  • Professional help costs a money that these non-profit often don’t have.
    Peers help is often also unhelpful and misleading. You can assume that among these non-profit using that service, a lot of them subscribed based on advices from other users.

    No you don’t see people walking in the middle of the street oblivious to the traffic. But if “common knowledge” was cars never hit anyone, you would see people doing it.

    MS not only knows that, but they wanted that situation, making their products incompatible with their own standards in order to let people believe that “nothing else works correctly”.

    Now they have it. They should be hold fully responsible for what they claimed, offered and therefore deleted.

    You don’t blame victims of elaborate scams for being victims.






  • Yep. The UK exited under far-right influence. Italy has already elected fascist. France is nearing the end of 10 years of neo-liberalism, that of course includes a “fuck what the people wants” attitude and oligarchy’s controlled medias. The far-right candidate is the favorite for next year’s presidential election.

    At the EU level, we’re not there yet, but far-right is now well represented. It just drags a bit vs the nations.

    Oligarchs wants the EU dead. They’re getting there.




  • We had a competitor in Canada, way before Marketplace: Kijiji.

    It is not nearly dead yet, but if you want to avoid Meta at all cost, be ready to miss a good 80–90% of buyers and sellers (estimate provided by the Royal Institute of Guessworking).

    That means there are things you’ll never find even if they are sold. And things you’ll never sell even if there are people looking for them.

    The main difference between them is marketplace is embedded in FB app. You can search FB and find offers. That’s it. That’s how it won.

    For most people, FB is just convenient: all in one app. Why install another? With another registration. Another site to browse. etc.

    Building a competitor… easier said than done!
