Fedora community has a terrible apartheid problem, there's RH employees / social justice activists at the top then there's everybody else.

It's probably your config or hardware issues

Ikko MindOne Pro is small phone, could be a usable device if it had better software

The biggest danger of smoking is not cancer, it's cardiovascular diseases. You are comparing a mosquito to an elephant.

I'm not sure if anyone wants Bixby, even if it's cheap

And petty criminals that set up fake fake websites to steal your money, ad-networks are also commonly used to spread malware so limiting the number of attack surfaces is the only sane thing to do.

even foreign companies competitive to key US companies.

It's unfathomable to me that EU companies don't take the risk of industrial espionage from US more seriously

If you watch them fly it always looks more chaotic than birds.

Speaking from experience, it's not only ID systems but if you run non-Android (some AOSP) they might still require you to install an App only available with Play Services or on iOS to do business with government agencies or even apply for funds in some European states. In other words if you are using GrapheneOS, from gov. agencies point of view you might as well be a criminal. Actually given how frequent ID-theft is nowadays, it's actually easier for criminals to launder their money than privacy preserving individuals or companies to pay taxes in EEA.

I don't, isn't this the recipe to get IRL Morbius?

I CANN, YOU CANN, Yes We CANN!

Consumers consume. Most of those who pay for Netflix Premium don't even know what they are paying for. They believe Netflix that says it's better quality, of convince themselves that they're going to use off-line features on flights.

Everyone else uses ChatGPT

I'm actually tired that people put stupid questions in ChatGPT and then present in with a straight face as a source of truth. Sometimes it hallucinates completely, sometimes the conditions or regulation have changed and it gives false answers and no-one cares. Simple collaborations that was possible before now turn into unnecessary arguing. Some ChatGPT users aren't even aware that LLMs hallucinate, I just pointed it out recently and was accused of mansplaining and being a tinfoil hat.

Does it allow users to receive Android updates?

Your assumption is that such big companies operate in a logical manner, the employee is a ball-bearing in a huge machinery, why should they care. IT support is probably outsourced, so for them is likely good to bill more hours.

Your average users are getting rid of PCs and getting Android tablets or iPads instead.

Good deed for our robot overlords!

Who are they telling those fairy tales to, even opening Trump Tower in Moscow is more realistic
