I give up, linux has huge downsides but the linux os by the name android seemingly doesn’t but linux has huge downsides you can’t even list. OK, got it.

Google disabling sideloading is not a huge linux problem, but at something steaming from how Google handles it. But keep going on with how linux has huge downsides…

You are confusing few things here. You said that Linux (not Android) has huge downsides. I mentioned that Android does not have such huge technical issues and is technically doing just fine. Now you talk politics, not technicalities and these don’t have anything to do with Linux or its downsides. My point is that Android proves that Linux on mobile does not have huge downsides, at least from technical POV. Also there is AOSP that is not affected by politics. Until Google decides to make it closed source that is.

No, this is fake news. I bet on Elon, he knows more than anybody on Earth, he already put men on Mars and created Hyperloop.

I wonder how reliable this news is. And if it’s true, it’s really horrible, or better, great defense from Israeli genocide people and orange US.

Not even sure there is that much will on politicians side. I hope there is, but they are mostly ignorant (judging from politicians in my country) and wouldn’t distinguish between Word and Windows. They might be interested if there are elections and public pushes for it. But once elected then it’s another song based on US stick and carrot. Mostly sticks from this administration. But I really do hope we start to move and now is the best time possible. Also recently there was data that German Federal Administration is paying Microsoft something like: 2023: 274.091.361,75 Euro 2024: 347.665.579,71 Euro 2025: 481.369.660,77 Euro The trend is not encouraging, isn’t it, and those are insane numbers - imagine what could we have for that amount with OSS. There is another neglected area - computer education in elementary school is practically non-existent and tiny-existent in middle school in my country while MS is subsidizing software for government and specially education sector. And so the circle of is closed.

Indeed, this is really infuriating. They are forcing use to throw away perfectly working hardware in name of profits.

That said, I like FP very much, but it’ll eventually hit the software block.

It all boils down to drivers, if those are not open source (and they usually are not), then phone upgradability depends on them

- Comment on what is good remote desktop software? 1 month ago:
Got it for login, makes sense, but not sure whether multimon really works. I mean when the server doesn’t have physical monitors attached. I know I could do the install-try, but if anybody has experience it’s even easier. So experience is appreciated.
- Comment on what is good remote desktop software? 1 month ago:
But does it allow login on machine and multi monitors like RDP does? These are two features I can’t live without (at least the former).
