  • These are small potatoes to the real problems.

    I worked at Dollar Tree a year ago and got a letter saying my SSN and birthday was breached by Lockton. This is the second time this has happened and it’s ridiculous they’re still holding on to my data even though I never consented.

    If simply functioning in society is going to require me to buy lifetime identity threat protection then I don’t know how privacy isn’t a luxury. Simple: don’t live.

    “Are [mainframe OS, non-flagship/consumer OS] [consumer device] ready in [Current Year]?”

    Not to be an asshat about it, but this is what the title reads to me. I’d love a Linux mobile distribution, but really what that’s asking for is: optimized mobile driver kit for an open hardware platform, and the ability to manufacture them at an economy of scale to deliver quality without paying out the ass for. I feel like this is difficult because that development time required to have a stable software and the hardware itself would require tons of money, so one would have to be sacrificed since FOSS devs don’t really have a lot of money… since they do it for free.
