Thanks, that is hugely reassuring that it disturbs some employee(s) of Google. Hope you are listened to at the TGIF.
I do realize that it is less of an issue if it was a public post. I don't particularly share your enthusiasm to report victimless crimes. But I guess I don't have a leg to stand on, as lots of countries have severe laws against victimless crimes, including mine.
Ok, so you used a phone you don't remember the name of. How does that make an "average" Android phone locked?
If you cannot find the name of a "locked" Samsung Android phone in spite of me "insulting" you so much, and you reacting so much to it, that does more to "prove" the lack of a "locked" recent Samsung Android phone than any link I can possibly post. Let alone an "average" Android phone.
Ok, so my suspicions proved correct. You do not have a "locked" Samsung phone model to refer to.
I already provided the information that is relevant - it involved Samsung, HTC and Sony. You would have remembered if you read it or understood.
You could have named the Samsung device if you had a point. But I guess you refrain from doing that because it was locked by the carrier so is completely irrelevant in a comparison with Jolla with is not a carrier (yet) but a manufacturer. Just like Samsung and HTC - which haven't released a bootloader locked phone for more than 2 years (possibly slightly less for HTC).
I'm not looking for a juvenile argument
In that case, have you considered not making juvenile statements?
merely expressing an opinion based on the locked down Samsung and other phones I have seen
In that case, have you considered reading up on the meaning of "average"?
an opinion that fully locked down phones are likely to have less usable life than open ones
In that case, have you considered using English to express your opinion? It is helping no one if you use a language apparently similar to English but in which opinions about locked down phones are expressed by declaring "average" Android phones to be locked down Android phones.
It is positive that Samsung is apparently changing that policy.
Another interesting aspect of your language - present continuous tense being used for something that happened more than 2 years ago.
Exactly. So the "same thing" should keep working the same way for years and years, right? Why would they stop working "quickly" ?
Owing to this lack of updates, either they are "unusaable"[sic] from the very beginning, or they should remain "usaable" for years and years.
If the packages are just too old, why do they "quickly becomes[sic] unusaable [sic]" ? Do old packages undergo a transformation "quickly" without user intervention while "new" , "fresh" packages from e.g. Fedora, stay unchanged?
You said the "average" Android phone is not upgradable. "Quite a few not following it" is not enough for an "average" Android phone not being upgradable. When the big daddy of all Android phones, Samsung, is following the "trend", and nearly the next 2 (HTC and Sony) almost following it too.
I'd have no problem with that. I'd be inclined to suspect women
2 sexes. 2 sets of professions, one each does not get enough representation from one of the sexes. In one case you demand a study before anyone "dismisses" it as an inclination mismatch. In the other case, YOU dismiss it as an inclination mismatch, without a study, of course. But, generously, you'd have "no problem" with studying about the unfair treatment received by other sex in the other set of professions too. Need I say more, or you understood your own double standards ?
For primary school I don't know. I had 2 male teachers K-6. They were both very good teachers.
You are an old man (so am I). Check out some recent statistics.
You mean "fuck it, we are going with Playstation 5" ?
A good UI is not merely a synthesis of behaviors people have approved of --- good UI design is a cohesive whole, with good continuity, context, and consistency; it is more than the sum of its parts.
And Linux users worth their salt are used to replacing the parts they don't like. To create a "good UI for themselves" rather than the non-existent "good UI, period".
Gnome 3? Old hardware? Grub2? Systemd?
Some people actually need CentOS / Debian stable. But stupidly they choose Arch/Fedora/Debian testing/Mint Debian edition etc. Then they think it is the fault of "developers".
Learn to choose a distribution properly.
All those android phones that need to be cracked just to install some apps
I don't see too many of them. Samsung and HTC have vowed to keep the bootloaders open, since 2-3 years. They have been true to it. Sony have an application downloadable from their own website to open bootloaders of their phones, the application works for most of Sony phones (though not all).
Not at all, I'm all for studying WHY there are few girls in computing science
Great. I would be interested in knowing what are your feelings about studying WHY there so few men in nursing, and primary school teaching.
You're a good shill. I am sure you are aware of this. Google does actively report to law enforcement.
PURGE COMPLETE.
