How is responding nope make sense? Many people don't know to build immich or ZFS etc. I do know some self-hosters losing data from just a poweroutage etc. So there are self-hosters that also cry.

Hmmm.. not everyone is talented in keeping software up to date. A selling homemade earrings can use something like shopify or paypal or stripe easily. Do you use visa or mastercard? That is SaaS. The main thing govts need to do is to force

Even if it is every 6 months one program is easier to update and control than different ones. Usually even if Ubuntu or Windows is never updated - download and updating firefox is stable. Nothing fails. But if one thinks something like KDE

1. Easier to keep one program update. i.e browser. use firefox (or its nerfed clones) if you hate Google or Apple 2. For any decent software it needs update. Even most opensource tools are hundreds of MB. For example, a school teacher in Za

UK is millions of times better than Qatar but BBC is not too great. Somethings are great with BBC not everything. Fox news? Qatar doesn't micromanage everything.

Most of the time - all input ports are blocked. Kinda provides security. Works fine as if things are so dire most academia would be hacked. - these are not valuable like data from SSN or bank. So fewer attacks. - if something gets f*ked - i

The point is tech savvy users can do all sorts of things like ublock origin, DNS, dumb TV etc The majority of users in this world don't. So there will some people left out to suffer ads/tracking etc.
