Exactly, what a weird american way to measure network. I've traveled to many places around the world and bandwidth is rarely directly capped. It's usually unlimited* with a speed cap. Right now for example I'm paying 50$ for

You somehow imply that it's impossible to get rid of crime without getting rid of privacy which is an absurd claim. Finally if you take a look at pure math - most of worlds suffering, evil and death is inflicted by world's governm

Very cool! I've been using svgrepo.com since it's inception and it has been a real life saver! Maybe you should consider submitting your work there?

Sorry didn't mean to offend you. However I'd urge you to stay optimistic — you made a great thing that inspired and taught a lot of people and probably had a lot of fun while making it! Not everything needs to be measured in sheke
