What, that experts should be deferred to? Absolutely. I was never one who had “had enough of experts”.
Let experts gather good data and make decisions based on it. Jess Philips is commenting on something that sadly sticks out in the data, far more than race, when the interviewer wants to try and talk about race.
Interesting. Fingers crossed!
I don’t feel alienated by her comments and I’m not an abuser. I know the reality is she is basically right. Focussing on race, like the interviewer was trying to do, is not the area to focus if you care about the issue.
We don’t get anywhere pending the problem is not as it is. Not all us men are abuses, but “93% of defendants in domestic abuse cases are male; 84% of victims are female.” https://refuge.org.uk/what-is-domestic-abuse/the-facts/
So we need to look at what is going on with men that is causing this.
That’s what we need.
Good to know. I’d really like to try a proper Linux phone as a daily driver.
I’m sure with infanticide risk they are looking at mothers. Focus where the risk is. That’s what data is for. Why it has to be accurate. Infanticide risk monitoring will a postnatal depression checking on the mother.
My big problem is banks and satnav.
SatNav need traffic info and there is none, so their routes are bad.
Banks require apps to even use their website for “secure codes”. Those apps try to detect ROMs and refuse to run, not even really being Android is going to make passing that harder.
Let alone random things like parking apps where the app is the only way to pay.
This is a political problem as much as technical. Competition is basically dead. We need government to step in and make competition possible. But they are in big tech’s pocket and the status quo suits them too. Voters either don’t care or believe what big tech says. It’s a mess.
Organic Maps is great in many ways. It’s maps are so much better. But the lack of traffic data is a killer for route planning in the UK. All the open source maps suffer this. There needs to be open access traffic information for there to be competition.
It will be if your using MS tech for it. They will pull the plug on that too. Just not yet, it’s quieter to do it separately later.
On it’s on disks you control in formats you can play with anything you like, its never yours.
The business is basically thirds last I looked. Windows, Office and Azure.
Not sure how their purchase of platform companies they shouldn’t have been allowed to buy plays into that. Thinking LinkedIn and GitHub.
We know where we need to focus to improve things. You need to analyze a problem to fix it. Denial fixes nothing.
You have to deal with realities no matter how uncomfortable.
Part of the reason the race element is so contentious is the data is not as good as it should be because people didn’t want to collect it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002dzj6
But, if you look at the element of gender, and the element of race, in sex abuse, even with bad data, gender makes race pale in comparison.
So we need to look that shit in the face, in the eye, and deal. That’s how we improve things for our daughters, and our sons.
Well she’s not wrong, unfortunately. We have to face that if we are going to improve things. Which we should all want to.
Yeah, I hear you. It’s not going to be the case for long anyway.
Yes you can, but they are actually in a LXC container with Wayland/X from outside (I think it is also in a KVM/QEmu). (Interesting project : https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform2/+/HEAD/vm_tools/sommelier/README.md)
If you look at the architecture it looks more normal than Android.

Others note this:
It’s made of lots of FOSS, but it is a dystopian version of a Linux desktop.
This isn’t entirely right because Chrome OS is using a lot more of normal desktop Linux than Android does, which basically uses none.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChromeOS
Android is this completely different thing (built round OpenBinder) that ended up using the Linux kernel for good hardware support. It’s basically got nothing to do with desktop Linux, bar needed it to actually build Android. You can argue that Google basically tried forking Linux for Binder and control.
Well yes, but Android now has a Debian container option. If they expose some Wayland/X interface to it for displaying stuff on Android, for a load of stuff, maybe that is good enough for a lot of stuff?
Wow, that’s excluding Chrome OS, which has 2.71% on it’s own. So you could say Linux is at over 7%, but glad they split it so we know.
I think the interviewer was awful. He was doing culture war nonsense and trying to get Jess Phillips to engage. She is right that focusing on race in this, is fiddling at the margins. (With bad data). I don’t think it was the debate she was expecting to be honest as she didn’t seam fully prepared.

This isn’t something imported. Despite what Farage and co claim.
