Stop using operating systems that don't respect software freedoms. I know it's a huge ask. But the best time to start dual booting is always now. Adobe abandoned linux flash long ago but I still can easily switch between multiple versions that are available on my whim.

- merrywhether 6y agoSome people want appliances, others want tools. For the people who want an appliance-like computing experience, this type of curation is exactly what they signed up for. For people who want a tool-like computing experience, then managing their own security situation is part of what they've signed up for. Neither side of this dichotomy is wrong (I know it's technically a spectrum...). While you sound like someone who views their computer as a tool, plenty of people don't. And I'm sure there are things in your life from which you expect an appliance-like experience as well, while other people may use tool-like versions of that same basic concept.

- superkuh 6y agoI use a Nokia 6030. It's not a smart phone. I don't carry it with me. When I do bring it I take the battery out and put it back in to receive or make calls.
- perryizgr8 6y agoYou seem to be serious about this, then.
