  There probably will someday be a push to prevent common normal people from having access to computer systems that offer the user root or superuser access.

    We’re gonna have problems getting enough software engineers in the future. How is anyone supposed to learn when everything is locked away. It’s already happening in the repair industry and the trades.

    This is already happening with smart phones.

      When the government comes to take away my unlocked bootloader phone, I will be switching to ham radio instead getting a locked down phone. Fuck the system.

        Sad thing is there is no way to securely communicate via ham radio.

        But I’d be fully open to going pirate!

        And with regard to unlocked bootloaders, I think it’s the manufactures wanting to lock away choice and options that is the issue more than the government.

      Speak for yourself, I’ll take anything that executes code and find a use for it

        The IPC just isn’t good enough of those chips anymore, making them really inefficient. You’d be better off buying a modern celeron
