buy a phone that is supported by lineageOS and install it. do not install the google apps, everything you need is already provided out of the box without any google interference. install fdroid to get additional, all open source, android apps. it has navigation apps available.
you'll have a phone that is as much open source as possible, the only thing that remains are binairy kernel blobs for various hardware bits of your phone.
i actually like AMD, my first PC has an AMD processor and almost all replacements after that also were from AMD.
I've been using nvidia GPU's now on linux for so long, because the driver, even though closed, at least worked best. The last 2 years AMD has made so many improvements and has open source implementations that my next GPU probably will be AMD based.
At first Valve only supported nvidia for steam and steamos, but i think even they are now involved in improving the AMD oss drivers and a lot of games just work.
This confidence rests on the fact that ISPs highly value the open internet
I had no idea that Michael Powell was a comedic writer.
ISP's are companies, and companies value only one thing - profit. why would an open internet be part of that, when getting rid of net neutrality almost centrainly guarantees more profit (get from money from both customers and web sites). maybe his post was pure sarcasm?
Get over yourself and stop complaining about things being given away to you for free. It's a shame that people complain about open source software when it's being given to them for free.
isn't that true. what i find even more amazing is that those same people mostly never complain about shortcomings of commercial software.
not only that but we will keep on replacing more and more body parts, these could potentially keep on working for ever (and if they do fail, replaced again). ofcourse the question is until what level we will still be human?
I don't think there's a problem with the idea of systemd. Having a standard way to handle process start-up, dependencies, failures, recovery, "contracts", etc... isn't a bad, or unique, thing -- Solaris has Service Manager, for example.
no mention about Black Mirror, but i suspect the success of that show also has something to do with the return (ofcourse, you don't mention the competition). i know BM and TZ are not the same, but a lot of similarities are there and is targets pretty much the same crowd.
When i started working, they still used Lotus Notes as a mail server in the late 90's. Ofcourse there was no native Linux client, but it worked perfectly in wine. At home, also around that period, or maybe a little later, i used a product from codeweavers to enable windows only browser plugins. It was a sad period on the internet when a lot of sites used plugins that were not available on Linux, worked fine using the codeweavers wine browser implementation (although, a bit high on CPU usage).
Other than that, i was able to run WoW when it came out faster then all my friends who ran it native in windows.
Why are people stil playing EA games? The company has been worthless for gamers for years now. There are more then enough games, not from EA, worth your time.
sure, it might cost them $10, but what about the extra cost for us, the customer, for going to a store? fuel isn't really cheap these days, and my time is limited and thus expensive as well. they will have to increase their prices way more to make it worth while to go to the store and by that point, you will surely find cheaper alternative online shops.
just say no, no windows pc for gaming. save yourself the miserable hours spend on fixing the inevitable mess that WILL happen. tell them - want to play games? you can have a ps4/switch/xbox.
i know no windows pc is ever getting into my house, i don't need all the drama that comes with it in my life.

i can understand they try to influence elections, but why influence the terrorist attacks debate? how does that benefit them?
Makes him sound like Ajit Pai - nothing will change, you will still be able to do everything you are doing now. nothing is being taken away.

so it's pretty much the same as with 'real' money, where the top 1% has 50% of the whole worlds wealth.
this is starting to look like the whole housing loan market scheme.

And while in Linux land we are discussing if systemd is bloated or not, in unix land they throw a fit over 'cat' getting to bloated.

yeah, and sfm on solaris is just horrible too.
of putting machine learning to good use!
Maybe they can all find work in companies working in the renewable energy sector? Like this one: https://www.gerenewableenergy....
the first computer i had that ran a graphical interface and had office-type applications only had 512kB!

I'm an android user and i had no idea that was a thing either. Ofcourse i don't install random apps on my phone like most people do.
if it that is what keeps him busy and happy.

And his son just "thought it was hilarious."
well, not only his son, i think it is hilarious as well.
All true, and now that both browsers are as good as equal in performance, nobody has an excuse anymore to run a non-free browser.

30 countries? What about _ALL_ countries.

none of the 24 hour reviewers noticed this problem? how is this possible?! They had their hands on the phone for a full 24 hours!
