“Manufacturers and tech companies have a bigger role to play”

Yeah Apple is already making the parts junk with the locking but it doesn’t seem to help.

Gender neutral pronouns might be pretty huge too, but nobody’s private data is getting hacked because of gendered pronoun use.

I’m no conspiracy theorist, but if I needed to discuss anything legal, I wouldn’t want to do it near a phone. Or a newish car. Or a smart TV…

The list of things that could be listening to us if there’s a vulnerability for the 3 letter agencies to exploit, is ridiculous. And outside of phone and desktop operating systems, few things get regular secrity updates.

It’s called OpenStreetMap and there are many apps for it! Organic Maps is a good one and I like it for when I go abroad and want to preload an entire country instead of downloading maps on my paltry 33 or whatever gigs of roaming allowance (that also only works in the EU - if I want to visit the US, I get to pay out the ass for 250 MB or 1 GB at a time)

Oh definitely

You’re right, I believe the only thing Switzerland mandated (or wants to mandate?) is for projects built FOR the government to be open sourced - and even then, there are exemptions.

Of course, unlike you, I don’t live in Switzerland, so I’m probably not as informed.

More limited, but also less enshittified than Windows.

If you want a good, well-polished experience for certain creative workloads, or even programming, MacOS is great and their Apple Silicon CPUs are excellent.

If you want to do ANY gaming besides WoW (which surprisingly enough has always had great MacOS support) or you can’t stand the lack of configurability, Linux is immediately the superior choice by far.

As always, I think regulated markets are the best - don’t go full planned economy, but don’t let corpos do whatever they want either.

Which is funny because if I’m ever in the market for a NEW car again, I’d gladly pay an extra grand just to not fucking be tracked.

A horde of developers, so to speak

I was just making a joke about your username being a distro tbh

It’s Puppy Linux, isn’t it?

Chrome cryptominer when

Ah might be right. I believe the one side hinge replacement netted you a new display cable, not a new antenna now that I think of it.

Not just an uninitiated person. I had done thousands and still occasionally severed them.

I believe in this model the antenna is replacable though?

I don’t think Windows uses a microkernel. Hybrid kernel is the term I’ve heard used.

Wouldn’t that be UPS?

I’m hoping entire custom campaigns.

Back in the day, Operation Flashpoint, the predecessor of ArmA, had a mod community that built mods that came with huge new maps, new equipment and actually decently written campaigns. All because of the official mod tooling, which even came with tutorials.

Direct Rendering Manager I believe
