I can see the alure of having a very secure mobile device and can understand why you personally wouldn't see a reason to use anything else. But Graphene requires too much fidling to get spouse approval. /e/ might not be as se

Weird way to promote the /e/ project. Your first sentence and that last link are practically at war with each other.

Well, for one you can actually buy an /e/ device right now. Also, once you have it, it just works. Some people like that.

I see a lot of this sentiment amongst developer friends but I never could relate. Its not that I'm against it or something but it just doesn't move me personally. Most things I create in my free time are for my and my family'

Are you talking about the "engineer talked to a customer and now both are mad at each other" trope? While I have seen this happening it usually has nothing to do with engineers and more with that fact that talking to customers and

Exactly my point. All that (and all the other things needed) did not just materialize out of thin air. It took decades and dozens of failed protests to get to that point.

So what is the argument here? That it is irrelevant because there is no critical mass? Do you think the French revolution happened in isolation?

Isnt that a bit dangerous in its own? If the merge process can complete without conflicts being resolved, doesnt it just push the Problem down the road? All of a sudden you have to deal with failing CI or ghost features that involve multipl

That has roughly been my MO as well and it works great for groups where identities have settled. But one has to keep in mind that, in our currwnt "more woke" times, if you go this way in a new group you run the risk of being label

Afaik, It was lobbies and conservative goverents that chose to put the question up to the "free market", completely disregarding the fact that the competing geographies where heavily subsidizing those industries.

No it is not. Anything combustion related certainly isn't, as has been proven ad absurdum. All non BEV non combustion alternatives are, optimistically phrased, in their infancy. So yes, BEVs are the future for the next 20-40 years at a

Its not only the automotive lobby to be fair. Lobbies also moved Germany out of solar panel production, batteries and lately heat pumps. So yeah, the legacy industry lobbies are the problem but not exclusively the automaker ones.

That's a problem for the "many" then to sort out. Everyone else that wants to own their media just uses Automatic Ripping Machine.

Indeed. And not only do they focus on this but the execution is just so beautifully spot on. As others have mentioned it might even get too spot on on occasion.

I don't see how it qualifies as a legitimate download or ownership. You cannot save the file to a disk you control and you have no way to ensure you have continued access to it. Apple or the IP holder can cause this "download&quot

Hmm, weren't dotfiles invented just for that reason? I'm joking but on a more serious note, installing a shell as a default shell seems more complicated than copying over your .bashrc
