God what a manchild that guy is

Yeah. I don't like snap but like, that's not new and always been part of their plan. Bit weird to say the lost the plot now

What makes you say that? In the post apart from the usual snap bs, it all seems pretty standard and good. Not even a single AI mention.

good luck getting more than a few hours into a fresh linux install without needing to use a CLI, lol

I use the terminal on my dev machine, but that's because of what I do. Never opened the terminal on my laptops.

I'm curious what setup you have to do?
I do some customization of KDE on my desktop, but for my laptops it's always install and use without the need to setup anything.

It makes sense, but once it's pushed there is no way to know if it's been cloned or kept somewhere else. The only real mitigation is to rotate the keys or password that was leaked.
If it's something else you can't rotate, you're screwed.

Plus won't the forks on GitHub keep the history before the "reset"?
Afaik, forks on GitHub are basically the same underlying repository, just a branch associated with another user. They won't be able to really purge anything from these other branches.
Plus anyone who has a local copy of the repo or an automatic mirror somewhere else, will have the changes available.

They give you the option to disable it. What more do you want? Custom builds where only the features you want built just for you?

They are informed a few minutes before the public announcement, so it's either them waking them, or their family or neighbors a few minutes later

I disagree. The connector is fragile, subject to dust, contacts can wear out and audio quality suffers. Faulty connection means you have to twist it the correct way to have audio. Tug on your cable the wrong way and the connector on your phone is broken. Multiple standards for pinout for microphone and stereo. May cause shorts because every ring touches when plugging in. Disconnects too easily if the connector is fatigued, no locking mechanism.
At this point it would be better to reserve a few pins on a USB C connector to pass audio data. But not sure if analog can transmit fine with all the serial cables around it.

It hurts to see posts saying "Framework is not political"... Like damn it is, what do you think the mission of framework is?
"Technology is apolitical" that's entirely false. A load of decisions about tech are made politically, or at least with a lawyer behind you telling what is and what isn't legal (these laws that were decided... By politics).

I think tech communities will have a major split in the coming years.
On one side you have the "apolitical devs" who don't understand they are making political decisions every damn day. They claim to be centrists but it's all a facade for neo liberalism.
On the other side, you have people that understand the reality we live in, that understand every decision they take is gonna affect the human that is using their software. That we are responsible for what happens into the world and that allowing fascists to spread their ideas will end badly.

Staying neutral is giving your ok to fascism and racism. Staying silent is how these ideas and movements take place and is a political choice.
