If they play their cards right, they might destroy Microsoft.

FIFA will be so happy

Yes, even if you are using it you are not the owner and do not control it; any corporate laptop is an untrusted device at home.

I have two AppleTVs and while they are great at what they do, I won’t buy another. The reason is that they are still locked down to what Apple allows you to do. Want to watch YouTube? Your only realistic option is Google’s app, complete with ads. If you connect a real computer to the TV, you have significantly more control over what’s going on, but you may lose some of the convenience of a dedicated TV device. Hopefully with things like the GabeCube, more Linux OSes will be dedicated to big screen TV use.

Plus the point is that you can replace the AppleTV with mostly whatever you like (some CEC functionality notwithstanding), and don’t use the TV’s own OS or apps for anything.

Oh dear, things have worsened since I last looked, including 29 EU states just late this year.

I decided to never return to the US after they brought in mandatory fingerprinting. It’s progressed so much further now. Land of the free*

Here’s what I mean, in an excerpt from the Internet Manipulation section of Wikipedia’s article on Disinformation.

Internet manipulation is the use of online digital technologies, including algorithms, social bots, and automated scripts, for commercial, social, military, or political purposes. Internet and social media manipulation are the prime vehicles for spreading disinformation due to the importance of digital platforms for media consumption and everyday communication. When employed for political purposes, internet manipulation may be used to steer public opinion, polarise citizens, circulate conspiracy theories, and silence political dissidents.

That’s everybody’s business.

While we may weigh up the pros and cons of these tools, it’s a start to recognise that there are significant social risks here that shouldn’t be dismissed out of hand.

Others are using it on us. Can you understand why we prefer it stays down?

Tell the people using it ON us to stop then.

Johnson, it’s perfect. Fire me immediately.

We need real choice of operating system when buying phones. The situation is far worse then Windows bundling Internet Explorer and they actually took action on that.

Still working on my backlog of 10 year old games…

FWIW that’s the same as Windows.

As a chaos monkey, I haven’t broken this atomic distro in a few years. It usually takes me less than a year to break my distro’s package system beyond my comprehension (or something equally important, but it’s usually the packages).

If one came with Valetudo pre-installed (or installation was officially supported), I would be very interested.

You think Nextcloud is a linux desktop app?

Anyway, on https://nextcloud.com/partners/ for example you could talk to…
