  • Half of capitalism enjoyers I know complain that “communists” (anyone who complains about capitalism) are hypocrites because they “don’t apply communism to their lives” by sharing their salaries and buying iphones and super expensive clothes.

    Ask them how one can “apply communism” when they live under a society that is capitalist, where any donation or salary sharing is effectively feeding capitalism and they’ll just circle back to the initial complaint.








  • The company’s reason is “brand protection”:

    We carefully reviewed the project you shared with us (https://github.com/linuxwacom/wacom-hid-descriptors). While we appreciate the initiative, we found that this is primarily a Wacom-led project, and the potential impact for GAOMON would be quite limited. Even if we added support for our devices, the system would still show the device as a GAOMON model, but the overall setup would display Wacom branding. More importantly, participating would require sharing our device specifications directly with Wacom – which is not something we can consider.

    The last part of that reply is very wrong.

    The article also has a reply from Peter Hutterer, a “senior software engineer at Red Hat and a maintainer of Linux’s core input device handling infrastructure since decades”, which is worth reading.
