Steam users are not the “average user”… they are the “average gamer”.

The average person has a phone, with 128gb of storage.

The typical laptop I deal with have 512gb ssd drives.

The typical desktop in a corporate environment is 256gb or 512gb.

1tb drives are very much not “average”.

Correct about security. Unable to inspect the code running, unable to control your own device fully, and really secure at keeping the user out of their hardware.

And for apps shipped in containers? No need to be a part of the FLOSS community, because you can easily ship software to your users that provides no freedoms.

So, you cannot or will not answer. Got it.

Why do you think all phone makers push it?

Who is mostly pushing these containerized apps?

Proprietary software vendors.

Same for who stands the most to benefit from immutable distros. Like Android and MacOS get shipped.

If you trust it, why not just install it like a y other app?

Oh wait, it’s generally pushed for binary only blobs, no source… so why are you even trusting it?

Cant own a gun, but has power to launch nukes, and command an army…

Thats… literally what happens. Like when the owner of a bar calls it quit, and leaves.

How do ypu think communities “naturally” come and go?

Communities don’t have heary attacks, or get a new child or something…

All communities work like that…

Pandoc.

There is no real need for the kind of permanence you think you need.

Imagine if a building could only be a bar, for perpetuity, and nobody opened any other bars, because that first bar existed.

Bars would suck for like… 99.99999% of the human population, huh?

So…

Start alternatives, on a host ypu maintain, and then everything can be ran perfectly how you want it to run

Problem solved.

I hope it remains so! Its a big reason why I’m really keen on instance defederating, and such. Make the “island chains” just a touch disconnected, to keep monkey sphere’s small.

I have, but pretty much have figured out its for crypto bros who don’t want people telling them not to shill their crypto shit, or fucking fascists who don’t like people being able to just… turn them off, for being fascists.

One thing I’ve found on lemmy that was almost impossible to see on reddit…

People apologizing for being incorrect. Also, people having actual conversations, without the immediate influx of “No, YOURE WORNG!” people.

Also, look into your local fnb. Mine is Freegan and vegan.

You can spread an ethical diet by making the ethical choices more affordable, and more available, today, in capitalism.

Just like anarchists who build things like: community gardens/farms, neighborhood affinity groups, etc etc.

I def disagree about ansible… Because it’s impossible to write a “proper script” without making a whole lot of repetitive things, that ansible handles.

It is slow though, and agent-based configuration management, imo, is better for mandating configurations. ie, puppet, for example.

I agree with the rest, though :)
