That's a good reason to use an operating system that will never turn over control to a software vendor.

I speak of gnu/linux, of course. Or any of the BSDs. Or any other unix variant. It's true that there is a ton of proprietary software out there that won't run on those, but it's almost always from exploitative companies like Adobe who should be run out of business.

Shouldn't it be "lunalogic?"

Most birds are predators.

That's literally the opposite of what "theory" means in a scientific context. You know nothing of science and your opinion is wrong.

It's Hard To Keep A White Shirt Clean

email is the original fediverse. Everyone should be able to selfhost it with no problem. If you try it these days, you'll find lots of your sent mail ends up in people's spam folders. It's not because there is anything indicating that your email may be unwanted, it is because google wants (needs) everyone to use their shit instead, so they make it as unpleasant as possible for you to host your own. I've noticed that my emails to businesses rarely end up flagged as spam, presumably because businesses would not tolerate that from google, but "little people" have no say.

I've always thought that universities hosting their own (as they all originally did) would go a long way to repairing this mess. The more providers there are, the less impact Google's fuckery can have.

Thank you sooo much, good bot! I use a vpn (as everyone should) and you make it possible for me to get news through Lemmy. I appreciate you so much!

Lemme just dust this off and leave it here

Bicycles predate automobiles by several decades and asphault was invented for bicycle use. Also pneumatic tires. Pedestrians had the right-of-way everywhere in every road until the oligarchs invented "jaywalking."

Automobiles were forced on the public, their popularity was manufactured. People don't even notice how unhappy and stressed out they are when they drive the brainwahing is that effective.
