everytime I tell someone there are alternatives to using Google/Apple/etc their response is, “but it’s just so easy”. I guess you can call my view of that jaded, but people really don’t care? I mean I’m not trying to be defeatest at all, it’s just trying to accurately appraise people’s apathy to apply a proper resolution to the problem.
The solution has to make it “easy” for people because that is what they expect of technology now.
Honestly I’m too apathetic to care if what you’re saying is accurate or not. I am asking what are you trying to accomplish by convincing apathetic people they’re apathetic?
Oh you can’t change apathy really. I was just suggesting if privacy friendly tech (ie: Linux) is to go mainstream, that it would have to be “easier” than what is currently out there to gain mainstream popularity.
Desktop linux is almost there, but the general population mostly uses mobile devices now, and phone Linux seems to be a dying prospect.
I read this and ask “What is your intention with this post?” What is gained if everyone is this jaded?

Ahh, so by making Linux “easier” we’re preparing for that eventual opportunity (from a disaster) where the public goes looking for something better.
