- kick 7y agoProprietary surveillance company is okay with manufacturers creating proprietary drivers to be used for surveillance. Shocking.
- Polylactic_acid 7y agoProbably because desktop users expect their hardware to continue to work for a long time and to keep up with OS updates. For mobile people have been conditioned to accept throwing away and buying a new device every 2 years.
- dTal 7y agoRather cheeky to urge the Linux developers to change their ways so that Google can continue to profit off GPL violations.
- MaxBarraclough 7y agoThanks for mentioning the elephant in the room. Is there a reason the Linux folks don't do something about this? If I were them I wouldn't be happy seeing my licensing terms treated like a joke.
