No, their customer base is now American Libertarians, not FOSS and privacy-centric people.

There is a mild overlap, but the actual target demographic has been made much clearer recently.

Because it sends a message that they do not support community-driven projects and will instead support large, corporate social media.

It would not have meant anything if they were never on Mastodon in the first place.

Article seems to have a hard paywall? Even 12ft.io can't bypass it.

Exactly, reading is almost always more convenient and faster.

You know what you said, we know what your goal is. Let's not confuse the multiple meanings of the word "state" here.

I personally generally much prefer text content, and get disappointed when I click and get a video or audio instead

Fuck you and your unprompted attack on neurodivergent people, and fuck your "oh I ruffled a few feathers" when you directly and objectively insult and generalize an entire group of people.

You sound insufferable, this is is not how you get help nor make friends. Too bad for you, but a large amount of people in tech are neurodivergent, and your post is gonna make sure that all those knowledgeable people now won't want to help you.

Their domain name should really have been madein.ca, because now it says made in caca

Absolutely, I'm not stating that the US' water is undrinkable, simply that enough municipalities have poor quality or non-drinkable water that it's easier for companies to market water bottles to people.

Stories like Flint, Mi. go international, and its crisis lasted for a really long time, despite being mostly the exception (see the other commenter's Wikipedia link). And public access water fountains are not a thing in many cities, leading to an even greater perceived scarcity by consumers.

My point above was that enough municipalities have a drinking water quality problem to drive sales of water bottles across the country, the US' drinking water is not bad across the world stage, but probably worse than most western European countries.

The solution should be either a water filter, or a filtered water dispenser from a refillable jug. Not disposable water bottles.

I love the smell of electronics! What I'm referencing is indeed the bitter compound they put on Switch cartridges, it tastes really bad and you taste it for a really long time, a stern warning to would-be choking children.

That's how you state a fact, not an opinion.
