  Not even that, he depends on their system so won’t leave it. His job depends on their software so he is tied to it and won’t make any real effort to get away from it.

  I don’t agree, tech reporter who depends on certain tech for his job will continue advocating for that tech because it’s how he gets paid. Tech savvy my arse.

  I think that could get really expensive. Also pedo’s have a habit of getting into trusted authority, how do you keep them out? They can’t even get those people out of the office of the president of the US.

  I have Ubuntu touch installed on my pixel 3a xl. On the phone i can install waydroid with gapps which will allow you to install googleplay store. You should be able to run those apps, i don’t use googleplay store though so your experiences may vary, just installed it to see if i could… All i can say is give it a go. There are some other phones on the market you could buy and try it out.

  On Ubuntu Touch i installed waydroid through the openstore then in terminal i had to use this command to run waydroid with gapps. sudo waydroid init -f -s GAPPS good resource on waydroid docs.waydro.id

  It’s good, no annoying UI gotchas, never had a problem with calling/receiving/texts. Waydroid works great using F-Droid/Aurora store.

  If it had an unlocked bootloader where i could install ubuntu touch i’d buy it. Otherwise naw.

  That’s the thing, with a free operating system you can do whatever the fuck you want. The best games coming out are indie developers and they can target hardware people have. We can wait them out.

  I have a linuxbox with decent hardware that i can squeeze 4 years out of still, a steamdeck, and steamframes soon. I’ll be good for quite a while, long enough to ride out the AI slop-bubble

  They aren’t the only ones:

  Canada’s Approach to Cloud Services in the Public Sector Proposed Ban on American Cloud Services

  The Canadian government is considering a ban on American cloud services for public sector use. This move is part of a broader strategy to enhance data sovereignty and protect sensitive information from foreign access. The intention is to ensure that Canadian data remains under Canadian control, especially in light of concerns regarding the U.S. CLOUD Act, which allows U.S. authorities to access data stored by American companies, even if that data is located in Canada. Implications of the Ban

  Data Sovereignty: The ban aims to strengthen Canada's data sovereignty by ensuring that sensitive government data is not subject to U.S. laws.
  
  Economic Impact: This decision could impact the relationship between Canadian and American tech companies, potentially limiting options for public sector cloud services.
  
  Infrastructure Development: Canada may need to invest in developing its own cloud infrastructure or partner with non-American companies to meet public sector needs.
  

  Current Status

  As of now, discussions are ongoing, and the government is evaluating the legal, operational, and technical implications of such a ban. The definition of “sovereignty” in this context is still being refined, and the government is considering how to balance security with the need for effective cloud services.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Hardware Announcement⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Calm down dude, you have to admit there is a big difference between a 152mm x 158mm cube and a pc tower, they can be quite large. Mine is 54cm tall, 58cm long, 9cm wide.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah they said they are pricing the Steam Machine at PC market prices, but they do having to contend with reality. There are consoles on the market that are more powerful at a lower price point, it will dampen their sales for sure. I mean most pcgamers probably have more powerful hardware already, what is the incentive? Sure small form factor, but is it worth a premium price to the average pcgamer? Console peasants will turn their noses up at it, so who are they marketing to?

  I can see the Steam Frames selling better due to it being a fully untethered VRPC headset that can play more than just VR games. Not to mention you can stream from a more powerful PC to the frames making the battery last much longer and better gfx fidelity.

  The Steam Controller has to contend with a flooded market of users used to using one type of controller, so a little bit of an uphill battle there too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Hardware Announcement⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The cube is not a pc tower, it is a small box that can sit on a shelf.
