Root doesn't mean you give root permissions to any dumb app. I implied proper permission management and authorization, of course. Then it's just like a secure castle where the user can go into all of the rooms, to some with a spec

Cloud is other people's computers. So, get your own server, or use someone's you trust. or use e2e encryption.

Why would having root itself rule out secure boot? It's just that they refuse to offer root themselves, and only as a result of that refusal one has to use system modifications to gain root. In a sense this is the opposite of your clai

As if an app should have any say about if it can be backupped or not. 'Muhh security model'. If your security model includes letting apps randomly deprives me as a user of backups of my own phone , it's just another creepy

"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." Well, the claim that consciousness cannot be an emergent phenomenon strikes me as a much more extraordinary claim, and thus the burden of evidence is clearly on those. I suspe

I don't have to run everything as root. I just need the option to easily run something as root when I choose to. An option that is denied to me on those walled garden phone OSes.

For the 1000th time: just don't use those sideloaded apps. Nobody is forcing you to install Facebook or any other trendy app of the day except your own weakness and childishness. The argument goes the other way for actual adults: curre

One reason more to not keep cats as pets. Stop breeding them, an the problem will solve itself within some years

And do not show them off, in order not to entice others to buy.

I feel this is a false dichotomy. If we really stop breeding pets, and do this consequently and with an honest effort, this will become a non-issue in, like, 10 years.

Oh, I do derive emotional value from eating meat. Since when is this an argument?

by summm 5y ago
No. We should just stop breeding pets altogether, and all these moral problems will just solve themselves in a few years.

If a dog has a violent temperament, training is nice but eventually irrelevant. It should just never be kept in a neighborhood where humans live, or where it has any chance of coming close to any human. Instead it should be kept in a fence

By showing them publicly, in your neighbourhood, and in social media, and by defending pets you are normalizing and encouraging pet ownership, encouraging others to keep pets as well, and thus indeed fueling that cruel industry. It's a

Yet practically all pet owners use and exploit their pets emotionally. The term "pet loves you unconditionally" used as an argument for pets is revealing: They are mostly kept to give the owner a feeling of being loved, which is m

This is a fake argument. Owners of carnivores happily feed meat of numerous chicken, pigs and cows to their pets. Keepers of free-roaming cats accept that each of those kills 100 birds and rodents per year.

Livestock only lives for some months before slaughtering. Just keep slaughtering while not breeding new ones, and after a few months there will be no livestock left.

There is this popular meme that pet ownership is inherently good and makes owners morally superior. Hint: That is factually wrong. But it leads people to deceive themselves. And as long as this holds, pets will be bred to meet the demand, p

If you buy a phone without a microsd slot that is exactly your own fault. They are still available. But tend to get less, because people think it's uncool and buy phones without, but 2 years later they whine about too small storage...

Sony did this to themselves multiple times. Because they always had done other division they wanted to not cannibalize, or some Not-Invemted-Here. E.g them too long using memory stick instead of sd cards.

NiMH have 1.2v instead of 1.5. That ist sometimes a problem for cheaper devices that don't have a good voltage regulator. For example Flashlights are notably dimmer.
