Off to a non-US instance. Goodbye, and thanks for all the fish.

  • Not an actual lock-in as they (still) provide tools to cross-compile and the source is (still) available, more like a vendor push-out if you insist.

  • I can imagine that theirs is safer and more suited for targeted devices. Linux is extremely generalistic and has a ton of cruft.

    For targeted devices so is Gentoo. Their edge is having access to proprietary drivers.

    But I have never looked at their code or tried to port a Linux app to Android. The #Krita devs might have some insight here.

    If it's written in portable C you can use the Android NDK/SDK to cross-compile it for the 4 archs they support. I do it at work.

  • glibc is key here, it's what most linux distros use. One of Google's vendor-lock moves was to start using their own libc implementation, making it incompatible with everything else.

  • The only thing linux about android is the kernel, i wouldn't call that a linux distro and it's not even compatible with any others.

  • XFCE for the aforementioned reasons and not depending on gnome. Xmonad otherwise.

  • Oh yeah, the foundation for docker and vagrant.

  • I read pagers for a sec and was confused... then again, god is the biggest mass murderer of all time.

  • You mean turtles don't hold the world?

  • they replaced the hat with a snowflake?

    As someone from the global south i find the snowflake in winter offensive!

  • Isn't capitalism a religion?

  • Aren't most government organizations interlinked?

  • Assuming they don’t already have all your internal data

    A devotee of Our Lady of Assumption, i see.

  • If they can keep the MS lobbyists out, it's feasible, just ask Munich.

  • May well be very interesting but is marked as an english post...

  • No. Maybe. Why not?

  • from various consumer advocacy groups, corporations, and governments

    because people are demanding it.

    Are they though? Also, r/whatever is a community, not the community. But everyone's entitled to an opinion...

  • I'm hoping on the latter, quite the setting for a Rockstar videogame of older times.
