Man you must have some unhappy house cats. My cat went out onto the patio, realised he could get the same smells from the open window, and went back inside.
There are plenty of smaller devices still running 32-bit ARM processors. Enough of them in fact that Ubuntu 24.04 got entirely recompiled to only use 64-bit timestamps even on 32-bit platforms since by the time it's out of support 2038 will be less than 5 years away.
I remember having this argument 20 years ago with a bunch of people talking about the great graphics of some games. My response was always "yeah but the gameplay isn't good."
I'll take a pretty game, sure. But I'll take 2600-level graphics and good gameplay over a lot of the AAA garbage we're being fed these days.
Many more companies than Valve are making financial investments into Linux gaming, including companies that own various Linux distributions (Red Hat, Canonical, etc.), CodeWeavers (who amongst other things have been contracted by Valve on a lot of Proton work) and to a lesser extent Humble Bundle.
I work from home. I work for a company that has been fully remote for decades. There's no reason in my line of work for me to schlep to an office. In fact, my last employer discovered a significant increase in productivity when we went remote because of COVID.
The "joke" is a false equivalence. The reindeers' job isn't something that can be done as remote work, and the vast majority of people understand this and wouldn't be asking for remote work in that sort of role. So the comic relies on a false equivalence that belittles people who ask for remote work.
And if Apple is preventing other competing proprietary systems from working on their platform, do you agree that they should allow those systems to work on their platform?
Apple's versions aren't really any better than competing systems (some of which are open) in my experience. They're just better than the other systems they allow to operate on their devices, which is a way of using their large market share to prevent competition. Apple have used "but muh security!" as a response to letting competing services onto iOS, so the EU are giving them the other option - open up your own standard so others can use it.
That's avoiding the question. It also ignores the fact that there are already multiple competing implementations that are also better than standard Bluetooth file sharing, but that Apple's walled Garden prevents several of them from being usable on Apple's devices, so if you're taking that approach then you're trading off one method of Apple being anticompetitive for another.

Cat tax before you animals demand it.
