Can you point to where I said that wanting more money is a "dirty word"? Or can you point to where I said it was wrong to want more money? I don't see anything like that in any of my posts, and I certainly don't believe

You went from "isn't sustainable" to "has to be a worldwide major economic and political powerhouse" and claim that I'm the one that moved the goalposts? lol, ok

Are you suggesting that everyone who wants a pay raise deserves it just because they can build a website? If so, then I want a pay raise. But I'm unwilling to sacrifice my users' security and privacy to do it. Nobody said it was e

Who said they couldn't be paid? Patreon, kickstarter, etc show that you can do what you care about and still make money ethically.

Please point out the strawman in my argument. I currently do not see one, and your statement discredits you as a genuine enquirer. False claims and incredulity don't really help us make progress here. > You don't get locked up

Why not both? I agree with you that they should be blocked because they are wrong, but I'd also agree that they should be blocked because they are slow.

This is the real answer. Decentralized is actually better for most things on the internet, but it is less profitable and harder to control for those on top. I personally believe time will show decentralized systems winning out on the intern

* citation needed That's not been my experience at all. I've been running my own email server for years and I've yet to hear about an email being blocked. I know many other people who run their own email server just fine.

Ah, I see what you mean, and yes, Apple has better permissions control. As it turns out, giving the user ultimate control is really the best way to handle these types of things.

Are you seriously suggesting that people just avoid being falsely arrested? I'm pretty sure that everyone already tries to do that.

I agree with you, but couldn't they be indicators of mental issues? In the same way that me stumbling doesn't mean I'm drunk, but the likelihood of someone stumbling goes up when they are drunk.

But Apple has had a bunch of problems with crapware in their store. If they were actually vetting stuff, then I'd kind of agree, but as it stands, you are being limited on what you can do with your own device, but without the benefits.

I'm sorry, but I could not disagree more. I've only used the store once, and it was just awful. The search was crap, the recommended apps were crap, the way the data was presented is horrible, etc. I didn't downvote you, but

Additionally, what someone considers positive, someone else may consider negative. If I attend an anti-gun rally, who gets to decide if that makes me gain, or lose points?
