Well regardless, the world needs alternatives that are outside of restrictive US patent law and large monopolistic control. Thank god for pioneers:)

I saw this coming, with no easy way to cancel the monthly subscription and decided to pay with a prepaid credit card instead...glad I did, it saved me from getting robbed.

Well that's cool:). Remove the profit motive/surplus goes a long way to slow down evil.

Bringing peace is surprisingly lucrative -- for weapons contractors, black rock and now the mining industry, huh 🙈

Because Americans are obsessed with iphones, as a status symbol and "American" product and it's a default...no effort required.

Bucky was right once again with his theory of "Ephemeralization" https://dbpedia.org/page/Ephemeralization ... The only reason we're concerned with these companies employing Devs and spending Billions to do what small teams of FOSS are able to achieve is simply a bad economic system that requires "make work" or Bullshit jobs for wages to feed the parasite class, instead of us living like the Jetson's. Time to move one!

Light rail is infinitely more expensive to construct and it only takes one delay/accident and all subsequent trains after cause a log jam...vs a bus which can route around it.

A better solution uses corridors dedicated to buses that are electric powered.

Something like this was done in Colombia with these routes being connected by ground hubs, similar to subway stations.

Owncast, the foss twitch alternative, is an incredible project and they've been looking for design help for quite some time... https://owncast.online/

Of course this is true, but moving to a privacy respecting OS, like linux or buying a phone w a custom ROM installed goes a long, long way to improving the situation.

Glad to hear it, now re-invest it into public services like healthcare and transit where it's sorely needed.
