I’m perfectly fine if commercial platforms like YouTube go out of business. This will create space for smaller platforms run by users as a hobby instead of a business, which I think would lead to a healthier media ecosystem. Additionally, advertising is not a healthy activity for society. Spending resources to manipulate people is not really beneficial to humanity as a whole. If it were up to me, it would be banned.

This is not a letter from 2002 though.
Nah it usually needs to apologize.
Hey my wife’s favorite dinosaur is also pachycechalosaurus. Good pick in my experience.
I have been meaning to give it another go. You think it’s easier these days?
It’s been like 15 years so I don’t remember but I remember one wouldn’t work due to a proprietary driver. The other I just couldn’t figure out so it may be user error but it certainly wasn’t easy to set up.
Once was a proprietary driver. Obviously not the fault of Linux but still an obstacle for me. The other I forgot the issue. It may have been solvable but it was not easy for me.
Well not the ones I tried. Maybe I had bad luck.
If you want to reach your audience, you have to be on a platform they use. Despite loss of users, Twitter still has a much larger audience than alternatives. This remains a problem for people seeking alternatives. In my view the best approach is to use both and promote the less popular but better platform on the bad one. But this takes knowledge of what alternatives exist, willingness to learn them, and of course extra time.
I am sure it is true in at least some sense because they would be called on an outright lie but there are many ways you can deceive with true numbers. And I don’t trust them to be fully honest.
But if it is accurate I’d like to see an independent analysis rather than the company’s spin on it.
Rural areas are generally much more dangerous than cities on average. Not sure how Chicago specifically compares.
