I did give it a knee-jerk reaction, true. I've since had my morning tea and am mostly just wondering what you get out of yelling at people on the internet. Not that I don't occasionally do the same. Maybe I'm asking you to better understand myself.

Honestly I looked at your comments and they're all just aggressive, and I was genuinely wondering why. You're not trying to share info, and you're not trying to convince anyone of anything. What's the point? Is this helpful to you? It just seems like you're upsetting yourself.

EDIT: Actually, I take that back partially. You are sharing links. On my mobile app I only saw your comments, not your posts.

This article is also only applicable to EU, where (as your link mentions) alternative browsers don't need to be WebKit. Chrome and Firefox are already working on switching.

You need to meet more young people they don't know either specifically because companies like google and apple try to obscure competition by making their way seem like the only way.

Libro.FM as well.

Largely agree. I think the bamboozlers were there the whole time - after all, a lot of early radio was for propaganda purposes. But I do think most companies try to do things the right way, and there was a point when marketing was seen as simple outreach.

Good thoughts. Did you follow the link to thread that was the tipping point for the blog author? The thread creator was very rude (according to, due to his own mental health situation). We all have different levels of tolerance and patience, but I can totally see why the blog author would be fed up after such a comment, if things were already stressful.

Amateur advice. Don't own your own device. ask your friends to look up things for you on their devices, then print them out and mail them to your PO Box. Untraceable.

I don't agree that Wikipedia used to be the only place. There were plenty of competing encyclopedias, it was simply the best long-term.
