That just means „not suited for everyones needs and taste“ - tge same goes for another license that a company chose. Others like it less.

there may be a part of the population who likes to put their mobile phone into their jeans’ front pocket instead of having to carry a daypack for it or these new cases to carry them outside on a string... thats why i like ~4 inch phones

Why should it be wrong to tell how someone doesn’t like the textual presentation of the tool?

(Edit: fixed typos)

Why? Even though it makes me clueless, i dont see how it’s more crazy than many other things people do to themselves, others, and the environment. Having a few crazy people doing some physical and mental exercises and calling that Operating Systems (as far as my understanding of it goes as of yet) is neither the craziest nor the most dangerous thing i’ve seen on this planet...

Where are the sources for this Open Source System?

Anything public is vague, (ab)using computer science terms for something that as i guess so far seems more like a physical/mental practice, and everything that could help to understand it better is not public but offered to be bought.

This makes it more clear...

Especially, it seems its not software to run on a Computer.

To me the slides dont help understanding what it is and what i can do with it / what it can do for me...

It seems not to be in the interest or capabilities of the authors to give people a simple, few sentences explanation about this - and clarity and simplicity of communication is not one of this System’s goals obviously...

Might still be interesting.

With „worse“ you mean what exactly? Probably just „not fitting my personal needs and ideas“? That doesn’t make something generally worse... or can you tell me how it’s bad for me?

Not explicitly - nor did I, you know, the sun don’t shine in many places - but implicitly it was saying i should do just that with my privacy expectations and our laws about them.

A bank solving your issue as “acceptable risk” and trust, and it results in me being able to access my card and bank account, to me it’s “just fine”.

If google takes the path of rather locking everything down then risking to lose a cent, it’s safe for them and bad for customers... not fine.

Sure risk is never just dissolving into light, nuce smelling smoke. Someone has to take and handle it.

I propose it’s the company who makes billions to handle it gracefully for customers ...

I did that and i didn’t like latex. Especially error messages in case of wrong latex code was extremely unhelpful, pointing to code lines far away from the actual erroneous line. I might be too stupid... but that’s how it felt, and i imagine being able to use simple markdown much more useable.

Yes! There you can let yourself get sued for a few millions because you didn’t mark a coffee cup as containing hot stuff or didn’t write in the usage instructions of a microwave oven that it’s unsuited to dry a cat after bathing... much simpler, clearer, and safer market there...

So the post i replied to was helpful/constructive?

I am not even thinking that GDPR is implemented/written very greatly, and i was fearing too that it will mainly help to put small businesses out of any product category where storing even just an Email address is necessary(eg have an login and want to enable users to restoa forgotten password) while big companies have their lawyers to allow them keep abusing our data on the edge of legal possibilities and not to our favour...

So Im not yet sure if having no GDPR is better or worse than having none... Just, simply saying if you have data protection laws i avoid your market without any detailed reason or proposal how to improve doesn’t bring us forward...

Not every artist makes art to make a living if it, nor do they need to. Some can’t (e.g. because they don’t have and struggle to aquire the necessary business skills) and some don’t even want that... they just wanna make some art and are happy to do it just as a hobby, no business, no chores... There’s nothing wrong with that , it even has some upsides, because you really absolutely never need to do the slightest sacrifice in your works for economic or marketing reasons.

Thanks for staying away! If you’re not interested in caring about our privacy and personal data concerns, you‘re very welcome to shove your products up to where the sun doesn’t shine...
