Just re-upping this fantastic explainer thread, on how an EO cannot just rename an international body of water, and we need to stop describing patently illegal EOs as "doing" the things they legally cannot do. And if any big international corp (Apple, Google) buckles, hope other countries push back

I watched with great interest this retelling of the development history of X Window by Keith Packard from back in 2020.
Among the many nuggets of wisdom one can glean from this presentation is the selfish and ultimately self-destructive struggle between Sun, DEC, HP, and others in establishing a dominant Unix windowing system. Instead of solving the *developer* problem of writing software that can run on a large number of workstations, they quickly took the successful (and open) X11 implementation and each subverted it to “build their castle walls taller”. By refusing to cooperate to serve their primary customers, they left the market wide open for Microsoft Windows to take over.
This retelling seems oddly parallel to today’s oligarchs refusing to care for their societies, which approximately equals their customer base. By mistreating and underpaying their workers, they destroy the very consumer buying power their companies need to survive.
