How was switching to MS supposed to create jobs? Genuine question.

Qwant or Ecosia.

And so would they I suppose. It crosses generations!

What? Why is that?

But then users use it anyway for some reason. Many people care so little.

Firefox offers a real alternative to chrome derivatives. I think it’s what we need to go for too.

Yeah that’s great but I really don’t want OLED on an ereader.

I’m not that surprised. I believe it costs less on itself but there might be a surcharge for installation.

Nothing in this message indicates that is the case.

There absolutely are. And many pay out of their nose for crap they don’t need and is overpriced just because everyone is doing it.

Orrrr drink a ton of it!

How is it different or better?

It’s over 9000 by now.

In theory it is a horrible idea. No port like this ever works out. An incremental approach has much higher chance of success but will take long.

It’s perhaps a communication problem, where the privacy settings should clearly state this. Or these settings shouldn’t be offered. But maybe this current structure is fine for most people?

Regardless, it’s how existing social media used to work. In that sense, federated social media can’t offer an alternative and that could be a problem for some.

The wording can be improved, I think “maximising profit” would fix it. Which is obviously what OP meant as we all understand it.

Why not? I guarantee you would be surprised how great something like Linux Mint is.
