my apologies, I was actually thinking of “unlocking the bootloader”, rooting a device without an unlocked bootloader didn’t even occur to me. And since unlocking a bootloader is non-trivial by design, that would prevent any such accidents.
Rooting a device shouldn’t be any more complicated than having a sticker saying “warranty void if removed”.
Why not force them to unlock root from the start?
Claiming “we need nuclear” makes me doubt your competence. And I say that as someone who prefers fission plants over burning fossil fuels.

Books were absolutely better, but the TV show was still awesome.
pacman is the name of an actual package manager iirc
I know. But better than using products from fascists…
please don’t call it app store, I just threw up a little in my mouth :(
Package Manager!
It isn’t, really. As @CosmicTurtle0 pointed out in their response, it’s mostly finding alternatives to your apps.
Apropos: fuck mozilla for enshittifying the last viable open source browser alternative :( It’s the one I have not found an alternative for yet.
Other than that: Thunderbird is WAY better than Outlook anyways. Gimp is arguably lacking some features that Photoshop people are used to, but works just fine (albeit takes some getting used to) for non graphic designers. LibreOffice is functioning better than Microsoft Office by a long shot in Writer and Calc - and up to par in Impress (presentations.) VLC should already be your media player of choice anyways. Element (Matrix) and Telegram desktop applications come with most distros nowadays. Desktop environment of choice is available, from very comfortable to very rudimentary and blazingly fast.
Steam works, many many games on steam work (but then again, maybe prefer gog / good old games, as it is not US based).
PDF readers: okular is probably your best bet, digital signatures work fine but the interface for signing a document could be improved a bit.
For my system, that’s kind of it - everything else is native Linux stuff anyways :)
Successful propaganda. As if those people were able to install (or configure) Windows if it didn’t come preinstalled and with autoupdates…
Oracle happened. https://www.pcworld.com/article/423300/why-you-should-ditch-openoffice-and-use-the-free-libreoffice-suite.html
Seriously, fuck Oracle with a rusty rebar. They already ruined mysql.
mysql -> MariaDB
OpenOffice -> LibreOffice
Good job! Welcome to Beltalowda :) Next up: join the OPA!
I really hope that this happens, but I haven’t seen any news indicating this. Got a few good sources?
My hope is not dead yet - it’s more likely for Turkey to go back to democracy in the next years than it is e.g. for Hungary - or for the divided states of america, for that matter.
The Turkish people are more European than Middle-Eastern. Especially the educated ones in Ankara and along the western coastlines. If they can oust that geriatric wannabe dictator, it’s going to be the best country to live in for me.
get lost troll.
Do it motherfuckers, I dare ya!
