Hehe You’re the second person to convey that thought to me. So true though.

- Comment on EXCLUSIVE: Caroline Lucas sets out five Bills that need to be in the King’s Speech 1 year ago:
I am saddened that Caroline Lucas is not seeking reelection at the next General Election. She has been an excellent member of Parliament and a clarion voice on the environment.
- Comment on Why do all these companies developing privatised software use the word "Open"? Real question. 1 year ago:
It’s hard to know for sure why people opt for Apple products… It could be any number of things.
- Comment on Why do all these companies developing privatised software use the word "Open"? Real question. 1 year ago:
Surely the idea of open or free is always going to play better than closed, locked down and proprietary…? idk
- Comment on Why do all these companies developing privatised software use the word "Open"? Real question. 1 year ago:
Pure speculation : the idea of open source sells. It’s more appealing than the alternative.
- Comment on Qualcomm announces first-ever mass-market RISC-V Android SoC 1 year ago:
The Sipeed Lichee Pi 4A coming with Debian pre-installed is arguably the first consumer RISC-V device.
Qualcomm has good reason to focus on RISC-V. I’m expecting them to bring out SoCs as soon as they can. And with the Nuvia team, they have the design prowess to produce some very performant silicon.

Good!
- Comment on Meta wants to charge EU users $14 a month if they don't agree to personalized ads on Facebook and Instagram 1 year ago:
Perversely; I’m always less inclined to buy a product that I’ve seen advertised… “Why do they need to advertise it? It can’t be up to much.” And “Part of the ticket price has gone into advertising, so it’s not so valuable a thing.”, usually being my first thoughts.
- Comment on Meta wants to charge EU users $14 a month if they don't agree to personalized ads on Facebook and Instagram 1 year ago:
I guess this is a fair indication then of how much Meta receives per person from advertisers…
- Comment on Revealed: UK government keeping files on education critics’ social media activity 1 year ago:
This is deeply troubling in what is supposed to be a free society.
Education is a fundamental… But it has never been, and never will be a one-size-fits-all thing, and trying to impose an Authoritarian View and suppressing other ideas, is just wrong.
Perhaps I should request a disclosure of what they have on me : I have been critical of nonsensical testing in the past (though I think that some sort of baseline assessment is needed, and has always been done in some form).

- Comment on Raspberry Pi 5 revealed, and it should satisfy your need for speed 1 year ago:
To quote a Linux tech writer:
"You literally cannot boot a raspberry pi zero, one, two, three or four without running ThreadX which is a Microsoft product.
“So whether the OS pings a repo or not is moot. The whole damn computer is run by a proprietary sealed Microsoft binary.”

- Comment on Smartphone sales down 22 percent in Q2, the worst performance in a decade 1 year ago:
Perhaps at that point the consumer will opt for the repairable options.
- Comment on Smartphone sales down 22 percent in Q2, the worst performance in a decade 1 year ago:
A sign that the smartphone has reached maturity, I guess. People don’t feel the imperative to upgrade any more. That’s good for the planet!
- Comment on Raspberry Pi 5 revealed, and it should satisfy your need for speed 1 year ago:
No open sourced RISC-V processor? Not interested.
And courting Micor$oft…??
He’s lost the plot

Is this technology open source?
- Comment on I downgraded to an iPhone 11 Pro Max – and I'm not missing much 1 year ago:
I wasn’t suggesting it! There are other options.
The IPhone 3g turned me from a long-time Apple Fanboy to a Linux enthusiast over a decade ago. With no regrets.
- Comment on I downgraded to an iPhone 11 Pro Max – and I'm not missing much 1 year ago:
The hardware isn’t the issue…
The problem comes when Apple decides not to upgrade the OS any more. Then, some time after that, the apps you like to use won’t work.
Planned obsolescence : environmentally iniquitous.
- Comment on What do you think of framework and their methods? 1 year ago:
I contacted them about putting the Sipeed Lichee Pi 4A RISC-V SoM in… but they seemed unenthusiastic…
Not everyone is riding the hyperbole in tech.

HEAR! HEAR!!
- Comment on Developing world needs an alternative to Chinese tech 1 year ago:
It would mean the dinishing of market share of proprietary US software and hardware.
Linux and *BSD run on RISC-V. RISC-V devices will be shipped with an open source OS and apps. Android users won’t even notice / care about what chip is inside their tech.
And it puts app lock-in to the test.
