From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ok, that's true. But what I'm saying is that you aren't considering the value of convenience and user experience at all. It's possible for those benefits to outweigh the downsides.
Also encryption wouldn't prevent your first example
I would also argue that it's "dumb and shortsighted" to not care about user experience, because then you lose the users and they go back to the unencrypted environmentally-disastrous service.
Yea i think u have a point too, one of the main reason i use linux for good now is how streamlined things are nowadays, i just too eager to watch these projects come to fruition and gain more adoption
Truee I feel like open source has really picked up recently and that makes me happy
Steamos gonna finally put us on the map?? I can't wait to see it drop😭
