Isn't it's crypto scheme to provide a universal donation mechanism or payment mechanism for ads the obvious business model?

That's an known issue with any customer driven org too. Prioritizing existing markets and customers vs up and coming ones.

The postal service almost was set up to do small time banking and email services but got cut down by Congress. So they had tried to push for providing more services to meet existing demand, but we're hamstrung on their efforts.

The push towards privitazation at all cost has really hurt the effectiveness and efficiency of government ran orgs in the United States.

They made Metal and choose not to make it what Vulkan is. Vulkan wouldn't have even need to be made in the first place.

At the very least no fine or enforcement mechanism. I'm ok with for example a postal service charging for some service. But involuntary charges going towards funding the institution charging it is just rife with perverse incentives.

Well they could get funding from the largest ad platforms in the world, sell user data, or subsidize with over priced hardware built with slave labor. At least if your comparing too Firefox, Chrome, Edge, or Safari.

A donation scheme built into the browser doesn't seem as bad to me in comparison.

Has his stances changed any since 2014?

They could have made metal what vulkan was

ChromeOS right? Is that the answer to the blogs unanswered question? Of what if Linux but supported by a MAANG company made for people who don't want to delve into computer science or engineering or tinkering.

I got into IT because troubleshooting Windows gave me a lot of experience. I don't think there is anything that comes to mind that would make apps less likely to have bugs then on Linux.

The only exception is gaming where a lot of game studios have years of experience with Windows APIs that they tightly integrated with in the past. Less needed now, but that's developer inertia for you.

Honestly good point. I would live both options personally. You know FOSS and on reasonably priced hardware, but I'd like it.

As a sys engineer looking forward to my cloud engineer pay increase I can confirm.

Selective peering is a solution here some. Encryption by default and other "ZeroTrust" centered security modeling can make it more possible.
