    This opinion is so backwards, it’s actually impressive.

    The purpose of a locked boot system is to control what the device does as much as possible, which intentionally, or incidentally (it makes no difference) means the manufacturer and only the manufacturer gets to decide how much privacy they get to invade.

    Get real.












  • The real people in power are those who tell the best stories.

    This tale is as old a civilization: a sword is powerful, but more powerful yet is a pen to instruct a thousand swords.

    Maybe we have forgotten that, in this analogy, the pen isn’t literally a pen in an oval office, rather it is a tweet plugged straight into people’s brains.

    Too many of you incorrectly assume that the real power of persuasion can only come from inside the Whitehouse, or some other institution, just because historically that is where it came from.
