Yeah but everyone needs to use a cellphone in this day an age so if you don't want to be tracked like a sheep then a dumb phone with the microphone and camera removed will do the trick. They(3 letter agencies) can only track you to an

Hilariously we spent all that money on R&D and then the chinese hacked the pentagon to stole the designs and made their copy plane for the fraction of the price. It says alot about the military industrial complex. We'll be at war w

If the underlying hardware of the phone is compromised, then it doesn't matter what you run on top of it. I am not saying that you shouldn't try rattlesnakeos just that the people you would be installing it for, still have access

I agree that they should implement a language server but they do have an eclipse plugin[0] that they develop. It's very generous of them to do. [0]: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-eclipse

It's not though because they don't respect ip law so there's no incentive.

The banks profit the most when property prices go to these astronomical prices. People need to remember that they're are mostly paying interest each month. If taxes rises then property prices decrease in value and more money goes to pu

idk - do consumers really notice if a laptop is 30grams lighter or if it will get them through a full day of work and won't hurt the joints in their fingers after a marathon of typing. Apple makes the best laptop, no doubt but this lap

It seems like a business thing where thinness=money. Can't be from any other angle.

Classic case of why business managers shouldn't be directing design of a product. Business managers sees .2mm shaved off the thickness of macbook pro to 'justify' the premium cost of it over other laptops while a developer&#x

For all the craziness that trumps spews, he's actually pretty level headed about this. Why should USA settle for a trade deficit with China? They manipulate the value of their currency, walk all over our IP laws, and systematically des
