Right?!
The solution to this problem isn't just "within your reach" IT'S IN YOUR FUCKING HAND!!!!
Aurora store is basically anonymous access to the official Google Play store.
You can download any app because unlike the Google Play store Aurora doesn't send your phones hardware ID, so if for example your phone is rooted you can get the Disney Plus app anyway.
Fdroid is an alternate app store. They have different things than the Google Play store. They respect your privacy and will let you download any app that is ever been uploaded to them, Even old versions of an app.
I'll give apple this one thing.
They are really, really good at backup.
I recently had to wipe my dad's iPhone, I manually backed up his pictures just to make absolutely certain they were all saved but everything else I didn't even bother.
I logged him back into his apple account and everything immediately started downloading again.
With Google, you'll get your text messages. Your contacts, your pictures, your videos. Maybe your YouTube history and subscriptions but any random app probably uses Google backup services but it might not.
Does anyone actually use Arch as a daily driver?
This kind of "single device that replaced an entire backpack of stuff" is why there are no computers in the Dune universe.
They would make the plots too easy to resolve.
A technical question regarding federation:
Why not leave it up to the individual users to federate with an instance or not?
So everything is accessible from everywhere else, but little subgroups form over time. When trolls find a space, those groups can block them out.
Why doesn't more stuff have molle built in?
For a sense of scale the entire Atari 2600 Library could fit on a floppy multiple times over.
The increasing spread of cheap good technology isn't really about the new hotness coming out it's about last decade stuff finally becoming affordable.
The family computer had a 40 gig hard drive until about 2008.
Can we agree religious zealotry isn't helping?
