I have faith that FOSS will endure. PinePhone is still making inroads as a viable option, mobile Linux is coming along (though I can’t point to a device I’d hold up as a poster model), and Europe’s push for digital sovereignty is likely to accelerate offerings that are neither Google nor Apple based. It’s still early days though, so likely to be a year or two until something viable is on market, and even then the big fight will probably be with banking/financial apps not wanting to support additional platform standards, but if Europe digs in and demands native born OS’s free from the Silicon Valley shackles, there’s a financial incentive to support those alternatives in some way, lest a third party fill the gap/need and eat legacy banking’s lunch.
Gotta disagree with you there. Crucifiction means he’s likely to be made a martyr and Trumpism will end up being a new major sect of Christianity, with a whole new host of evangelists prostelytizing “his” teachings. In my wildest dreams he’d go the route of Wilson, where a dibilitating stroke forces him to be a prisoner in his own body as the next regime (hopefully) dismantles the fascist apparatus he’s birthed into being. Barring that, I hope he just dies while shitting his pants during a live TV broadcast. Just strokes out, ala McConnell, and shits his pants, loudly and audibly (just like the Forbes video), before face planting off the stage.
