...are you gatekeeping scam lore?

I use OpenVPN and not expose anything directly.

I went into my router settings and enabled it, then copied the profile over

My router supported it out of the box, then just install the OpenVPN connect client. Not sure how to do it otherwise

It's not a 1:1, but I use OpenVPN (I run my own home server), I gave one of my friends the profile and it works just fine. Pretty easy, imo

Morrowind and Oblivion into Skyrim, fallout 3/NV into 4 really opened my eyes into the enshittification before that was even a term I had read anywhere. It was a company who got too big for its breeches and thought it knew better..

A 401k is something, an account, I legally own. A pension is a promise.

The value of money is based on the market, all aspects of finance are based on economies. Even just a straight up savings account gradually devalues

We fucked up a species when we traded communities for economies.

Haven't most places moved to 401ks for this reason? I'd never participate in a pension and I imagine the vast majority of those working in the tech industry are smart enough not to as well

I could be wrong I'm basing all this on assumptions about others intelligence

If a business was actually losing money for 20 years straight then how does it continue to grow? Think about Amazon and how long it wasn't profitable despite being one of the largest businesses ever in recorded history.

It's a business scam that's a legal way of pay significantly less taxes than they normally would.

I mean

There was this whole thing called the Soviet Union then there was like a missile crisis

And there was like a group that called themselves National Socialists and they did a genocide and tried to take over a bunch of land by force

We also had to fight a bunch of talking trees that dug tunnels because military industrial complex and heroin

It's definitely many layers of propaganda but as an American I definitely understand WHERE it comes from, I understand why most people here flinch at the word.

You also gotta understand we had multiple generations in a row huffing lead gasoline so while younger millennials aren't impacted as bad, MOST Americans are legitimately lead brained.

The only reason I will disagree: there's already a major FOSS ecosystem on Android. There are tons of high quality free apps that aren't FOSS

Linux isnt even that popular on desktop, my point is that people will not move if their pre established software use case is not avaliable. I won't. I know many people who won't.

And if there aren't users, there won't be people making quality software to cover wide variety of usecases and get support, if there isn't quality software that covers a wide variety of use cases and get support there won't be users. You need to start somewhere, it's why the windows phone failed. No devs, so no users, and because no users, no devs.

Modified Linux kernel, but you very well know what people mean don't you

Linux phones will need to run established Android apps to get users, devs won't move where there is no users, users won't move there if there aren't apps. It's almost cyclical

Right now we're working with people who are exceptions to this, users who want to experiment and devs who don't care about money.

Steam offers many services to users and developers more than just being a simple storefront. They didn't become top dog by virtue of being early, there are plenty of competing launchers that do not offer even a tenth of what steam offers.
