If I had to choose glass or plastic, I am always choosing glass. Glass is such a good material. It is infinitely recyclable, the bottles can be reused for several years, and if they are buried they don't release microplastics.

Am just gonna like yours to show my split opinion.

That would require having a platform worth something. Currently, they sank millions into the community - but in the wrong way. The client still lacks basic features and yet they spend money to buy exclusivity.

Fuck them, they don't deserve shit - praise or money.

At least you won't get shot or tried (looking at you NK). It is not easy, but not impossible, and there is a tipping point, which is different for everyone as people have different values and scales.

For someone, paying 10$ an egg is survivable as long as their family is close.

They probably meant company's own RSS feed, so they have to use Mastodon.

News are (rage) bait by design. They have to get you click the article, it is the only way they can make money.

I wouldn't really consider news as something unique to any platform. I was thinking user made content.

Who knew, taking away algorithm-fed drama and rage bait doesn't really excite the brain. But it can be a nice replacement for Twitter, when someone had withdrawal effects.

Do not move anywhere in the US, just move out.

An exception to the rule

But both cursive and manual stick shift (at least in the USA) are being used less and less, but computers are being used more, while literacy goes down.

I think it has to do with barrier of entry. Way back in the day, you had to be quite the hacker to operate a computer (say Amiga or ZX Spectrum). Then, with Windows XP (or 98), it became easier to operate one, but some tasks still required clever ways to solve. Fast forward to now, all you have to do is click one icon at the bottom bar, write what you want in the top bar, and you got a billion answers.

Most of the stuff I learned was because the path to successfully perform stuff required knowing lots of different stuff.

For context, first PC was Win 98 when I was 7, born 1996.

I mean, one less asshole is still a win.
