@amolith @coyote I think there is also an element of mobile carriers wanting to sell larger data cap plans in this equation, too.
I'm a data miser, and refuse to pay for more then the minimum I can find. I therefore also refuse to stream anything unless I am on WiFi. If I can't fit the music/video I might want on my phone, I just do without.

“When we choose to store our data online, we're often ceding our claim to it. Companies can decide what type of data they will hold for us, and can willfully delete any data they object to. Unless we've kept a separate copy on our own machines or drives, this data will be lost to us forever. If any of our data is found to be particulalry objectionable or otherwise in violation of the terms of service, the companies can unilaterally delete our accounts, deny us our own data, and yet retain a copy for their own records, which they can then turn over to the authorities without our knowledge or consent.
Ultimately, the privacy of our data depends on the ownership of our data.
There is no property less protected, and yet no property more private.”

@neauoire as a general rule we never open anything in a new tab because it's a bad UX; you can always middle click if you want a new tab but you can't tell if a link is going to force one and there's no way to prevent it from happening if it would
@sir That was an awesome read!

@sir Would I be correct in interpreting "...the default permissions" to mean that the repository owner could enable public posting if (s)he really likes working that way?
I am all for sane defaults, but I also see the value of options.
@amolith A lot of the web developer consultants that I work with prefer using a Mac for Angular/React/Vue/etc development over using Windows for the same.
Personally, I'd use Linux for this type of development, but if my only choices were between Mac and Windows ... I would also pick the Mac.
@ataraxia937@fosstodon.org I voted "Other". Like many of the commenters, I also run with a mix of VPS and in-my-basement servers.
@ph Welcome!

My favorite Carl Sagan quote is one where he's answering a child that just asked him a question:
“I don’t know the answer. Maybe no one knows. Maybe when you grow up, you’ll be the first to find out.”
@amolith That's a nifty feature!
