Pretty satisfied with kmail/infomaniak

From a purely "vote with your wallet" standpoint it doesn't make sense, because there's no money paid. However, one might worry about data/information getting in the hands of a fascist/compromised government. So I think people should judge this themselves case by case.

I deleted my Disney plus and Amazon prime accounts last week and it felt so damn good.

I'm in quite a good position as a decision maker for certain types of software used in our company. As soon as some of our u.s. based contracts expire, I am switching to an open source alternative. Already preparing the migration now actually.

Sorry I misread: not crowdfunding assassinations, but the Ukrainian government and defence forces.

I actually love this idea of anonymous crowdfunding by the masses. But how could we make this happen? I guess it would have to be initiated from the Ukrainian government.

Damn the bullies in your school had a field day with you, didn't they? They can take your milk and you would offer them your lunch too. Because conflict is bad. Surprise, sometimes violence is actually the answer. Whether we like it or not.

Crazy idea here: would it be possible to have a model where everyone's phone is a mini personal instance, syncing with others when the user opens the app? When a phone is offline that phones content would be unavailable too, but that is part of the truly decentralised model.

I agree it feels off, but it's better than what we have now. Users could allow certain companies' ads they feel comfortable viewing.

The additional benefit for companies would be that they would have a direct finger on the pulse of the market. If they make a decision and they see a lot of users abandon their ads, it was probably a bad decision.

The obvious downside is that people that can use the money will be under the influence of big corporations more.

Truly fair would be to have corporations pay.the users to allow them to show them advertisements.
