    I think the idealization of this kind of spartan living space is basically the same as the cryptobro idealization of unregulated currency.

    Over time exposure to reality will result in making compromise after compromise to solve each problem that arises until you have reinvented from first principles the very same standards that everyone else in society already arrived at.




  • This is true and people should always be mindful of this. Additionally you should consider not just the ownership of the companies but also the infrastructure they rely on such as their rented servers, payment processors, on-site staff etc. However commercial VPNs remain a convenient compromise for many use cases. These services are probably fine for your shitposing needs but should not be relied upon for activism for instance.


  • Notice that despite the presence of many people who grew up with and use the metric system none are complaining about how hard it was to intuit metric units?

    If you stop telling people what they should find intuitive for a moment and actually listen to people telling you about their experiences then you might find that this is not an issue.
