You can also self-host bitwarden.

It’s both.

That’s a complete misrepresentation of what the other commenter was saying.

It’s conspiracy bullshit to think that the government has nebulous access to all listening and recording devices, has an army of goons to review every second of every piece of footage, and when murders or rapes occur they actively ignore it because the division helps them profit.

None of this was said or implied.

And yes, it’s conspiracy bullshit to think they’re directly spending money on sowing division in people.

Why? Isn’t that the purpose of Rupert Murdoch’s?

Is it conspiracy bullshit that megacorps and billionaires directly benefit from, and spend millions on, sowing division among the people?

What exactly is the utility of the above quote of yours then?

To show that the correlation is spurious at best.

Has it become even more successful after he’s mellowed out?

Yes, it has. Usage of Linux has been growing over the years.

My point is exactly that. It’s not obvious, and as such you can’t attribute the success of Linux to his behaviour. Like the OP said, there’s no logic in looking at something successful and picking a singular thing to be responsible.

How is that obvious? Especially because it’s become even more successful after he’s mellowed out?

The analogy is that the end result doesn’t justify the behaviour from the person in power. It’s apt.

But did it work because of the style or in spite of it? No reason to believe it wouldn’t be even more successful if he had been less abrasive like he is now.

It’s not a comparison, it’s an analogy. Important distinction.

They’re different things. The OP means electromagnetism, Coulomb’s law has nothing to do with quantum mechanics, it’s classical physics.

The relation between them is that they’re both forces that scale with the inverse square of the distance between the objects. Any force that scales with the inverse square of distance has pretty much the same general form.

Another similarity is that both are incomplete, first approximations that describe their respective forces. The more complete versions are Maxwell’s laws for electromagnetism and General Relativity for gravity.

It’s electromagnetism you mean, not quantum mechanics.
