> Traditional Linux distributions don't have a standard set of core components or configuration Huh? Of course they do. A standard set of components and configuration is at the core of (most) OS distributions.

Well, they're not improving people's security overall by limiting themselves to Google's hardware.

You should not distribute apps via the Google Play Store. Using alternative means, including F-Droid as relevant. And it was a mistake of you to register, because you're helping Alphabet exert more pressure and control on others.

That's not a reason. When the hardware doesn't have those "security features", then don't "really secure", just run without being "really secure". I never treat my (Android) phone as secure anywa

The temerity of Alphabet to claim to protect users from malware/spyware, when they are known to share all of your personal information and communications with the US government (Snowden revelations), is the epitome of hubris. And, also

These people are charging for the f'ing IP! They won't let you just use the design, they want to profit off of you paying them royalties.

The ADL is a rather discredited pro-Israel organization. It reports protests of Israel and of Zionism as "anti-semitism". Here's a link to a documentary about it from 2009: http://www.defamation-thefilm.com/

First - nice writeup which goes into a lot of nooks and crannies. That said, a lot of the user-space "voodoo" is gone if you don't go through CUDA's "runtime API". If you use the driver API, take your kernel so

That is quite true. Or rather - it's true unless the recently-signed agreement will remain as words on paper (which may well be the case). It should also be mentioned that the Lebanese army did not lift a finger to try to keep Israel f

That is likely indeed the case (although it's more complicated, because even the "closure" has had the exception in the form of transit in coordination with Iran etc.) - but how does that have any bearing on what I wrote?
