I agree with you here but I wouldn’t want to pay for a host for some FOSS project and I wouldn’t host that on my own IP either.

Decades is far from infinite

Idk about infinite, if they stop getting updates they will eventually get phased out and if you can’t download the application it’s also dead. All that aside the sun is going to go super nova eventually.

Also a lot of people don’t want to self host. I doubt you self host your own Lemmy instance for instance.

If coffee is a tea then I’m going to demand the pasta tea not be poured down the drain

To me it looks like they think of the Internet like corporations do and needing growth to justify investment. I think that’s fair reasoning for sites that are profit driven but Lemmy isn’t.

Sure but when I’m not on my network a VPN doing that is good.

But some VPNs do provide you a little protection on things you might click on. Ublock and not being a dummy will get you around most of that use but for general users it is more safe.

There are far more uses for a VPN. For instance if I want to access my NAS while outside my home.

This building looks like I feel clocking in for work.

Because it’s like old forums where the first person to comment gets engagement

She’s right, she is that some people.

I worked in supporting those and I had an easier time helping people with windows phones. 🤢

But they’re talking mainstream support and windows is much more popular.

Well um actually a Linux workstation would be GNU/Linux and chromeos is only the Linux kernel. /s

I’m not going to pay for Spotify either. Music should be a federated platform where you can purchase music directly from the artist and not pay massive corporations like Spotify, Google, or Apple for the luxury of doing nothing.

I just can’t get over the walled garden and shit notifications. Like, fuck Google but why can’t I own my device.

Some VPNs advertise they stop malware so I get why they say that but you’re right.

Looks like mostly nachos

When subtraction is equivalent to addition because capitalists needs to justify owning the means of production.

Sues corning for making all that glass that transmitted the piracy.
