And how about if I decide to go out with my cousin this fall to hunt a few animals in the most painful and excruciating way possible, prolonging their death for the thrill of the hunt?

Have you tried Owncast for self-hosted FOSS fediverse streaming? You literally can’t get banned on it because you host your own stream, same with self-hosting a lemmy instance. Like, other streaming instances can defederate from you, but you can never be banned off your own stream.
Because of you I just had two slices of bacon and two eggs for breakfast, how does that make you feel? I’ve also got at least 15 chicken wings and drumsticks in my fridge and a couple racks of beef ribs, along with several wedges of hard and soft cow cheeses. How does that make you feel?
Highly recommend Firefox with uBlock origin, and there’s an addon called bypass paywalls clean which does exactly what it says.

The stuff BlackCat stole and haven’t released yet.
Do you want more unions?
Yes.
One sentence: The presentation explores the enshittification of tech companies, outlines a three-step plan involving breaking up big tech, promoting interoperability, and restoring hacking rights, with the goal of creating a user-empowered, open internet.
Longer summary:
The user laments the current state of the internet, particularly focusing on Facebook as a case study. They discuss the stages of “enshittification,” where platforms start by benefiting users, then shift focus to business customers, and finally extract value for themselves, leading to platform decay. The user also explores the role of antitrust issues, lack of competition, and how big tech companies exploit low switching costs and impede adversarial interoperability. The talk emphasizes the need for policy changes to build a new, better internet.
The speaker elaborates on the concept of “enshittification,” where tech companies consolidate power, manipulate platforms, and resist competition. They propose a three-step plan to counter this: break up big tech companies, promote interoperability through laws like the Digital Markets Act, and restore the right to modify and hack services. The goal is to create a new, open internet that empowers users and prevents unchecked corporate influence. The speaker emphasizes the need for public support and involvement to shape a better future for technology.
Not forever - maybe - but until then, government employees trying to log onto government services like iFTDTL or NSIPS or half a dozen other sites, as well as students logging into their university email or corporate employees logging into enterprise networks are stuck on Google apps or Google-adjacent like Edge.
School/university online classes and messaging/collaboration
Business enterprise messaging/collaboration locked to Google services
Business enterprise sites locked to Chromium based browsers
Government sites locked to Chromium based browsers
Why not switch to Linux and FOSS alternatives?
With the post-scarcity caveat firmly in place, it would work great, actually.
That ratio says otherwise.
Deuteronomy 20:16-18
16 However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. 17 Completely destroy[a] them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you. 18 Otherwise, they will teach you to follow all the detestable things they do in worshiping their gods, and you will sin against the Lord your God.

Ublock Origin?
One Starbucks I went to in California wouldn’t, they were “fully cashless” and proud of it. I tried, they just wouldn’t accept it.
Sure there will, always. Fix it yourself jalopies aren’t going away. Get yourself a cheap-o used junker and mod it to be electric, if you can’t or won’t use ICE. DIY isn’t just 3d printers and FOSS. Or get a bicycle and mod it into an e-bike.
How do I migrate all my grouped tabs from Chrome Mobile to Firefox/Librewolf/Waterfox/etc? Which one is best?
That’s true, but that’s also still a lot of incandescent light bulbs. I guess you have to compromise somewhere, for now at least.
I was just quoting the article. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I assumed, perhaps wrongly, that the writer knew what they were talking about, which I guess was wrong of me.
Those are amazing!
