Thanks, but I do not have an IT department. I am provided a computer for my use and at my discretion. I am essentially my own IT.
I am having trouble with Windows lately, and I believe that a new OS may help me be more productive, so it’s on me. I am not confident enough to eliminate Windows entirely in case it does not work out, hence the wish for dual-boot.


We need countries phasing OUT the death penalty, not new ones starting!


You can already use an open source OS on most phones. There are several options mentioned in the article. This is about the underlying firmware that controls the antennas, etc. According to the article, the project is focused on getting it working on “at least one phone.”
You are right that it’s a good idea to put an open source OS, especially on their phones. It’s an easy way to extend the lifetime of a useful device.


I remember experts saying 5 or 10 years ago that the increased standardization and centralization of the internet would lead to more frequent and widespread internet blackouts.
First AWS, and now this. It looks like they’re right.


Admirable, although it will take a long time just to reverse engineer a single device. Given how quickly phones change, even the same model from one generation to the next, it’s hard to see the long term or widespread impact.
But who knows? They may uncover a process through this project that makes it more efficient or provides new insights to make open source software and firmware even better.


Enraged? Yes. Surprised though?


What a pointless question. There’s literally nothing we could hope to learn from examining his specific DNA.
This is like how some scientist stole Einstein’s brain to see what made him so smart and didn’t find anything. Pointless.
The fact that this is being used as an argument against right to privacy is an ad absurdum strawman.
If you have a way to contact your friends, let them know where to meet you.😉


I think some of those are genetic.

It’s pretty depressing as an American that most news websites choose to not be available in Europe because they cannot pass basic privacy requirements.

Check the axis labels again. I think you may have glanced at it too quickly before replying.
I came up with the perfect solution to this but I didn’t write it down
Yet he opposes the mechanisms that would facilitate this, namely a wealth tax and Universal Basic Income (UBI).
Yes, technology - when democratized - can lead to better lives for people. When It is only capitalized, it tends to do the opposite.
