Sadly, you are likely also right about the race to the bottom for the rest. Maybe it would be different if they cared, but they don't. I have tried to explain it to my wife many a time, but it was mostly a failure ( so now her new lappy runs decrappified Windows 10 ). Worse yet, the whole data economy has become ingrained. Just yesterday chick at a dealership joked to sign here so that everyone can get my phone number. After that, attended a birthday party, where host company had a provision in disclaimer that they can use any pictures captured on camera for their promotion should they so choose. I almost lost it. It has been normalized. And you can't even cross this shit out, because it is all 'standard form' on a PC and whatever teen is running the desk wouldn't give a shit even if they understood the issue.
<< My kid will know what is a terminal before it touches iPad or iPhone.
It is funny. My kid loves keyboard. Maybe there is hope yet.
It doesn't need updates because they don't access the internet, good luck virus writers when it gets nuked from outside the VM every time it reboots!
> My kid will know what is a terminal before it touches iPad or iPhone.
Why? Why they should know terminal?
> there is no sane tech person who is not aware of this and is not using Linux
Whoa. Which Linux opensource phone your family use?
