It is something that the sticking point with Anthropic was autonomous AI killing machines and turning the military AI on the US population. I could see people not being happy with that.
I suspect that with all things Apple 10% really care, 80% are indifferent and 10% really hate it. The middle 80% are happy to be led by those that really care.
If you offered me schematics and PCB designs for a tool I desired, I might be /more/ inclined to give you money just to support you. Nothing to do with my ability or interest in DIY (I also design and sell electronics).
Don’t worry too much. I’ve incorporated in AB and BC. Neither is difficult to setup or maintain. My regulatory burden amounts to about one weekend of effort per year including corporate tax filings. That’s a baseline. Harder if you employ a team (not just subcontractors) or in regulated industries where you might have environmental compliance or similar.
I bought the first AMD Framework 13 at launch. It just works and I’d buy it again.
To me their software story is compelling. To use the wording of the article, I like that I can be a weirdo running Linux on a laptop and not be a fringe use case. I had no interest in either of their supported distros but their support forums had the necessary hints needed to get a different distro up and running (plugging in newer firmware from the Linux kernel git).
I like that they’ve given some support to the FreeBSD community and I’d like to run that on a future Framework.
Not only has he tanked the brand, he thinks he deserves $56B for his efforts. And if he doesn’t get it, he might reallocate his attention elsewhere lololol.
Do you feel an injustice has been perpetrated against you? The Canadian attitude towards admission vis a vis DUI convictions predates the first Trump administration by a lot.
OTOH Victoria schoolchildren used to do cross border field trips. They ended the practice during the Trump Muslim ban to avoid trauma to kids.
It's that the rhetoric coming from Trump which, through significant threats to the on-going employment of anyone deemed to be not enthusiastically complying with these daily-updated mandates, increases the likelihood of un-justified "bad thing" happening upon attempting to cross the border to the US.
Basically, the current regime makes it unpredictable, which increases risk. Increased risk = decreased likelihood of related action.
I'm not sure how far off topic we've gone, but "Canadian Devs backing out of attending GDC" would also have a protest aspect to it due to DJT's belligerence towards Canada.
You could be right. There are stories about Trump voters being hurt by his cuts and still feel
it’s for the greater good.
On the other hand some of these elections are won by narrow margins. Most Trump voters didn’t sign up for pain (not personally, they only voted to harm others). Pain may influence their votes in the future or motivate their legislators to contain the executive branch.
