Try getting Debian working on a laptop. Those "non-free" packages in Ubuntu make a huge difference. On servers, not so much difference. Well unless you are using k8s, etcd, juju and all that jazz

I don't think this is "calling home". Ubuntu has been pretty open with their "analytics", which are are really minimal (OS version + screen size + disk size + ...). And yes, they ask for consent. I think this motd i

I don't believe this is true anymore. Samsung has been updating S and Note series mark 9 & 10 to A10, which I assume is 80% of the US market?

The Android One releases from Google turned out to be less than stable. OEM realized they need a lengthy testing period to ensure proper quality. (Writing this on and Android One phone on A10 beta program)

So the Android release works like this: 1. Google releases the new version. 2. Recent pixel phones get it around the same day. At this point it's extremely buggy. For example, your phone may not be able to make calls or acess Internet.

But the kernel itself is GPLv3. Nevermind, let's agree to disagree

There are other companies selling Linux systems + hardware. Google, System 67, Asus, Dell, HP, Samsung, ... Note also that you can't install custom software on a Samsung smartwatch, but you can install Windows on a Mac.

No, I don't think completely different software "infect" each other this way. Consider this: Canonical ships Ubuntu which is based on the GPLv3 licensed Linux kernel. Yet their distribution contains all kind of software inclu

I don't think your interpretation of GPLv3 is correct. This is a standalone utility, is has nothing to do with the OS.

Well, Finland has in past been (1) invaded by Russia and (2) been targeted in disinformation campaigns. They know they will be the next ukraine if they don't watch out.

This is a horrible decision and is bad for developers everywhere.

Of course emacs did not "detect" your non-standard makefile. It is your responsibility to let editors know that, be adding that magical first line to your make.

But why would GPLv3 be a problem for Apple in this case? Is this a more political move?

I really don't understand his justification for such a significant modification: > Make leans heavily on the shell, and in the shell spaces matter. Hence, the default behavior in Make of using tabs forces you to mix tabs and spaces,

Actually, they are not. There are some really cheap ones in the series but the ones around 300-400 have been praised by most reviewers. (I don't work Samsung, don't even have a Samsung myself).

Since you mentioned Samsung, check out their A-series. They seems to be pretty affordable.

As horrible as this is, note that this one is mostly on Google. In particular, they force this on Android in order to map MAC address from any Bluetooth devices to physical locations. This allows then to track people even when they turn o

This was a really really bad excuse. There are many better ways to do this, for example why not ask users which country they are on? Or, I don't know, maybe let the app figure it out based on the phones configuration?

In general, vendors come up with their own solutions first and then switch to googles solution once that is mature enough. It's just how Android works and also why nobody releases (stable) os updates until 6-9 months after Google'

They do. Although Firefox too runs bad on rpi. Someone told me to use the successor of zram (can't remember its name) to get much better browser performance.
