You mean like the rights of that shop which was deprived of a pair of precious socks as opposed to the rights of the defendant who was locked up for 25 years for the crime?

Strange that you are connecting Linux users with Libertarianism. Not long ago Linux was "communist". If you haven't noticed some libertarians would argue unrestricted freedom to Big tech and other corps without government getting in their way to violate labour rights, the environment and establishing monopolies and lock-ins, while most Linux users are likely just concerned about the freedom to run the software they wish on their devices and does not want to feel that they are being watched and tracked every second. Meanwhile the qanon types are the ones who spout baseless crap that is a distraction from real issues like what Google is proposing now that the qanon types probably are blissfully unaware of. A lot of bad conflating, associating and generalizing in your comment.

So, they are happy with EUV?

>> In early July, the US reportedly began a pressure campaign in the hopes of convincing the Netherlands to block Dutch semiconductor equipment maker ASML from selling deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography tech to China.

>> DUV is previous-gen manufacturing tech, and has been superseded in recent years by extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography used to produce 7nm and smaller process nodes.

So, does it mean that the US is happy with ASML giving out EUV tech to China or not? Because ASML seem to have a near monopoly on that as well
