> We do want only big&powerful being able to eavesdrop privacy but not countless of smaller actors? We don't. And that's why there are efforts to create operating systems that are do not track users. Unfortunately those efforts are not well funded. Again, we don't want big companies to track us and collect our data, but your questions sounds more like "since big companies collect our data, why should we put an effort to prevent everyone else from doing it?" I apologize if I am misreading what you're saying, but we have to do this one thing since the alternative is available, and once an alternative OS is here, we can switch to it as well. |

I own a Pine64 phone, it's nice to play as it was the old OpenMoko, but it's not much usable as a daily driver suggestible to generic users, including those who can use GNU/Linux desktop normally as simple users. That's the biggest issue and it's a similar systemic issue described above: we can't have really Free software if it need non-free systems to run, so we can't have free OSes if they demand non-free hw + fw crap.
Since desktops so far are at least manageable I generally suggest to run to save them, pushing desktop computing again and simply say mobile world so far is just a prison. This way perhaps since actually we need desktops to work in 99% of the cases we would been able to have them in the future, as "free" as today...
