Eyes Up’s purpose is to “preserve evidence until it can be used in court.” But it has been swept up in Apple’s attack on ICE-spotting apps.

    If you want to get that deep into it even your tomato choices are controlled by a large company (hybrid seed, chemical starter, distribution, preestablished deals with vendors) but you can still grow your own.

    Nothing stopping anyone from being the next Linus and deciding to start something new.

    Nothing stopping anyone from forking an old kernel and doing something different with it and stripping out the big corp stuff you don’t like.

      Right.

      Linux made a Unix clone. One can say, started with the wrong premise.

      It’s a lot of work. I honestly think what Emacs developers are doing - assume that the underlying OS won’t ever be good enough, and just put all your ideology into particular environment you’re making, - is the right approach. I’m not even sure if what I’d want to do requires anything but Emacs, I think I’ll get busy with learning elisp.
