I follow the “buy a Windows computer, install Linux, and slap an Apple sticker on it” school of thought. If it’s an Android phone, I would recommend using another Apple sticker.
That’s not very far in the future, so it’s going to be really exciting to see how that works out.
Looking forward to it, but won’t be disappointed if it takes a bit longer than expected.
Basically anyone can get banned by Google.
The way I see it, Germany built the right amount of solar power, but not enough gird energy storage.
“People do not always accept what you say. Then those conversations can be very annoying.”
That’s because the doctor assumes it’s a debate where facts and logic matter. Spoiler: it isn’t.
Delusional BS is often connected with emotional matters. What wasn’t originally reasoned in, can’t be reasoned out of someone’s head.
Regardless of the origin, I totally agree with the gatekeeper part. Linux should be for everyone, and elitism isn’t helping.
I agree with you for the most part, but you omitted the symbiotic (or even mutualistic) relationship users and platforms have. For example, Google provides a video platform, and user provide the videos. Such a transaction comes with a contract we all neglected to read, but accepted regardless. As far as the contract is concerned, both parties should be fine with this situation. Nobody is stealing anything.
Obviously, this situation has quite a few problems, and the Fediverse addresses many of them. However, self hosting text, audio and video doesn’t happen for free, just like Google can’t run their servers for free. Either you pay directly to the devs and admins, or you find other creative ways to make money flow. That’s where the Fediverse and commercial platforms differ greatly.
