Historians are not going to be looking back at them very nicely.

While I understand the anger at the residential system I wouldn't go and burn the buildings down. My mom is a residential school survivor and I'm sure it was a significant factor that affected that side of my family in various (negative) ways. I still wouldn't go and burn down the church.
At first this was the funniest thing I read all day. Then on further thought it made me sad.
Who in their right mind at Netflix thought that putting out games would be a viable source of revenue.
I might just import these over to my server.
Not sure I've ever run into anyone who seems to have put so much thought into this. Good stuff.
Even if your security oriented it seems many frown upon any self hosting whatsoever.
I got a small team in school to all adopt my self hosted Matrix as a chat solution for a project we were working on throughout the year. It was great. Everyone jumped back to Discord after we graduated though.
This pretty much nails where I was in my previous job, where I was for years. In a better place now because I went back to school and got a different much better job (easier in a lot of ways, and much better pay and opportunities). I had to dig myself out of my wage-slavery and it took some time and dedication. I still think about the next paycheck but the stress is much lower now.
Obviously sarcasm guys, cut this guy some slack
Yes. What they specifically did though was extend the protocol so that anyone who wasn't using their version of XMPP via Google Talk would be incompatible or seem "broken" when it really wasn't. It's just that they were using non-standard features, both incentivizing people to just switch to Google Talk and for development on the core protocol to slow down.
I bet money Threads is going to do the same thing. They'll introduce Threads only features that don't work with all the standard Activitypub implementations, causing frustration with Thread users and putting pressure on people to just jump ship to Threads from standard Activitypub implementations.
Legality has nothing to do with morality. People who think this are cop apologists and are probably the type to just follow orders in a fascist society.
