Yeah I can't wait for the day that securing my privacy on my car cripples it to the same extent that disabling bloatware cripples my phones functionality (literally couldn't send/recoeve calls or texts or use any browser)
Doesn't seem far off with that Mozilla study honestly
Those two communities have 3 subs total, and two of them are me (just subbed now)
You should let people know that you actually mean enable developer settings and that's what's behind that link you provided because some might get turned off if they don't get your joke (of they don't know anything about it, how could they get the joke) and not even bother to open the link, assuming you actually mean they need developer skills or some sort of accreditation hehe
Because it's open source i.e. fully upgradable and repairable, and the mission behind the company is something I would want to support.
It's a prebuilt company that doesn't use proprietary garbage to force each and every customer to buy an entire new system when their original purchase starts to become obsolete.
I don't own anything from system76, I've built my own my whole life, but I still believe prebuilts should be for people who can't build their own, not a timeless and somehow socially acceptable way to scam your customer and still have them come back for more
Should learn yes, but are they? Who is teaching them? In my experience, many people who don't seem to think they know how to judge accurate information online.
They seem to go by how convincing it sounds and how smart the person sounds. So convincing pseudoscience is all it takes to have a bunch of people sure it must be legit and no one is really teaching them otherwise.
Amazon is feeding into this by taking advantage of peoples trust in large companies. People also seem to assume that well, it's amazon, they're a big global company, they must be trustworthy and thus most of what they sell is too.
I don't think that most people are even aware that alot of the things on amazon are from third party sellers either.
