so.. android is based on linux, right?

so i can use the terminal on android, so i can run a VM with linux?

linux in linux.

i mean sure - i see the possibilities that this opens up but i also dont see why i'd want to do that - on a phone.

i am looking forward to the terminal though - sounds juicy!

people choose consoles over pcs for comfort

people choose pc for its capabilities (and for some, a different kind of comfort)

people choose vr for the experience only - and it can get old quite quickly because the market is too small - not enough 'content'

a device that constantly connects to antennas all over the place, is used to track your location.

who would have thought?

if you dont wanna get tracked - dont bring your phone.

im not TOO surprised.

they're a non-profit company after all. they're not political activists etc.

that said, it hardly matters, because its open source.

Trump is leading the polls.

so if you currently think "im not gonna vote", then you're giving trump a head start

A majority of the non-voters are more likely to vote for the democrats. thats also why the republicans are making it as difficult as possible to vote. coz they know, the more who vote, the less likely they are at winning

I think in my country that's called "Stemmespild"

which basically means wasted-vote.

if a political party wants to enter the parliament, they gotta get at least 2% of the votes. so if you vote for one of the very unpopular parties and they only get ~1.5% you've effectively wasted your vote completely (This is how it works in my country - of course things are different in the US)

This is a good idea.

Honestly, it really is. Lots of people prefer a specific browser, for different reasons. And a lot of people use more than 1 browser as well.

It could be similar to the 'choose your search engine' was supposed to help against googles monopoly (in eu) https://i.imgur.com/3wS6Sai.png

however i dont see this coming to windows or macos, because of those companies focus on being the only company in the world. but this could easily be used on linux. (even though most users of linux prefer firefox, i'd guess)

Indeed

i am not spending a fucking dime on anything that Elon Musk earns money on

i even deleted my twitter account when he bought it

But, even though Elon is an ass, the way tesla handles repairs on their cars, makes me not want to own one anyway. I wanna just use my local mechanic. Not exclusively teslas own
