If they existed to feed people, not to maximize profits, there'd be no issue. But like so much else that has emerged in the last 15 years, they came to be because money was free and the people with it were taking bets on "disrupting" technologies. Now that money has a cost again, investors are unwilling to wait on the tech to mature, or on the existing markets to crumble.

Right. So, the actual danger here is... Search engines?
Let's assume your hypothetical here isnt bonkers: How, exactly, do you propose limiting people's access to linear algebra?
I thought her fans were mostly young girls
Uhh, that was 15 years ago. The core of her fan base is, like, in their 20s and 30s now.
This was definitely one of the cutest of the shots I got. Though, theyhave this feathery plumes on their fronts and backs that make them kind of adorable from all angles
Now do Pathfinder goblins.
The idea has merit for anyone living in remote areas (northern Canada, war-torn areas, etc.)
I will grant you war torn areas, and remote islands, but rural continental communities are better served with terrestrial infrastructure. Just because someone's willing to fill the sky with space junk as a means of masturbation doesn't mean it's the best solution for public infrastructure.
Modern depictions of Jesus in shambles.
Land of the free, home of the "long hair is only for girls".
Yes, but it's not documented, so it's not actionable, and the people not in management who end up getting the bonuses or raises in any given year often actively work to undermine any efforts to speak out or organize against these practices.
They pick enough people to actually get the pat on the head to keep the workers collectively destabilized and worried about what each other are saying.
I once had a manager -- who was new to being in charge of reports -- just outright admit in my annual review that he had to find negatives to ding me with when I asked him why no one had ever mentioned any of the issues he was bringing up to me at any time before the review. But when my closest co-workers (who were in other departments) were the ones who got the 5-star ratings and the raises, it would have just come across as sour grapes if I had said something.
It's not that hard to socially engineer an environment where it looks like individual efforts are encouraged and rewarded while simultaneously discouraging those efforts and refusing to reward them when they pay dividends.
mostly just a history of bad choices
What a weird way to spell "chronically overstressed".
Can confirm. I find Firefish (formerly Calckey) a much nicer, much more refined, and much more expressive piece of kit.
I've liked Akkoma, too. And there's something really comforting about Friendica, with its "Facebook as it should have been" interface.
