Amazing how every single part of your comment is so wrong.
It’s actually a really good analogy,
Not an analogy, an example. Those two are different things.
because it can only run on
No, it can run on many things, including open source collaborative hardware that exists.
fully-capitalist hardware.
What the hell even is that? Fun fact: until very recently most of the computer hardware was made in communist China. I know, scary. And now that a lot of effort is being made to get that production out of there, those efforts are being sponsored by public money to an incredible degree. Billions of dollars of taxes (you know, community resources) are being poured into that because big corporations are the biggest lovers of government handouts.
Only RISC-V spec is open. Hardware is still proprietary and is using proprietary cores manufactured using proprietary tech processes. 1% open source in the product doesn’t make the product fully open source.

This not the dunk you think
What is “fully-capitalist hardware?”
it sanctions other CPUs and strong arms them into giving up their cycles
Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and capitalist hardware.
Fire at will, commander.
No, not the Bootlicker Beam!
Same sort of deal as “anarcho-communist” operating systems. @@
That answers absolutely nothing. Do you think Capitalists designed hardware, or Engineers?
I’m just gonna leave this quote as is, so you can think about it.
I have. Engineers, ie workers, designed the hardware. It was not the Capitalists that owned the companies doing the design.
Are you saying capitalists and engineers are one in the same? Maybe sometimes, but it’s not capital that makes things, it’s labor.
How the hell did you pick lemmy.ml?
Because people aren’t one dimensional objects.
And that excuses a total lack of awareness.
I don’t need to excuse your imagination.
It really seems like you didn’t have an actual argument, you just wanted to whine and duck away from any pushback.
What in the hell is capitalist hardware? Does my computer own a factory?
how many yards of linen for my dust filters?

China hasn’t been communist in a long time.
Please explain to me where this “open source collaborative” Internet hardware is on which you run your bitcoin network.
Never heard of RISC-V?
Only RISC-V spec is open. Hardware is still proprietary and is using proprietary cores manufactured using proprietary tech processes. 1% open source in the product doesn’t make the product fully open source.
It’s behind by decades of capitalists making the industry a festering shithole.
Why does it matter which software we’re running? Running a Bitcoin node on something comes right after running Doom on it.
