I wonder if EU has some specifications regarding odometers.

It can't believe we don't have a standard on how that it needs to work.

If your state requires ID verification, then most apps will probably comply. You can try Matrix with Element or just Signal with a group.

More more "off-the-line" alternatives you can look at Mumble and own your own server.

Fairphone brand is basically saying to everyone "Hey look at our generic Android phone with everything you need from Google, including AI stuff and data collection" and when you ask if you can have a privacy friendly features they basically say "Nope, we just do a phone with replaceable parts, that's all. Don't ask for more"

Intrusive thoughts while I was writing my post. I was talking. Thanks for telling me. :)

Popsicle has a great future in politics.

Ah Pizzacakes comics are always so fun and entertaining to read.

Edit: wording

Ah yes, the good old way of throwing electromagnetic waves at people after putting their cymatic scans inside a shared pool of neutrally and selected shared consciousness of dissected sociopaths brains.

I didn't have it on my Bingo card.

Psycho Pass.

Another one to the list. Great anime. It's like if Blade Runner and Minority Report had a loving relationship and a beautiful child was the byproduct of this union.

I am personally certain you are open to learn and I will try to explain why it is like that.

Because the openness of Linux makes it prone to a model of iterations if someone desires and has the need for it. Instead of Windows and Microsoft only offering a standardized path for users to take.

Plus, it is not a waste of time either if you are passionate about it. Many people working on Linux are often doing it on their spare time. It is an unpaid job done because that one person thought it would be nice to do it.

On your second point, I also disagree. Many languages exist and some people might not like a certain implementation of a software in a certain language, for many reasons. Thus, desire to port it to another arises and they do it. Again, Linux and open source software is by essence an invitation to take something and modify it as you wish.

We often think that someone writing a piece of software in a language did it because it was the best language to do it. It is quite untrue. For many years Linux was mostly written in C language. Rust arrived and some people saw its perks as it was more secure in some aspects. Then they started to write modules for Linux in Rust. It brought up some discussions across the community because views diverged between its members. Some didn't want to see Rust take a larger part into the kernel and some wanted it to be more present.

Also, programming languages and softwares are written by humans and humans have bias. We often have preferences or personal experiences shaping our lives. So points of view are divergent. Like right now, you have some arguments and I have mine. All that helps us evolve and change our views on the world around us.

Indeed, it's huge and this is why were going towards a Cyberpunk 2077 and Weyland-Yutani future. At least as long money and power runs.

I would really prefer a Star Trek one but I think our dear Gene was quite optimistic in the fact human nature would change after an age of endless wars (I know Star Trek needed a world war 3 for the age of peace, science and exploration to exist but let's hope we won't nuke ourselves for that to happen).

I'm not a dev but does Swift will restrict it to Apple platforms since it is Apple language?

I went with Trade Rep and they are serious. Their app still needs few things but otherwise well made.
