/v/Showerthoughts is a subverse for you to share all those thoughts, ideas, or philosophical questions that race through your head while in the shower.
"Showerthought" is a loose term that applies to any thought you might have while carrying out a routine task like showering, driving, or daydreaming.
Please be respectful of others' submissions. If you disagree, explain why in the comments. Downvoats are reserved for submissions you don't like or comments that do not add to the discussion, not opinions with which you disagree.
RULES
-
Please refrain from shower "observations;" we've heard them all before
-
Ideas for Voat features should be posted in /v/ideasforvoat, even if you think of them while in the shower
The spirit of this subverse's rules is to foster a community where dissent, free thought, and open discussion are tolerated, limited only to trolling, excessive abuse, site-breaking rules, or content that is better suited for another subverse. All moderation activity should operate within this spirit.

The death of the open system and its replacement with closed platforms will do that for you.
Nothing you use will ever be yours.As such, changes will take place against your will and consent.

Future computers will simply be a stream to their hardware that does the work. They'll sell it as "An exponential increase in battery life" "Sooo easy and convienent, no more confusing jigabytes." "ALL YOUR SHIT on EVERYthing"

You're basically describing what operating systems would be like if they hadn't evolved naturally. The only reason we have the computing freedom we have today is because it was necessary for adoption during the natural growth of the personal computer.

Isn't that what actually happens with MS Office>?

It is as much the fault of the OS. Permissions are often granted in stupid ways and don't allow applications to expose an API as much as control how they interact.

Probably because the app is a Trojan horse for data mining. That's why they sell the apps so cheap.

If the app is free, you're the product. That's why.
