That’s just so wrong-headed. How else do you expect billionaires to monetize every aspect of our lives?

Easy mistake. The M stands for Moron, not mother.
The idea that Linux is not susceptible to malware is a really dumb take, in my opinion. I work in security and see Linux machines get popped all the time. Also, wine is good enough that malware will run under it.
Thanks, I will definitely check out both of those
I’ll take a look at that, thanks. It’s been a year or so since I last looked at it but back then there was a push button that you could use but I couldn’t get it going.
Privacy issues aside, for wider adoption the user experience needs to be better. Most people don’t want to be a sysadmin for their house, they just want to live in it.
Yeah, that’s why I said I’m very hopeful. It says so in my comment.
Sure, but if I had a Pi (or similar board) with a speaker and a mic, I’d hope to be able to do the same thing. A Pi Zero would definitely be able to do the job.
I’ve dabbled a little with it, but I really want something that’s as easy to use & set up as the commercial offerings like Google Home and Amazon Echo. I want to have an interface where I can connect my light bulbs, and have little hockey pucks that will listen for a wake word and do what I ask of it, and play my music. I also want to be able to get under the covers and do something that solves an odd problem that might come up.
I’m very hopeful for the project and I do think it will get there eventually.
I used to work at Merrill Lynch, we had a Linux desktop pilot. We were an 80k company but had less than 1k users in the program, and most of us were capable of self-support.
It’s definitely doable at scale especially since most apps are web based these days, but there certainly is a retraining effort needed for support, and Windows would still be there. For most organizations, that’s not worth the effort.
God-tier shit post. I hope this becomes legendary copypasta.
A lot of TVs these days won’t start working without wifi. I set up a temporary ssid, set up the TV then delete it.
What I’m talking about has nothing to do with the line protocol. Each client has encryption key pairs. The public key of the first party shares it with the other parties, and vice versa. If it’s encrypted with the public key then the private key can decrypt it.
If Meta gets the private keys, they can decrypt any message they want independent of whatever protocol is being used.
Meta could easily have the WhatsApp client upload decryption keys to their servers without any notification to the user.
Floppies were very rewritable, but the distro wouldn’t fit on a single one.
For the same reason I had to buy a stack of floppies to install it in the 90’s
Fairly accurate except that Wine predates Codeweavers. They do contribute to Wine but Codeweavers did not make Wine.
Malware for Linux is a thing. I see it every day.
Wasn’t there something similar about the name Meta and nothing came of that either?
My Subaru EV has this. They just call it enhanced cruise control. I mean, that’s what it is. It also monitors for driver inattentiveness.
