@ceo_of_monoeye_dating@nugger alas, i don't have access to bluesky and the main person i know on bluesky here would pull the tofurkey *out* of the garbage (if it's still edible)
@grishka@Gargron It's not just 'annoy users into submission' it's 'keep users from having control over the platform/rebuilding the OS'
this is important to keep in mind, since if it were mere annoying prompts, if users had the ability to change the control flow of app installation (ie if they had the source code and an ability to build/run their modified build -- ie the 4 fundamental freedoms, this would be fixed very quickly given how many are annoyed by this particular antifeature)
> that the only solution was to nuke it from space and *buy a whole new computer*
Installing GNU+Linux was *always* a better solution to that, until very recently (ie until the hidden low-level proprietary software layer / BIOS's made that less effective at removing the malware)
the problem was ALWAYS proprietary software frustrated the user's ability to understand what was going on, provide depth in defence and so on. The 'people installing viruses problem on windows' was ALWAYS about users not actually having control over the computer enough to do what they needed to do / understand programs they were running. "Running all executables" is a form of learned helplessness fomented BY the likes of microsoft because all of *their* executables are malware/black boxes too and so they *couldn't* teach users to not use them
> s a genuine conflict between user rights and the need to protect the average person.
No, there isn't. The average person needs to be protected FROM google.
> Phones hold our banking apps,
The banking apps themselves, which are proprietary to a one ARE what users need to be protected against. Users should be able to access crypto from their phones

Which on modern hardware (such as https://puri.sm/ librem5 ) you can physically turn off

And giving all your countless secrets to some proprietary malware vendor like google /samsung is not the answer.
> 2FA tokens,
there is no 'conflict' here. Keeping 2FA tokens contained enough that the user & only the user has access to them isn't something that sideloading does a damn thing about either way
No. *copyright infringement, patent infringement, trade secret theft & the rape of children* was the foundation of the success of your country. IP is not a thing
@BowsacNoodle that meme is from a decade ago. History *is interesting* and young people yearn for it, as it helps provide context for what they are going through, and will be going through as history continues to repeat itself.
