Only marginally... maybe. Duopolies are still really shitty for consumers and that's the best outcome to this. Significantly better would be if more people would realise what made internet amazing in the beginning and that logical consequences from that are that public spaces in the internet where the content comes from the people should be owned by the people.

What was unpleasant for you? TrueNAS just works for me and was no hassle at all to setup on my DIY N100 NAS.

Not everything is a binary topic. Politics usually happen on a spectrum. If you have a look at history this was always true and it forever will be.

Yes there is lot to improve in the EU but compared to the US I think it's fair to hope for the EU being the sensible counter force.

Only Google Phones are compatible with gOS. I'd recommend getting a different phone the next time. Xiaomi is a shitty company doing their best at sourcing their resources for the hardware the worst way possible. And they are a privacy nightmare.

You don't have host your whole infrastructure on AWS to be affected by this. Even if you use one of their services it can break the whole site. And depending on what of their services you use Amazon won't necessarily be able to connect tge dots.

Because the left is not controlling the FCC. And ad revenue on cable TV is still a lot higher than on any internet streaming platform. Financing a show like that through streams is a lot more difficult.

These local TV stations basically just broadcast ABC content with added local news and ads. It does not matter where you watch Kimmel - the views are still aggregated at Disney and they still benefit from them.

Okay, so the latter.

Just because a cliché exist does not mean it's actually true. People that are complaining about a lot on the Internet are maybe more likely to spend too much time on the Internet in general and by that are more likely to have a lack of social skills in the real world.

To counter that anecdotally: in my social circle a lot couples spawned from a previous social connection and there are only a few that meet through dating apps or where a random hook up in the first place.

Do you have any statistics backing up that claim or is that purely anecdotal/an subjective assumption?

Huh? This literally what the meme is about and you are having a discussion in it's comment section beneath?

No need to be sexist and get on their level.
