That sounds like the conclusion I’m coming to. I just asked on the off-chance that someone says “well there’s this and this is how everyone does it” but it seems like that’s not the case.

The difference is that mobile phone hardware is commonly more locked down by default than x86 hardware. Whatever phone you have now likely has some weird shit on it that makes it really difficult to do anything but what the manufacturer wants you to do. What Microsoft is trying to do with Win11 and TPM 2.0, has basically already been done with many brands of smartphone. I’ve been trying to research affordable smartphones to daily drive that are also de-googled, and hours of research has resulted in me struggling to use a pinephone. The hardware, the software, they’re just not there, either. It’s not like desktop Linux where really it’s better than Windows if you give it a chance. Mobile FOSS OSes might be daily drivable if you try really hard.

did you not read the damn post?

It’s recursive

Are you just trying to live the worst life possible while technically doing nothing wrong?

At this point, it’s not even a matter of practicality, it’s one of morality IMO. You shouldn’t be giving spyware control over your machine and making the world just that much more controlled by billionaires. Most people don’t even think about it, which makes it a gray area, but you? You’ve considered this issue at length, apparently. That’s a stupid and awful thing for someone who’s given thought to which OS they should use to do.

Ykw, you’re right. I made a mistake.

It’s not really anything that great. It started that scummy toys-to-life trend of the 2010s. It ended before I was in high school. But damn I loved it as a kid.

Oh also the bee movie. And skylanders. I remember being a kid playing skylanders and that was all I knew him as. I had no idea what I was getting into when I started watching family guy and began hearing one of my favorite childhood video game characters say some really weird shit

If you can do a Kronk impression, you are also doing a Joe Swanson impression. I’m sorry to tell you this but the vast majority of people might be hearing a family guy character when you do it

Wikipedia is basically a charity that gives people free knowledge. No one profits off of it. What you describe is called civil society, where interest groups attempt to convince the government to take certain actions, and (only without profit motive, in my opinion) it’s one of a few indicators of democracy.

I think HellOS comes with demonic teeth drivers right out of the box.
