i think we are mostly arguing that it has to be changed when this topic comes up. its not just nintendo and not just games though too.

here in south america they don't seem to be locking most of them.

granted, not all phones have an active developer porting an os to it.

the fact that its law doesnt necessarily mean the right or moral thing. just means lobbyists might have been paid for it.

locked bootloaders are still a thing mostly on the US.

over here having them locked is the exception, not the norm.

its good to remember computers were used mostly by the computer people back then.

now with layman using theses devices en masse, things are a bit different. they dont need the nerds ro have a successful product anymore.

i mean, yeah, but it might take a pretty good while.

i dont think this is commentary about phones, specifically. more like we work, machines play.

wrong choice of imagery by the artist perhaps

you cant exploit ai. you cant whip a gpu into performing better, and you cant pressure algorithms into being smarter for the same amount of money invested to develop and run it.

the (capitalist) system works by exploiting us. machines will throw a monkey wrench in it if it can truly replace our labour.

i wish they put trebuchet on fdroid/gplay.

its a clean functional foss launcher.

people will pick the corporate options that are shoved on their faces, not the sensible open source user-respecting ones.

vendor lockin will happen if we adopt passkeys as they are right now.

thats close to what i have been fucking saying and getting hate for.

so im glad someone has written it on a damn blog to legitimize it?
