does not compute. how does this response help me understand? i have read through a bunch of stuff but question has not been answered. what have i missed? pls advise.

convenience is my guess, since so many ppl are in the google/gmail ecosystem. it just makes sense for most to be part of the same for communication purposes. i mean, it makes sense, but it sucks.

been slowly helping ppl in my circle of influence, which is mostly comprised of ios/mac users, ween off the google teet & helping them dip their toes in the open source world. it’s an uphill battle, but one i’m willing to fight.

amazing ( ◠‿◠ )

so tired. so, so tired.

this is in no way dull! thoroughly enjoyed reading through, cheers!

“look at what this man did, not what i’ve done!”

-adams, prob

wow, what a wild read.

tldr:

The imminent passing of the Crucial Communism Teaching Act harkens back to earlier anti-communist periods in American history, namely the Red Scare of the 1910s and the McCarthyist era of the 1940s and 1950s.

During those times, organized labor movements were ruthlessly attacked, workers from all professions, including professors, government officials, and teachers, were fired en masse, and some of America’s brightest minds had their careers derailed due to their political leanings.

stay safe out there, regardless.
