This is unacceptable. And I’m sick of all the fucking workarounds to maintain basic privacy.

    You sure do. I don’t think you quite realize the possible implications.

    I absolutely do not. I don’t think you quite know what you’re talking about.

    Everyone? No. Ofc not. But most home users? Yes.

    I’m using Linux. I don’t care what “most home users” do.

    But it will work with Android, IOS, Windows. Big-tech trusted platforms

    We are talking about Linux. Do you not know what Linux is?

        I am not “being a shithead”. I am trying to have a discussion. You, on the other hand, are being extremely rude for absolutely no reason, so goodbye now.

      We are talking about Linux. Do you not know what Linux is?

      At this point I begin to think you are simply a troll.

      The point was that if those OSs work for the things normal ppl want to do, and Linux doesn’t, then most ppl won’t consider Linux as a viable platform, and will not use it. Under that possible future.

      I’m using Linux. I don’t care what “most home users” do.

      But you asked, and I am quoting you exactly,

      So you think everyone will just abandon free software?

      My answer was to your question. It was not about YOU personally. You asked about “everyone”, so I answered. You are welcome to not care what most ppl want. But the capability to deny your linux machine so much as basic network connectivity can happen. If you want to yank the network cable and use it in your house, and you are happy with that, then great.

      If you want to engage in a non-troll manner, that’s fine. But I will not reply to troll type responses any further.

        Funny, I was just thinking the same.

        The point was that if those OSs work for the things normal ppl want to do, and Linux doesn’t,

        Why wouldn’t it?

        But you asked, and I am quoting you exactly,

        I did no such thing.

        It was not about YOU personally. You asked about “everyone”,

        In order for me to not use it, it would have to be abandoned by everyone. That was my point.

          We literally had a whole thread about it, which you refused to participate in because “my machine works for me right now”

          It’s fine, whatever, if this is who people on this planet are then we’ve already fucking failed as a species
