A lot of it kicks back to companies as well. If every time someone interviews for a new job they are telling users they need to run their programs or even just the application for the interview from a Windows machine it pressures users into going back. I always see shit like that for stuff that is even just browser based. I prefer not to install zoom, teams, and such and just open in the browser, but ive run into companies saying their typing tests and other pre employment material only run on Windows. It's usually false, as I never actually have needed it to install Windows, but it sows doubt in people who don't want to take chances when they are already in a potentially tight spot.

That was my Goal Phone, yes! Either that, or the N8, but the 5800 was the only thing I could afford at the time:)) They were really nice phones, properly into "smartphones" by that point - the 5800 was more like a... clever phone:)) Oh, nooo!:( I'm so sorry, that's how I lost my 5800, too! Got mugged at night, ffs..

Tried to rely fully on F-droid several years ago. That experiment went just fine until I needed up update the apps. Turns out, there wasn't a simple one button solution to that. I had to manually update each and every app one by one. Is it any better these days?

It all depends on the context to be honest. I’ve found that tech people, outside of professional contexts, are generally a lot more helpful. Things are different at work.

Accountability isnt just about tax dollars, it's about preventing the unchecked power that leads to documented human rights abuses.

That was a feature where you could attach an analog receiver to their Goggles v2. They have since removed it in newer Goggle versions. Their system is basically a walled garden now.
