I saw that thread. They’re not. The entire comment chain was literally “owning the libs” by claiming hypocrisy. Anyone that pointed out that Jan 6 happened, or heaven forbid was worse, was downvoted and silenced.

Grew up Reformed Christian and you hit the nail on the head… Or hand, or whatever.

You pay for these things with your data. If the government is paying for privacy-respecting storage or safe internet access, then so are you with your taxes. I’d vote for that, but I’d guess the majority of people would not.

And why wouldn’t they? 90% of the software people use daily is free (as in beer), so of course being told that’s going to change is going to cause upset. It takes a lot for people to want to pay money for something that, to those who don’t value free (as in freedom) software, is no different than the costless alternative.

Underuse IMO. We’ve grown complacent in so many regards.

That setting is now only available to accounts that meet certain criteria (subscribers, views, whatever), or so I’ve heard. Depending on the videos you frequent, they may or may not meet those criteria.

Same here, but that doesn’t stop me from trying where I have the time and energy. One of those ways is voting. So far the government has let these companies wipe their shit onto every corner of the internet, and the 5-10% of us switching apps or emails or… Whatever, aren’t going to change that. It’s not a short-term solution, but I’m starting to think it’s really the only way.

I didn’t realize how uncomfortable my gums were until I started flossing. Now, if I don’t floss for a couple days, it feels straght-up gross.
