No necessarily a "Public Education" issue. Often it is corporations interfering in public institutions. At the _public_ faculties of computer science unis in Extremadura and Málaga I heard the same. A little probing revealed that Microsoft, Adobe and Oracle were funding labs and researchers, and lavishing gifts on the professors.
@Bro666 @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I was there when Apple descended on academia with deep preditory discounts and even purchasing all wall space on St George subway station to flog their underpowered overpriced sewn-up tight proprietary products.
It was an obvious trap, but few cared. A laptop 90% off? Gee, that's gotta be a good deal…
I ran yggdrasil Linux, some were intrigued by my ability to keep working while a document printed, but not enough to part with their pretty Mac.
