirc the facility that we see housing the evil iron man ripoff suits was a SpaceX facility irl

but that’s not how it is

Doesn’t mean it can’t be that way, though, One way nationalization also exists.

Yes, it is rather backwards for a handful of companies to own entire blocks of IP addresses just because. The infrastructure was massively funded by public dollars, it should be publicly owned.

I don’t know what this is a question to.

Not opposed to that, but I’m more concerned with being able to get one at low cost, would need at least .net to kinda expand the pool.

How do we make domains more democratic? It seems so backwards that massive corporations and groups of massive corporations are the only bodies that get to decide things like this that aren’t literally states.

Don’t fridges do the same thing? Once it gets the interior to the set temperature, the compressor turns off until the sensors say it needs more cold.

Disgraceful?

Bitcoin isn’t that.

Most Arch users don’t actually use Arch because it doesn’t have a GUI installer.

I don’t think it’s entirely a double standard. Yes Steam is still a launcher, but it’s also the marketplace I buy my games. If I bought a game on Origin or UPlay, and then Steam popped up when I was trying to play my game, that would still be bullshit.

This is a pretty old template iirc

Yet people are entitled to not be prejudiced against for their immutable qualities.

It’s not “shipping with a browser” that was ever the problem.
