preach it, the capture of people into software ecosystems is getting so out of hand. I was thinking about microsoft vs apple, and while they do the same shit at least it seems to work well lol

I hadn't either until last night. From what I gathered it disables the installation of any softwares that don't come from the microsoft store i.e. .EXE files for programs that were downloaded from the browser. Getting out of S mode is as easy as creating a microsoft account. I had no interest in that for a variety of reasons.

I think its rad that both exist. Fight me. I swap between the two constantly. Sometimes I buy/sell etsy type shit. Sometimes I buy/sell Escobar type shit. If all bigwig companies/politicians had to transact on a public ledger- good. If my broke ass can transact privately and immutably- also good. Some transactions, for the betterment of the world, should be public- and conversely, mine should be private lol

They can ban all they'd like. To your point it seems tantamount to stating that crime is illegal.

I model all of my UI choices off of old(er) school windows. I have a bar, the menu is left. I was a pirate before anything and I learned on windows. There was a point where it made sense that the world used it, I think that time has passed. I really am such a pleb that hardware issues only effect me if it doesn't work. In this I guess I am saying that the freedom to abuse and break my hardware is important. I don't want to sell my soul or be told "no". install the program, I know it was written for windows. I don't want a microsoft account.

Edit: my drunk ass had said older(er)

I'm a waiter, that one Saturday could be 25% of my monthly income. It should be a national holiday

I'd look into graphene or calyx, they're privacy oriented android roms. the websites have lists of supported devices. I usually get a refurbished pixel a few generations old and use it until it literally falls apart

I'm worried this may take longer than a head of lettuce will allow.

As an american, please don't enable our crazy fascist cucks by electing your own. You guys deserve better.

I used to be super anti-gun growing up, but here in Arizona and other red States specifically it seems like you're in a sort of arms race by default. The nutters aren't giving theirs up so it seems kinda naive not to have your own and know how to use them.
