Eyes Up’s purpose is to “preserve evidence until it can be used in court.” But it has been swept up in Apple’s attack on ICE-spotting apps.

    People need to realize. There is no fair access to technology. You either bend the knee or have to create your own marketplace.

        I’m sorry to say it, but neither Linux nor the hardware you use it on fit under “create your own”.

          Well you can build Linux from scratch if you want to create your own. And RISC hardware is opensource, and gaining adoption.

          But at least with Fairphone they have built it so that you don’t need google android or derivatives, you can install Ubuntu Touch OS.

          With Ubuntu you have access to the worlds store of Linux apps, you don’t have to rely on apple or Google restrictions

            Building a project is not creating your own.

            And RISC hardware is opensource, and gaining adoption.

            RISC-V, and what’s gaining adoption is not what’s opensource.

            I don’t think you are getting my point. When you depend on one humongous project, open or not, you depend on what those having influence in it decide.

            That’s why they make autonomies, checks and balances, minority quotas, proportional systems and so on in democracies. Because deciding everything through a simple majority vote with no limitations and nuance, with winner taking all, doesn’t make things good.

            In this case it’s a weight of work vote, not majority vote, but the results are not too much different. Similar to how Bitcoin turned out.

            So-o - in Linux most of work is now being done by a set of the same big corporations. It’s not the magic freedom tool someone would want it to be, sorry.
