This is why I'm not deleting my reddit posts and comments. It's not worth making the whole world a tiny bit worse just to punish one company.

I can't see it at all.
Ancient history.
The whole PS/2 & OS/2 fiasco is probably what pushed the once great IBM away from hardware and software production into managed services and consulting which is where they make their money now. They are a contract sales driven company. Quarterly sales targets & bonuses is a good way to motivate the sales team. The problem is that IBM concider everything other than sales an expense to be minimized. They do not invest. They market. "Watson" did not represent AI innovation. It was just a marketing tool.
IBM/Redhat only HAS to provide their source code to paying customers. That is what they are doing. They will also refuse to do business with entities that use the source to release the source or use it in a derivative distro.
This violates the spirit of open-source. IBM benefits from the work of thousands of programmers for free, but refuses to reciprocate. They are de facto close sourcing their code.
You can also bet of the fact that IBM will decrease their development of Redhat (more layoffs) over time as they emphasize short term profits.
I don't know9, but I'm curious why the number of users matters to anyone.
I feel like google used to be the good guys relative to apple. They were more open and truly supported open source & standards. But I don't feel like there's much difference anymore.
Cheap electronics is all I buy from Ali exp.
In my suburban town you can't turn around without bumping into a credit union branch. They all work together cooperatively too. The only reason I ever go into a branch is for my safe deposit box.
Huh? I've used 4 different credit unions, and I never heard of being unable to get a debit card.
So, now we're begging for low quality content (like this comment)?
