The lessons of the 20th century have mostly been forgotten. Re-learning them is going to be very expensive - not just in money, but in lives.

The issue isn’t whether the “company cares”.
It’s whether they end users fix your own problems, or force you into techno-feudalism where the only way to get a problem fixed is to hope the company cares enough to fix it for you.
The simplest example of Nvidia completely failing here is old hardware support. AMD cards doesn’t have that problem because the drivers are open source and upstream. These new Nvidia drivers don’t sound like they’ll help - they’re not maintainable and therefore not upstreamable.
Is there some reason that wall won’t work fine?
The other side of that is worth considering too. Being 46 with a 23 year old would be great.
Before the recent API purge, you could access public data from sites like Reddit and Twitter pretty easily too. I mean it’s still easy now, just not free. The same thing used to be true for Facebook, but their API purge was several years ago and their data model made less data straightforwardly public.
Personally I’d rather have my public posts be straightforwardly public than the illusion of privacy provided by sites like Facebook. Maybe a lot of people can get away with treating messages to a private Facebook group as private a lot of the time, but it’s simply a wrong mental model that will lead to wrong decisions. A message can either be private or be broadcast to an open-ended set of people - not both.
Yes, posts you make to public forums are public.
I tried nano, but none of the standard key combination would let me save or quit.
User accounts are a reasonable isolation mechanism for reasonably trustworthy server software.
What carrier? Do voice calls work?
Currently a Pixel with an anonymous custom ROM, although I’ve got a PinePhone on my desk I need to test more.
Cell phones are incompatible with privacy. Any phone necessarily constantly sends your location to your cell provider just in order to work. But even if that’s true, there’s no reason to also let someone else be the remote administrator for a sensor node with a camera and microphone that you carry everywhere. Running a mobile OS with a universal backdoor is bad times.
How is making Facebook pay for user-posted news links a good idea?
Should every instance this post shows up on pay the WSG for this link? Should there be piracy charges for the use of the archive service?
Which investment generates more energy? How about weighted by usefulness in various ways?
I stopped dual booting long ago. If a game doesn’t work on Linux, I find it much easier and more fun to simply do something else. At this point, the threat of losing my browser tabs would be enough inconvenience to dissuade me, and I generally have quite a bit more active state than that on my computer that would be lost with a reboot.
Before I gave up on Windows gaming I did use a dedicated machine with a KVM switch for a while. But even that simply stopped seeing enough use to justify it.
If you figure out how to do something in the terminal, you’ve got an 80% chance of that technique still working in a decade. If you learn how to do it in the GUI, your chances in a decade are more like 10%.
Oracle a company to actively avoid doing business with or realying on in any way.
Spend the $5 for a commodity VPS from literally any standard vendor. I suggest Vultr.
This is the sort of thing that’d be really easy to implement (or hire someone to implement if you’re not a develper).
I’ve got a couple VPSes, hosting
Self hosting email is obnoxious, but it’s also one of the only remnants of the traditional distributed internet that’s still broadly accepted.
That’d be less bad if this particular educational structure wasn’t getting mandated as a “legal right to equal education”, with any alternate structure being fought at every step by an array of institutional forces.
