Lots of mentions of OpenBoard here. There is a fork that is under development now, and I am writing this with it now. It is not on F-Droid yet.
FlorisBoard and AnySoft are good, but each has enough annoyances that I come back to OpenBoard, which has its own annoyances, but for me are a bit less annoying.
Remember that to stay in business, they must sell something. Since they are selling something designed to last a very long time, they need to expand their customers and sell other products, or both.
Some consumers want to get new product regularly. There is reason to stop them. As long as they continue to make their products to last, the rest of us get what we want, and the company is more profitable, sounds like a win-win.
This appears to be an effort to convince people to try their products - good for them! My answer to your last question is yes. Capitalism is not bad - amoral or unregulated capitalism is bad.
One where Republicans block all Democrat court appointments, then push through their candidates at high speed when Republicans are in control.
What I can't figure out is why the Democrats can't use similar tactics successfully. This is how we got a Republican Supreme Court.
Somehow they were able to stonewall Obama's nominees for over a year, then pushed through conservative appointees fast enough to give us whiplash - legal problems be damned.
I don't know the backstory to this. My view in General on open source projects is that the people who initiate those projects and manage those projects generally have final say. If enough people disagree a fork will naturally occur.
However I'm a little uncomfortable with the idea of claiming that they should not curate and control how their own project is managed. I'm here labor of love should not be forcefully taken from them. They have reasons for their decisions and it is their baby.
If you believe that a large number of users want the features that you want, then by all means Fork it. We will find out over time if you are right. And that is how it works. There should be no animosity.
You assume too much, yourself. I think the point is the U.S. finally realized they were giving away critical technology to a nation that not so secretly plans to replace them.
Unfortunately, I think they were asleep too long, and China has enough knowledge to press forward without stealing from Americans.
Now, America must accept the fact they fucked up and have to compete as equals, which is much more difficult.
I've read an awful lot of comments yelling at EFF for supporting very bad people. I think you all do not understand the point being made.
It is not the isp's job to police the network. The proper route is to raise the complaint to the proper authorities and let them police the problem. Specifically, So they can do it in a transparent auditable and citizen visible fashion.
What happens when the ISP decides to block a person or organization because they think what they're doing is unacceptable, but they're wrong? How do we police that?
Nobody sees anything because they're blocked before anything can be shown. That is instant hidden censorship that nobody can stop because nobody knows about it.
Even the ACLU went to bat for a Nazi organization on a free speech topic because letting it pass would set a precident that would not be reversed, and thus eventually would be used to silence just causes.
Edit: if that's still too complex to parse, replace the target with the sermons of Dr Martin Luther King Jr.
Okay everybody - this is one of those good things that the Biden Administration and Democrats are doing to properly run government.
It is also something that most people will not know about. Why? Because it's not a simple sound bite.
So my homework to all of us is to make sure our friends and Neighbors who are complaining about government not doing anything for us to point this and similar things out to them.
Real benefits, real work is almost never easily described in sound bites. So many people believe the Democrats don't do what they say they're going to do because getting s*** done is too complicated for most people.
All I can say is that it is kinda cathartic that someone other than me is experiencing this nightmare.
Also, this pages where it is impossible to select any text at all.
This is one reason why I will never pay for a phone I cannot root if a rootable option exists.
Strangers on the internet constantly tell me I am a fool to root "'cause security", and I just shake my head.
If I pay $700 for a phone, I own it. If I'm paying for X gigabytes of cellular data, I will not be told I cannot use it "for that".
I almost never see advertisements, am blocking tracking and malware at the device level, and impriving sound output quality. I use kernels that are patched up way better than the device default, and have superior battery life, and cpy over-clocking.
I'd go insane if I had to deal with all those restrictions, invasion of privacy, and monetization of my life at my expense.
... Until all the sites you absolutely need to use in order to *function in society *require approved devices with proper tracking.
You say that as if it makes it okay. By definition, it means those comments were not deleted in the first place. When I want my monetizable data deleted, I want it deleted. Not "hidden". I'm a programmer. Changing a mode on a group does not have to "undelete" content. In fact, in any context involving business, explicit work to ensure the data is gone forever is often legally audited.
If they won't delete my data, and that ends up permitted, then I demand that any time my data is viewed or used, I expect compensation - just like musicians, writers, and media companies demand.
