@misk What could maybe work: it should be made law, that 1% (or 10%) of all license cost paid by governmental organizations, must go into open source development, or services. The organization could freely choice, into what, and what it wants to get back.

@misk @not_IO Normally it silently fails on the wall of stupidity, and on the silent, cooperative undermining of the local microsoft activists in all departments. You can be sure, they do not want to learn "yet another system", they want to retire as a windows sysadm. And they work as a workplace mafia.

Sadly I can not see any good in this direction. Hope I see it badly!

@auzy1 @spicehoarder Apple is far more evil as microsoft was ever... it is only smaller.

@Redjard @cm0002 Can it be used to root android?

@cdzero @viov Btw, Ubuntu mobile is long ceased to exist, what is this ubuntu touch thing now?

@victorz They are not even similar on English.

@sbeak @victorz It is "unix car parts shop"

@auntieclokwise @victorz :-) What is the language on which you are thinking on?

@razen @viov The "mobile computing" was organized probably by some really dark circles of the big USA eavesdropping/world police line. It was not at all about that you have a linux (osx) on your phone. IT WAS ABOUT REPLACING THE FREE PC WORLD BY A CONTROLLED SLAVE ONE. We sucked it.

@furtiveParalysis I summarize your answer: "Yes it is closed hardware, you badass linux guy. Here can you crack it, like of a f...ing samsung: <link>"

@furtiveParalysis @viov Fairphone should start the "fairness" that I can reinstall its OS like of a PC. It does not do that, IT IS CLOSED HARDWARE LIKE A SAMSUNG, so do not buy it!!!

@Snapz @viov Can you really do it? My experience with all Android rooting is that it is always complex and risky.
