It's not a different issue.
The security measures Google wants to take are fundamentally anti-competitive.
The current state of Android offers a "good enough" workaround.
That means if they want to push this security model, they need to do it SIMULTANEOUSLY with pro-competitive options that put alternative app stores on equal footing with Google Play.
Otherwise, yes lets push EU to give Android the Windows treatment, and in the US get another kino deposition with Sundar Pichai instead of Bill Gates.

I spent a good part of last year in China, and it was quite interesting to see how privacy isn't really even a thing they can conceive of. Like no one is meddling in the affairs of the day to day life of normal people, but I think there is a general understanding that you do not fuck with the government or try to get up to anything that could be destructive to the national order. It isn't so different here, but there is much less awareness of it. But yeah to your point, I think this new generation understand that everything they do and even everything they think can be tracked and recorded and they will never have privacy.

I love me some NAS but i feel like just putting 2-3 HDDs into your PC makes more sense for 90 percent of people and people justify a NAS because they want to consooooom

This. That being said the Malware angle makes me think having backup outside the PC might be a good idea. But can Windows Malware on my dualboot PC even encrypt my Linux BTRFS HDDs?

Difference is that NAS is independent and can be left on to do as you will. My PC in my room becomes "a client" and has effectively made my desktop lighter.

No, the joke is that *you* genuinely believed that's what I was trying to do - and probably still believe it, since by now you're far too invested in this narrative.
>Half of this is hyper specific and personal to me and you, has nothing to do with the license.
You're finally catching on. I disengaged from the actual topic completely, the moment you pulled out your strawmen and ad hominem... which, funny enough, later on you decided to accuse *me* of. The truth was, I just kept shitting in your mouth and you kept slurping it down, because you left yourself no other choice.

Anyway, you still enjoying yourself, 'nonymous?
>>
>>108421899
Invested? It's my opinion. There isn't much vestment behind it, it just kind of exists or whatever. It's a belief I hold.
You're trying to change that belief, that takes some investment in the ideals. All I have to do is read it and out of courtesy and/or recreation provide my feedback.

>No, the joke is that *you* genuinely believed that's what I was trying to do
If it's not clear, I don't have any idea what you're trying to do. Most of my posts are requests to be on topic or clarify.
No offense, but your intentions don't matter much to me. You're tugging my sleeve, and I'm talking to you. I don't think it's deeper than that. Is it?

>the rest
I'm having trouble parsing this one. I'm not sure if it's meant to be some kind of ironic thing or a caricature or what.

>enjoying yourself
Not really. It's very adversarial and awkward. It feels like I'm talking to a boy, or more apt, a boy is talking to me. And it's not clear why.
I originally assumed attention, and that's still my best guess.

If you're willing to defenestrate conventions, a basic OS (incl. programming languages and such) shouldn't be impossible to implement on hardware you can progressively tweak according to your needs, but you may as well forget about most modern hardware features unless you want the complexity to grow cancerous as it has done repeatedly in other systems, and lose your sanity in the process.
Realistically, however, you'll most likely have to implement the CPU and other components using FPGAs or CPLDs or whatever and perpetually tunnel the core network protocols over TCP/IP somehow for *inter*networking because, while a SoC could potentially be taped-out sometime in the distant future, no one's going to deploy a global networ/g/.
