  • How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027)

  • I would say this is one of the things EU is doing quite a good job.

    It would be difficult making Linux de facto illegal in EU. It could happen but most likely it won't.

  • Most of them do do calls, though.

  • Your username is now public and hereditary like a surname. How much do your kids hate you?

  • This is basically what happened in the Netherlands in the past.

    I once met a woman whose family name was Boschpijper. Bosch means bush and pijper means dicksucker.

    Those nicknames were kind of a joke, but then they followed in official records, but nobody cared. Then, after some generations of them having been written down, they were suddenly something important. And now the family of Boschpijpers have carried their name with pride for several centuries.

  • I had a Windows Phone, and almost all apps in their app store cost money. And were often of uselessly bad quality anyway. People didn't want to risk it paying even 7€ for an app that will end up being crap.

  • Most of servers run Linux, and servers are just computers.

  • Has Fairphone failed in this regard, in your opinion?

  • 40 (or plus) y/o virgins, why are you still virgin?

  • The point of kissing is that human cheeks have more pheromones than most parts of the human body. When you kiss someone, your nose almost unaboidably ends up near that other person's cheek. When you sense the other person's pheromones, you will feel good or very good or, seldom, repulsive, depending on how different the person's immune system is from yours or how close a relative the person is.

    The part with lips touching each other is actually mostly irrelevant, but because people generally don't know the actual point of why our species likes kissing, that's the way they get their noses positioned correctly.

    I would imagine that if you are as completely asexual as you say, you probably won't feel much anything when kissing unknown people.

    I guess kissing your parents' cheeks has felt nice in your childhood, though? It's also about pheromones, but of course not the same ones as with a romantic partner, so the feeling is different and maybe possible for you to feel?

  • Linux Tablet?

    Jump

  • What you're looking for is PostmarketOS. On their website you can also see what tablet devices it runs on more or less perfectly and on which ones some of the features are missing.

    I think their website answers all of your questions.

  • Writing was invented before reading.

  • There may also have been a series of simple pictures that someone had put next to each other, then someone else figuring out "hey, if I make the symbols simple enough and draw a lot of them, I can actually record stories completely accurately!"

    In that case, the reading would come first, as the reader would be the first one to interpret the simplistic images as text.

  • What in your country/area is totally normal but visitors get excited for?

  • That's not because of an organization trying to make Finland ignore the EU legislation using strategies that then cause us to run headlong against a wall, though.

  • This was because PalPa, the company responsible for maintaining Finland's recycling system was (and is) a corrupt heap of shit.

    It's owned by the largest breweries and they used it for keeping smaller and foreign companies out if business. You couldn't get a right to use Finnish bottles –> You had to pay a steep punishment tax for using non-recyclable bottles.

    They successfully argued that washing bottles from that many sources would be impossible to organize, so the EU required PalPa to start accepting crushable PET bottles, which are easy to produce without any active coöperation by PalPa.

    PalPa(...tine?) was hoping that they could still somehow block this from happening, so they framed the change as Evil EU forcing Finland to stop washing bottles. And when the PET bottles were indeed accepted in the end, they dismantled the whole bottle washing system in Finland so that they wouldn't be held accountable for their lies.

    So, it's the same thing that happened to our regional bus network (vakiovuorot), basically. And what's currently happening to our railways.

  • In a way yes, probably. But at the same time, it means you have one less awesome thing to enjoy on this planet.

  • If what they taught us about checks and balances was a lie maybe what they taught us about civil disobedience was a lie too.

  • They're also not trying to suggest any tactics

    But thety are indeed using tactics, and you're complaining that they are wrong because they aren't the same you are using.

  • An impasse only if you decide not to tell what you mean with new media. But if you do, then obviously yes, then it's an impasse, as I obviously cannot force you to answer a question.

  • And there use to be these things call tabloids, what is your point?

    Asking you what you mean with "new media".

    I don't really think you define it as "anything that isn't a tabloid", because tabloids have the same content as what I understand under "new media". And because my understanding of "New Media" is basically "alternative facts, just like in tabloids", and I don't think you necessary understand it the same way, I am asking.

  • What is this "new media" for you? Because for many it means sources that tell an alternative truth. Usually written in Sankt-Peterburg.

  • In Finland the deposit for bottles of one litre or more have a deposit of 0,40 €.

    (And what many foreigners don't understand is that we are not anti-recycling, so it's not a problem that the deposit is inside the prices you see in the shop. So, if you see 1,59 € as the price of a bottle of lemonade, 1,59 € is what you pay. Many countries have a system where the deposit is added to the price so that people would think more negatively about it and they'd sell more of the bottles with the text "NO DEPOSIT!!" on them, so people coming from those countries are easily confused by not having to add anything to the prices in their heads.)
