  This is a factual statement. Whether people like how it sounds or not.

  It is true, though lacking fail safes of a real democracy is a dangerous game to play in the long term, even if technically positive in the moment. As most autocratic leaders seek to gain continuous and more power. Or their predecessor does.

  Yeah, a UK friend of mine mentioned that it is meant to prevent kids from playing hooky (ditch school). Meanwhile in Canada, we’re free range children.

  Or does probably depend on the school.

  Manufacturers did give up on that relatively quick. 3DS was a thing around that time too.

  There really needs to be an organized effort from sellers and buyers to identify a solid alternative, which is hard. And post listing about moving off to that platform. A lot of existing ones have their own downsides, and there are just not enough people on them consistently and actively

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Signal – an ethical replacement for WhatsApp⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Outside of North America, most other countries’ use WhatsApp as a choice for personal and business uses is WhatsApp. Rest are mostly dominated by Facebook messenger. Excluding China which has WeChat domestically.
