But then what incentive would keep the owners owning everything?

In practice range seems to be a few kilometers, in places with lots of nodes.

Very sunny places, like Los Vegas.

In the Netherlands plastic waste is mostly burned, I believe.

I remember when cans used to have tabs that tore off. These were changed to the current model, where the tab stays attached after the can is opened.

People complained that they couldn’t drink properly with the new tab design. I guess they either figured it out, died, started using a glass, or gave up drinks in cans completely, since I haven’t heard this complaint in decades.

Anyway, I hope you figure it out, comrade! Good luck!

Could be here?

By self-hosted you mean you have hardware geographically distributed? Like… boxes at friend’s houses or…?

All of these were taken by the state, not the workers, which was the question.

I know it’s asking a lot, but you could give an example instead of insulting me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I can’t think of any examples. Taking over the company requires capital, which is the one thing that capitalists constantly extract from workers so they don’t have any.

The workers of xs4all tried when their new corporate owners, KPN, decided to dissolve them. But a combination of lack of funding and unfriendly courts prevented that. They did end up starting a new company though…

Sort of. They can be, but are not always.

We’ve already got free software for filing taxes, kthxbye!

Is it? Almost every time I use it I end up hitting a bug or missing feature. Just last week I was trying to get Word in Office365 to keep some lines together. I followed the instructions from Microsoft’s help and it didn’t work. Last month I was trying to get “slide M of N” on the bottom of PowerPoint in Office365, but apparently getting the N is just not supported.

LibreOffice almost always works for me, far more often than Microsoft Office.

I think we’re agreeing. I mean, if your neighbor paints their mailbox with a rainbow then that’s something that will make your house harder to sell.

I put a tl;dr sentence or two at the top of any e-mail more than a couple of paragraphs. Sometimes for those too.

I run my own email and I have to say I wouldn’t recommend it.

The biggest hassle is dealing with either Spamhaus or Microsoft, who apparently at random decide to put my IPs on blacklist, and who provide hurdles to working around this (for Spamhaus) or just say “no” (for Microsoft).

I think because for most Americans their home is their single largest asset - usually their only one with any resale value. So they jealousy guard against anything that might reduce the value, like a neighbor who does anything out of the blandest, most ordinary things.

I was about 80% successful switching to Signal from Telegram. So worthwhile.

A huge portion of the Netherlands works part time by choice. So, yes, many people voluntarily waive parts of their salary.

I’d take that power.
