Sounds incredibly wrong but ok

Thank you for the thoughtful response and not just downvoting like most others!

Their servers are slow, I have seen that myself, but I don’t see how it wouldn’t be cheaper to use AWS other than maybe some highly specific scenarios.

I have not seen that claim until now. I always have been told the entire existence of AWS is because it’s way cheaper than self hosting and that makes sense to me

You’re saying a single company can buy and maintain a server infrastructure cheaper than rates like .0001 cent per request? Yeah I don’t quite believe that. An entire industry moved to using AWS because it was cheaper.

AWS sucks for several reasons but let’s not pretend it’s more expensive than self hosting

I don’t necessarily agree with everything you wrote but you do raise a great point of this issue not getting much attention.

Not worth it

What does that mean?

That’s really discouraging to read… France has had me thinking it was far closer to a utopia than most countries. I guess I shouldn’t ever get my hopes up.

Grain of salad?

Okay. Not sure what “shady stuff” means, but Chromium is certainly worse for the user in any way I can interpret as “shady”.

It’s also anti-open web since it’s just chromium. Nothing superior for your privacy over Firefox.

Personally I don’t think mods who shield someone like UniversalMonk for months should be allowed to mod.

If the options were only instant coffee and Keurig, the practice of drinking coffee would be a mystery to me. Not even sure which one of those tastes worse

I don’t know what Israel’s term limits are or anything but I remember years ago learning he was on audio accepting a bribe and was probably going to be prosecuted. No wonder America and Israel are so friendly. Both corrupt to the core

Or if you’re in the US where all healthcare is absolute dogshit.

I’ve read more than once that the key to walking faster is taking shorter more frequent strides. Feels weird to me but apparently works for others

Yeah. Sad the only thing slowing that may be the EU. I hope they slap down Google as well

Yep. Although that is the only way they’ve ever operated. They will never change without the force of law.
