Some don’t have the capital or spare parts lying around to build their own on premises server. A VPS is an easy, secure way to get started in the hobby. No need to gatekeep.

It seems OP was attempting to move several addresses. Several sign ups from one source is probably an uncommon practice for typical users.

This is the key missing piece for me too. All of the things I use on my phone are accessible through the five icons on my dock. Whether it’s a simple swipe to open another app or swipe to open a folder, none of the “alternatives” have similar functionality.

I don’t want to search for things, I want at most two taps to open the app I want.

Traffic data kind of requires driver tracking data to be sent to the cloud, which usually goes against the philosophy of projects like this. Unless they’re obtaining it from a third party, I doubt it’ll be a feature they implement.

Right, I just mean the general public really doesn’t seem to care about these types of things, unfortunately, and sale of things like consoles and other proprietary systems is an indicator of that.

Everyone’s been brainwashed conditioned to think that having no control of their devices is just the way it has to be.

Who would buy a flagship gaming-pc without the admin-pwd and without being allowed to change the os?

Is that not exactly what a gaming console is?
