Don’t know, but religions created to reign in the masses probably don’t explain it.

There were many religions before the Abrahamic ones.

I have a camera, on my phone. I just want to be able to sync my pictures and videos to my own device, not cloud storage. This is becoming especially prudent in these times of nearly monthly major breaches exposing personal data stored in the cloud, as well as companies deciding to change their terms of service and use your data for purposes you might not want it used for.

I strongly prefer not to have my personal data stored on other people’s computers.

What truly are humanity’s energy needs, though?

Do we need Facebook? Do we need Instagram? Do we need deepfakes and AI music?

This cuts to the heart of it for me. I will not install Meta or LinkedIn apps on my phone because they have been found to be very intrusive.

This is a problem I have yet to see schools tackle. A kid in junior high school has no mental context for the Russian Revolution of 1917, for instance. Having them read Animal Farm is a pointless waste of time.

This and the other accounts critical of COP30 were created very recently. The one above you, 3 hours ago.

Interesting.

Or perhaps anything left of fascist evil is considered controversial?

We can each play this game.

My mom lives on Fox Island, and has no access to the Internet aside from LTE, which is very expensive and unreliable. Hoping she'll get a look from the Starlink team!

Trying to avoid the landmines of blacklisting is really the biggest peril in all of it. I refuse to move a company I support away from GSuite to self-hosted, because I have a high level of confidence that just one person sending a lot of mail to another person outside the company could result in our domain ending up in RBLs, which is very difficult to reverse. Running a mail server in 2019 is not something I need the headache of.
