- XorNot 10mo agoThe headline post here is about a user having to exercise an incredible amount of effort to remove features they don't want but which the vendor will deliberately reinstall despite user preference.
- tkel 10mo agoYeah, this makes sense, in a world where the things sold to you are produced by profit-maximizing capitalists. If the company were instead owned by the users, such as a consumer co-operative, then its products would serve the interests of its users.
- HeavyStorm 10mo agoDefine own. Because you barely own the hardware. Everything else you are granted temporary licenses that can be revoked without warning.
