There's a FOSS companion app for AirPods on Android and some features are "locked" until you press "Activate" and choose "I've spent all of my money on AirPods" as a payment method.

Say whatever you want, Snowden's a fucking hero for sharing this.

It's funny how you completely missed the point. Isn't it an obvious satire portraying people who pretend to be better just because they use a specific distro?

I hate Windows, but this has never happened neither to me nor my friends. (Granted I only have like 3 friends who use it regularly)

You are absolutely correct, you got both of them right!

What he's talking about is probably that turning off WiFi via quick settings or whatever it's called doesn't actually turn off WiFi, you still have to proceed all the way to the settings app.

Thanks! No, that's exactly what I wanted to do :) I was just wondering if it's okay to have this many random requests, which seems to be fine.

Which is why I prefer NixOS (I use NixOS btw)

I own a Pixel 7 and although not ideal, it's certainly better than most of the phones out there for me. The only downsides of daily driving a Pixel are battery drain and overheating. Granted, I live in a rather cold climate so I imagine it being not the most useful piece of tech for the folks near the equator...

It's been confirmed that Pixel 10 will finally get a non-exynos chip, so perhaps it can indeed become the pinnacle of Android smartphones, who knows.

This scenario still requires Google to play their cards right, however, but there's hope.

Thank you for the extensive reply! This covers the question perfectly. Your comment made me realize that I am not ready to ditch some services at this point in my life. The good thing about privacy is that your decision is very rarely black or white. You can gradually flow towards more private solutions over time, giving up and replacing things you use little by little.

As much as I hate to admit, it is not quite ready for me yet. Don't get me wrong, a massive amount of work has been done over the past two years, but a lot of basic functionality is still lacking. In fact, you may find it ready for daily usage yourself, given that you are not planning on using unsupported features.

DP Alt mode is not supported yet, therefore any external monitor is basically out of reach while using Linux. Built-in speakers, microphone, and camera do not work. Video drivers only cover OpenGL versions up to 3.1, which is HUGE if you think about it, but might still not be enough for someone coming from MacOS. Battery life is not ideal, though it is still better than most of Windows laptops.

Look through the Feature Support list to get the whole picture.

What's also worth noting is that most of those caveats do not apply to Mac mini, as HDMI out is already supported and, obviously, it doesn't have any peripherals built-in.

This sounds awesome, but what authorities exactly are the correct ones? What happens when I want to report THE authorities?

It is not uncommon to find "Wine wrappers" to actually work better than on Windows itself.
