Big tech is hooked on having two revenue streams. One from product sales, one from customer information sales. Why would they willingly give one up?

Nope. Not a fascist state at all. /s

Pocket change for Google.

Burn it with fire. A conversation with my vacuum? Only if I am on LSD.

I can install Linux Mint much quicker than Windows, after it updates itself I have a compete working system with web browser, office suite, etc. Windows takes much longer, then additional software must be installed. For the average user, I maintain Linux is easier.

I've been using Linux since the 90's. Back then it was frustrating and really couldn't do much of what I needed done so I had to dual boot with Windows. These days Linux is (in my opinion) MUCH easier to use than Windows. It has been for a few years. The problem really is inertia. The vast majority of hardware is made to work with Windows. Linux does an amazing job of supporting hardware that was not designed to work with Linux, but will never be as seamless until hardware manufacturers support Linux at the same level as Windows. That day may be coming. The EU push for digital sovereignty could get hardware manufacturers to finally support Linux at the same level as Windows. As for Linux phones, they seem to be at the same point Linux OS was in the 90's. There is a lot of promise, but they still have a lot of development left to do. It is difficult for the community to support such projects when it will take many years to become mature. Again, I am hoping the EU will help as they try to break their dependency on American phone OSes. BTW, I am a supporter of open source. I donate annually.

Then I guess Linux is not one of the last bastions for the tinkerer.

Piss on everyone and wonder why they hate you? Go on, tell us why it is Biden's fault.

This is a tragedy! Monsanto won't be able to squeeze them for more money if they go out of business! Think of the large corporations!

And we have linked your erratic behavior to a brain worm.

Trump calls this "fake news" in 3...2...1...

For ALF?

Next, the Health department will be renamed the Department of Death.

The main problem with A.I. isn't that it can't be a useful tool, it is that the creators can't resist the urge to take the opportunity to hoover up every bit of data they can from the users. That and they are spending billions of dollars in A.I. creation. You don't spend that kind of money to help your employees do their jobs, you spend that money to replace your employees.

Anything Google has no privacy. Same with MicroSoft & Meta.

Glad it helped you.

I dream of a fully functional Linux phone. If one ever really hits the market, the carriers won't allow it on their networks. Too much money in stealing your data.

VPN, Visa gift card, Linux.

How much of the hardware and software you use must be registered, requires internet access to work, a proprietary app? You don't actually own anything that fits in those categories and they can be taken away from you at the manufacturer's whim.

There are a lot of apps that can be used for chat that are not on that list. ;-)
