  notepad doesn’t have spellcheck and if you don’t use a third party firewall to block its network activity it will transmit information about what you put on it to microsoft and the advertising companies its partnered with.

  open office? Libre office? We have options

  are they going to stop censoring people for saying offensive things? That would be good.

  The majority of the shows on most of these services suck anyway.

  But I have to pay hundreds of dollars per month for every single one of these services…because that’s the moral thing to do when I’m only interested in about 1% of the content on most of these services. And I have to buy the same movies multiple times when one of these services decides for my own good that I don’t own it anymore.

  I never torrent or find places to stream these things for free. I would never use mullvad or any of the services offered by torguard to do that. That would be immoral.

  Using torguard VPN, and torguard’s proxy service inside of qbittorrent would be extremely immoral and you should never do that!

  Advocating for free speech rights for a private American company to be beholden to is stupid because it misunderstands everything about free speech laws work and how companies and content moderation work.

  Social media platforms have a liability shield. If they get to be completely faultless for everything that happens on their platform, why do they also get to control what happens on their platforms?

  “It’s a private company and they can do what they want!”

  Is what people say to me when I advocate for the free speech rights of everyone. Now that you don’t like what the private company is doing it’s suddenly bad. All censorship and all throttling is bad.

  the crash was caused by greed, not a lack of people paying.

  I hope every designer of printers that are intentionally shitty get put in stockades in public squares

  There’s no reason for any printer to work the way they all do
