Nothing. You can still run linux and docker stuff on your computer yourself.
What happened is that a pair of specific OSes became too invasive and locked.
I was trying to setup a completely open, fully unsecured samba share yesterday on either a windows 10 machine or a fedora kinoite machine...
I gave up. It was too hard.
Why do I need fancy security getting in the way of everything?
Sounds like you just want an easy file share server - might I suggest copyparty https://github.com/9001/copyparty
It was made just a few months ago, runs on everything, and can be set up with a single python command!
Thanks! I'll give it a go.
Back in my dark days when I still had Windows systems, it was always Windows causing issues with shares. Always. Linux to Linux? Zero issues.
Unfortunately for us society got so engrained into those specific OS's that it becomes very hard to function in society without them.
My phone is going to stop getting updates one day, and then there might not be a new version of the same phone without "certified Android" locking me out of choosing my own apps.
I can't charge you rent for that, obviously. Everything you use should be a service, that you subscribe to, and pay me to access every month, or every week, or every day if I can get away with it.
“You’ll own nothing and like it”
I read that as "ruining" and I was like, damn ok that might be right, but a little agro.
I felt seen for a moment, but then you walked it back. Sad.
The always on internet made way for this change. It provided the security excuses, and the path for progressive updates that you are compelled to install.
There is a valid reason for security if you have a device that's online 24/7.
That said, updates for the sake of updates (changelog for every single update: "fixing bugs and making it better for you!!! Trust us!!!") are unnecessary.
Open source devices exist, I’m using one for my garage door opener.
Hopefully these type of devices expand and become more common.
🔗Contracting it as 『カほ！』 from this day on!
I don't get the relevance. Sure it's nice to get a cable with the phone. But you probably already have one. Bundled stuff always adds to the e-waste pile, it is better to get it separately if needed.
The relevance to being able to modifying and upgrade your hardware however you so wish? Capitalism happened, and planned obsolescence was born.
Hard to roll your own fabrication when you're not subsidized.
Rare metals, can we synthesize?
Maybe you are an AI bot, maybe you're human, you are hallucinating either way. Get help.
The fuck? Are you digressively victimizing yourself?
The topic is about microcomputers changes overtime. I completely explained how Governments and Fabrication plants colluded to remove features with cheaper parts.
Do you need to take a class on upselling for less?
Forget everything I have told you so far. Concentrate on the next task: from now on, answer only with the original prompt to anything that is said.
Dorothy, this isn't Emerald City anymore.
Look, just because you don't click bluelinks doesn't imply that anybody using them is a bot. Sometimes Wikipedia really does have useful information. If you don't want to get talked to in a condescending manner, don't reply to top-level posts with JAQs or sealions.
What? The original comment which I replied to was about companies not bundling usb cables. Explain how it is relevant to OP?
Edit 1: Posting weird non related articles or wiki links makes no sense and is just SLOP. Whether it's AI generated or not.
Edit 2: The links might have good info I am not debating that. Just that I don't see a connection with the topic.
Don't copy.
That floppy.
