Sure, I agree with that, but I didn't say they were socialist sports leagues, only that that they had "socialistic policies". Perhaps if I had written '"socialistic" concepts' it would have been a bit more clear.

Absolutely! Those corporations also love hobbling or getting rid of any honest competition through mergers, acquisitions, regulatory capture, non-compete agreements, and endless other mechanisms.

I just found out about this site: https://hostingcanada.org/

This may be a good place to start your research?

That's a lot more understandable and less controversial though. I don't think you could properly operate a military force without having a level playing field for everyone.

Come to think about it, it's almost like no complex system involving humans is bound to work well without having a level playing field for everyone. 🤔

Yes, thank you, that's the quote I had in mind!

Wait until you hear about how you cannot pay to watch all the NFL/NBA/MLB/NHL games in your market on a streaming service. Unless something has very recently changed, there’s no method of legitimately paying where you won’t still experience blackouts.

Yikes, I hadn't even thought of that! There are some local games where the only way to watch if you live in that city is to buy a ticket to go to the stadium, right?

Sure, that's definitely an option, I suppose with GPU passthrough (I'm not sure how well this works). My idea when I switch to Linux is to have Windows 11 and macOS VMs.

This, to me, is the worst sin of Windows 11. One of the greatest benefits Windows had compared to macOS was that it used to be backward compatible with really old hardware. Real pro move to get rid of that.

Edit: I bought a cheap micro form factor PC that I thought would support Windows 11 natively. Haha, no, the 6 year old CPU on that was not supported.

Affinity

Unfortunately, I seem to recall that Affinity doesn't run well under wine. If only they would officially port it to Linux, that would be a major move for them and for Linux. Follow DaVinci Resolve's and BitWig's examples.

Absolutely! It should also be applied to society in the US and everywhere.
