What would a computing environment look like that simply didn't support proprietary code on a technical level?

So, I'm sure this is a thing, but I know nothing.
I'm looking for a fictional historical account of how the world would be if the English, and specifically only the English, never colonized the Americas. Everyone else who did is allowed.
It's just something I've been thinking about recently for some reason.

@someonetellmetosleep @thibaultmol Varies from a couple hundred to about 7k max (above that, Firefox starts just breaking)
@onekopaka @thibaultmol For me it always seems to happen after switching a tab. Though videos do seem to often be involved, and I do run multi-monitor under Plasma 5, though on X I think?
@smveerman Karakterlimiet was net op?
@scottjenson Because this isn't "hatred". This is people responding to their personal boundaries being violated. That has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with 'corporate social media', and is a very real problem that needs to be taken seriously.
"Finding a way to work together" includes *especially* the responsibilities of relatively privileged folks to be mindful of the trauma and experiences of others, and to tread carefully on topics like this. So the exact opposite of what is being done here.
@scottjenson Do you really not see the problem with trying to define for someone else what qualifies as 'tone policing'?

Hello people. Here is my yearly post. This time I come bearing a gift in form of a keygen for a PlayStation 2 game Colin McRae Rally 04. You can find it here: https://p4t.xyz/keygen/
Warning: it is a complete keygen experience (has tracker music, but no malware)
@thibaultmol ... one day I hope to encounter a Firefox contributor who wants to do a hands-on debugging session because I'm pretty sure by this point that my usage patterns are revealing several hard-to-reproduce browser bugs
@thibaultmol (Usually manifesting as one window suddenly failing to redraw unless I constantly minimize and restore it, or one of my extensions suddenly breaking, or an endless Firefox-rendered spinner showing when I try to load a page and the relevant process is unreachable, or...)
@thibaultmol Tabs. Many tabs. And a roughly daily forced restart of my browser because the IPC collapses under the weight of my tabs

talking to people outside a furry con: “The weather's awful, isn't it? Did you watch the big game last night?"
talking to people at a furry con: “The lifts are awful aren't they? Yeah, I waited 20 minutes for one last night”
Current Firefox boot time: roughly 17 minutes

Mijn sportschoenen trokken krom en krompen, nadat ik per ongeluk de wasmachine op drogen had gezet. Nu wil ik ze opnieuw kopen, want ze waren fantastisch, maar zijn ze nergens ter wereld meer verkrijgbaar.
Salomon S/Lab Sense 8 SG (Soft Ground) - maat 42. Wie ze kan vinden, mag mij tippen!
@crash I would say that I'm interested in both, mainly because I'm not sure that it *can* be made more sustainable in this model, from what I've seen so far. I would certainly be open to solutions in that area, but I'm not holding my breath, basically
@crash I would agree in an idealized sense, but in practice people come in with preconceived notions based on past interactions with entirely different groups and cultural norms, and often it isn't all that easy to show why something works that way, even if it seems obvious to the people embedded into that community...
Past experiences can significantly color how a person observes things that they see in front of them, and which aspects of it they do or don't perceive, even if that isn't a conscious process. This problem gets worse the more your community deviates from widespread social norms
@crash I try to do the same, but I've never seen this actually be sustainable in the long term :/ Just gradually burning out the people doing this, especially on hotly debated topics
@crash (But I have no idea what that something might look like exactly)
@crash I think that part of the problem with that approach is exactly that it is easy for the new perspective to drown in books worth of recycled discussion, because the newcomer has no idea what has already been discussed... I would like to see something more sustainable, that scopes the conversation to those new perspectives specifically

one thing glaringly missing from most leftist, including trans takes on fatphobia and fat activism is the barrier to care many trans people face due to unnecessary BMI limits on gender affirming surgeries.
