There’s no liability, they can mess up all they want and we just suffer for it.

I don’t use google and Twitter because the pages are fucking unusable even on a modern browser because of stuff like this. Once you adopt that attitude “making” large corporations behave reasonably stops being something you worry about.

> it's weird that this even happens/is possible. It’s not. This will happen with any chat app that is locked to a single service. Stop using those.

WhatsApp used to be one of those and it changed. With the exception of matrix there’s nothing to stop the same thing from happening with the others.

I’d pay for a community maintained palm pilot with a dot matrix or e-ink display that had similar battery life and an open source palm OS.

Tk and gtk2 apps were performant and used way less memory so that doesn’t seem like it should be necessary.

Apple shipped X11. It’s really just Microsoft.

It sounds odd to hear about typewriters outside of prisons. After all the games Apple and Microsoft have been playing I’m not sure they’re a bad idea though.

I’m not ok with it. Nothing in my house runs Windows and even my phone runs Linux with a fairly normal X11 DE at this point. At work all the coorperate crapware makes the machine so unstable anyway Microsoft’s malware would just be one more
