If only my "idea" what just an "obsessions" then people wouldn't be suffering from proprietary computing.

>that has created something very important, very useful,
Not saying it didn't. I'm just saying creating duo/oligopolies have forbidden the market from responding to the 5 basic demands a customer ask for their computers to have a proper return on investment.
-It doesn't break down (needs to be repairable (publicly available schematics)
-It doesn't loose data (needs to be auditable and repairable (publicly available/changeable/executable source code )
-Data isn't stolen (needs to be auditable (previous condition needed))
-The customers owns the product (needs all the previous above)
-The customers gets a manpower/entertainment multiplicator

And I'm not including generic demands that applies to all product like not being a physical or mental health hazard etc...

Not only if you don't check all those box the customers don't get full potential but it also blocks the market/businesses from being able to do proper administration/maintenance services for people.

>that would have never been done as FOSS
"It hasn't happened thus it could not have happened"
Yes please, continue to defend the multi Billion dollar companies who have gone to the extreme to kill and bankrupt people over reverse engineering.
Please also ignore OpenSPARC that the usual Golem decided to kill.

>GPGPU computing is useful for many things
I never said otherwise.
Just saying that proprietary computing is a detriment to civilization because it impacts, Morales (freedoms etc..), Commerce (human exchange/free market), law and order ( the right of ownership, of anonymity etc..) even health be it mental or physical is impacted due to their model.
