This is unacceptable. And I’m sick of all the fucking workarounds to maintain basic privacy.

Nice of them to push everyone to Linux.

Not gonna matter when apps and services start blocking Linux, or even worse, should this shit creep up the chain to the ISP level and should ISPs start requiring an Apple, Google, or MS OS just to get online to begin with.

That’s when I buy a LoRa array and a ham license.
The thing about the Internet is that anyone can be an ISP and any devices can be networked. If consumer ISPs become gatekeepers, we can network without them. And then we can tunnel encrypted data over the official devices that can’t be fully locked down.

What’s stopping the FCC or your country’s equivalent from locking down HAM regulations?
Replying to @DFX4509B@lemmy.wtf
That’s an interesting one actually. If they licked down HAM regulations, they’d lose their relief valve/last line of defense.
It’s not that some idiotic government couldn’t do it, but if they did then they’d lose what control they currently have AND be totally screwed of anything went wrong.
