   the reason i hate the arm isa, is because it facilitated the duopoly of iOS/android
   
   if it was another architecture that had done this, i would hate that one instead

     @6a62 i know these particular details
     
     my gripe is, digital identity is important, we need to learn not letting it be privatized my two mega-corporations, it is a really dangerous path for the future
     
     the PC/mac part of the industry at least allow for a user what ownership of your digital footprint is, on the phone market this is straight up impossible

     @NeonPurpleStar also the majority of the mobile market ( and the pre-smartphone PDA market ) was arm based anyway, going back to 90s nokias and psion PDAs

     android/iOS didn’t have much to do with it imo

     @NeonPurpleStar eh, not really. Android has support for x86 ( hello I daily drove an Intel Atom based phone for like 2 years ( ironically ) ) and MIPS ( but I don’t think any MIPS phones actually shipped? )

     @6a62
     well, yes, but past 2010 everyone seems to be pushing for every digital need to fulfilled a phone
     
     i am just not okay with that, the benevolent industry of phone makers + telecom providers is not a group i trust for their "philanthropic" nature
     
     telecom providers are like the opec+ of technology

     @NeonPurpleStar I agree, but that problem arises from those two computing platforms arising from very different places

     computers started as scientific and engineering tools, but phones started as basic appliances

     computers went down-market into personal computers and brought the freedom and power with them. phones went up-market and brought immense compute power to a locked down home appliance

     @ahriboy arm vendors could bother to use some UEFI compliant standard for arm, because it exists, so that we would have no need to maintain board-specific images, but here we are

     @NeonPurpleStar@outerheaven.club ARM isn't just iOS and Android. There are desktop OS's using ARM. A lot of Linux distros are testing ARM.
