I mean that's not even a little correct.

Streaming allows you to watch videos on demand, and allows you to choose from a littany of providers, where you were previously limited to whoever laid cable in your neighborhood.

...but it's not. And I really think people either don't understand that or they are intentionally misrepresenting the situation.

Being level-headed and fact-driven isn't "corporate apologist", it's how you maintain integrity and don't derail your own movement by being dishonest about shit that doesn't even matter.

It's like when Trump lies about his golf games. No one cares about his golf games but it makes you realize that if he's willing to blatantly and badly lie about something so trivial, he's probably also lying about absolutely everything else about him that might even remotely appear negative.

The entire FAQ doesn't spend a syllable saying what it is for, except that its like Terraform.

It seems to be some sort of trend to absolutely never explain what your product is or how it works. Especially not on the main page. It's just "click here to sign up now"!

The case centers around Samantha Liapes, a 48-year-old woman who turned to Facebook to find an insurance provider.

I'm sorry, whatnow?

So now if I search for car insurance and Facebook shows me ads for a buttplug from Kickstarter, I can sue them? Because we're all going to very rich, if so.

You wouldn't need any kind of special training for this. Just the ability to do simple things like make calendar appointments, draft emails/responses, and set reminders based on time/locations/etc. It really doesn't seem very complicated but as far as I know no one has figured out how to do it yet. All the existing "assistants" are so bad that I don't even bother trying to use them anymore. They can't even do something simple like turning on a light with any degree of reliability.

I think Tailscale is what you're looking for.

Signal has Stories too

not sure about Telegram but you can very easily disable Stories on Signal

I quite like them though as, to my knowledge, it's the only form of private social media in existence at this point

Matrix is fine but it collects a large amount of metadata
