All the stuff you say to do cannot and will not be done by probably 90% of the country. A boomer wouldn't have the first clue for any of that. A lot of people would rather drop the $200 than be bothered to learn something new as well.
I say good for Gab for filling the giant hole in the market. They saw an opportunity and are taking it. I hope they become the new Google (email, phones, video services) for the right and inspire others with resources to make banks, payment processor, etc that will follow the constitution.
LOL. Guess what, all the generations after boomers are worse at tech. We've tried hiring some.
Kludging together one-off devices DIY may sound cheap and easy but Gab is doing this in an extremely hostile environment. Look at what the bankers have done to him and his family. Now you try, without bad guys working actively against you, to put together a product that will be resilient, SUPPORTABLE, able to be mass-marketed, and NOT using any Chinese spy gear. We'll wait.
I hear that. There is a very specific age range or people who were kids when home computers boomed. They (I) were tinkering them from the age of 5-10 back when you had to know everything about the fucking things to get them to work. Boomers thought it was a fad so they didn't learn, younger kids grew up with them "just working" so they never learned either. Walking my 18 year old niece through fixing some hardware is just as painful as helping my mom.
I am not enthusiastic about Torba becoming a new Google or whatever, because if he ends up being crooked as well, it's the same or worse. Not thrilled to crown a new evil overlord; I remember when Apple was the underdog, and when Google was the underdog, and etc. they ALL promised improvement and prosperity… Look at them now.
And my comment wasn't saying that common people should do it, but rather that what he's showing is subpar with what a normal developer or maker could do, specially without the income and attention he has right now.
