Non technical people also aren’t going out of their way to purchase Linux devices
- Comment on Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable 16 hours ago:
Its funny seeing everyone here demand an sdcard/removable battery/3.5mm jack claiming to represent all GOS users, actually looking at the GOS matrix chat I don’t see any of these people there. Do any of you even use GOS?
- Comment on Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable 16 hours ago:
I demand to have an outdated standard for a storage medium with a high rate of failure that’s also slow and causes immense heat, while we’re at it I also demand the charger be micro USB and it to be shipped with a pre rooted install of GOS maintained exclusively by one guy in his spare time

The amount is so insignificant that when filtering by OS it doesn’t even show up
- Comment on Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599 1 day ago:
Yeah people do shop online that’s what I said, on Amazon and best buy not niche laptop sellers. Also you severely overestimate the average persons interest in Linux, if Linux is not included the average person won’t install it.
- Comment on Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599 2 days ago:
That doesnt mean the average person can just use Linux, you cant even buy a laptop with Linux from a standard store that people typically look for laptops in (like Amazon or best buy). If you have to convince people to go to a separate website, manually enter their card details, and pay a shipping fee of $116 along with import fees (yes this is a bit more specific to Tuxedo but my point stands). Regardless of which Linux brand you buy it typically takes 3-5 weeks for shipping. Meanwhile across the board the base price of Linux laptops are always higher than Windows devices (some OEMs like Lenovo hide this by giving a $100 discount but when you consider that Linux is generally only an option for custom orders the total cost is still higher than a non custom standard windows laptop).
- Comment on Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599 2 days ago:
Honestly this seems absolutely incredible for the vast majority of people, a good MacBook at a decent price point. Benchmarks haven’t come out yet but I heard its as good if not better than the M1. For the vast majority of people that’s good enough, and even with the worse battery the real world battery life is gonna be amazing.
Also for those complaining about Linux support the main competition is Windows laptops running Snapdragon X Elite which should have somewhat similar performance and also doesn’t support Linux. Hell the snapdragon x2 probably won’t support Linux either. These laptops cost two times as much as this and usually with significantly worse build quality.
- Comment on Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599 2 days ago:
There’s no reason for the average person to ever buy another windows device
- Comment on (serious) What would we be losing in a world where most people didn't own a car? Please read the OP before posting. 3 days ago:
Sure and that’s absolutely awful, those remote areas deserve acess to fast and reliable public transportation as well. Specifically small towns should have commuter rail linking them to the nearest city, infrastructure that prioritizes walking and micro mobility, along with just better infrastructure.

Quite frankly the grand majority of things lost by a lack of car ownership could just as easily be made up by just building better infrastructure

Your 5070 laptop has 8gb of vram? My desktop 3060 has 12gb of vram and its not even the TI version.

Ah but you see clearly opposing imperialism is just as bad as supporting it, I’m such an enlightened centrist

- Comment on How come in movies tv shows books etc at court they make it seem like swearing on the bible prevents you from lieing? If my family or I was in danger I would lie my ass off to get out of it.. 2 weeks ago:
I mean have you seen any of the Phoenix Wright games? Or better call saul? Or honestly many form of media depicting lawyers blatantly lying to the judge and then getting sentanced to prison on the spot? (Yes I know that’s not even remotely realistic but most media isn’t)

Sounds great but I can guarantee no IT team wants to deal with this
- Comment on Homeland Security has reportedly sent out hundreds of subpoenas to identify ICE critics online 2 weeks ago:
I was referring to the less than one tenth of Americans who support socialism, yes that number is improving but sadly its not even a quarter yet

Less than a tenth of the country

Im currently at the point where I have such a presence on Matrix that I could genuinely delete my discord account
- Comment on I want a phone I can actually fix, and Fairphone’s record growth shows the world does too 3 weeks ago:
Fairphone is the sort of phone for people who think LineageOS with an unlocked bootloader is secure made by a company who has sincerely promised to make things better but hasn’t substantially improved security (especially in how often they push security patches). Grapheneos is not a brand name you can just apply to give a phone more reputation, its an OS that represents the highest standard of security.

That’s great and all but THE LAW DOESN’T MATTER ANY MORE WAKE UP PEOPLE
Our rights are being stripped away, we have officially transitioned away from a rule of law nation to rule by law. Its too late for peaceful protest and electoralism, now is the time for real action.

- Comment on Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch 5 weeks ago:
Secure boot verifies the system is booting correct code, verified boot can ensure total system integrity and can protect against tampering. Furthermore the Linux implementation of secure boot is very often in the least secure method.
- Comment on Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch 5 weeks ago:
Effectively speaking it doesn’t matter, if you cant set up a Windows PC without a Microsoft account that means for most people you cant use Windows without a Microsoft account, you’re being pedantic. Yes someone could type a million shell commands during install and then download a scetchy debloater script but at that point you might as well just install Linux if you’re that comfortable with the terminal.

Setup process now officially requires using a Microsoft account

That doesn’t make it the same thing
- Comment on Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch 5 weeks ago:
Daily reminder that verified boot is objectively superior to “secure boot”, once again a common Linux W and another example of Google actually promoting some good security practices
- Comment on Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch 5 weeks ago:
Objectively untrue
- Comment on YSK that no form of United States ID, no matter how valid, guarantees protection when ICE decides you look like an immigrant. 1 month ago:
100%, my family only came to this god awful country to escape the Holocaust before it began. I find it absolutely absurd that now we have decided to shut our border. Even crazier is they keep saying they want legal immigration yet they make it impossible to do so.
