Because war is a horrendous fact of life and when it happens it’s all hands on deck for survival’s sake. Whether or not draftees feel like going to war is immaterial, that’s the point.

No we couldn’t. That’s naive at best.
You are unable to care at that point though.
I don’t give a fuck what Microsoft is doing with ARM, but I do wonder if releasing ARM laptops to the market will have an effect on Linux. It’d be great to get a Linux machine with MacBook-like silence, battery life and cool operation. Asahi is doing some work there for Apple’s implementation. Anyone with some Linux development experience that can shed some light?
Ah, so you just get to install and uninstall applications at your leisure Microsoft?

Exactly so they shouldn’t have bailed anyone out in the first place.
You were talking about data ownership, not intellectual property.
According to legend, Alexander the Great came to visit the philosopher Diogenes of Sinope. Alexander wanted to fulfill a wish for Diogenes and asked him what he desired. As told by Diogenes Laërtius, Diogenes replied, “Stand out of my light.”
One day while he was eating a frugal dish of lentils, he was challenged by the philosopher Aristippus, who, for his part, led a golden life as he was one of the king’s courtiers. Aristippus scornfully told him: “See, if you learned to crawl before the king, you wouldn’t have to settle for rubbish like this vulgar dish of lentils!” Diogenes replied: “If you’d learned to make do with lentils, you wouldn’t have to crawl before the king!”
Big dick energy. Love this guy.
Your heart rate. Your step count. Your location. Your searches. Your browser history. Your call history. Your contacts. Your transactions. Your credit history. Your medical history. This is data that you didn’t choose to create or share, but that you exhaust in the day-to-day things you do.
Surveillance capitalism has grown too unfathomably huge and ingrained to choose not to share this data; that would be akin to checking out of modern life wholesale in a lot of ways. Guarding this data takes not only the realisation that it needs guarding, but changing law and culture such that the parties that have to have all that data to provide you with services cannot take it from you to sell.
In Yanis Varoufakis’s words: Techno feudalism.
Great, thanks for driving up the price and thus making the market more attractive. This is a never ending waste of time, money, energy and life.
Rotate the left display 90 degrees clockwise. Now they’re both in landscape. Ta-da!
Sorry, I’ll see myself out.
Wait you can forward X through Termux? TIL.
I agree that alternative app stores are definitely a boon and I can’t wait for the EU to nail Apple to the wall over dragging their feet on that. Competition is good and that 30% fee monopoly is bullshit.
There are iOS terminal clients (I like Termius). The ROM thing, yeah… I installed /e/OS on my Fairphone 4 just for the privacy aspect, but functionally it’s not better or worse than what came in the box. There might be reasons to do it but utility-wise I don’t very well see the point in this day and age.
I hadn’t thought of the developer license requirement to run your own software, I personally don’t do that but I can see it being a deal breaker. Thanks for your thoughts. :)
This is a common argument and it always makes me wonder what people mean by it. No ill intent from my end here, I use and like Apple as well as FOSS, but I can’t think of anything I can do on Android that I can’t on iOS. I admit I’m a very basic user though, I prefer to do heavy lifting on a laptop.
I am genuinely curious. Do you have some examples?
Sanity? On the INTERNET!? No! Scoop out your brain and light your pitchfork! Reeeee!

I was just quoting the Hitchhiker’s Guide.
Sure, you can technically opt out, but Displate is counting on users glossing over the possibility until they have a reason to want to opt out at which point it will be too late (i.e. they want to sue or take them to small claims court or whatever).
