Ha ha!

Your quick posting of games so fast makes you seem like a bot that I will block.

I’m really trying to avoid all Meta products, but Quest 3 seems to have the best reviews and there are some good refurbished and used deals.

I’m not sure what to pick instead, while being cheap and having a PC about 7 years old.

Laughs in blocking a user with such a troubled comment history.

Really can’t trust their software if they flat out lie like that.

How do you not know what button 8407 does?

If you don’t know you don’t need to reply.

What’s the purpose of making fun of someone for asking a question to try to learn?

I do get a billing error about every 2 or 3 years. Usually something like they double bill a month, or the price for just 1 month is suddenly 2x - 3x the normal price.

I’ve used them for probably 2 decades, getter in because of the $1/month for a year deal.

I think I’m on the top, or 2nd from the top, tier. Has unlimited disk space, but it’s not open access from the start. Every so many tens of GB you have to call to get the soft limit raised. They are trying to keep a bot from just filling the space up.

I use their hosted WordPress, so that they handle the upgrading.

I also have run a few wiki sites on there. Those install and run fine.

I wish I could figure out if I could install OwnCloud or such on there. I’m not great with Linux. You don’t have rights to the OS, but anything you access through a webpage or FTP you can put there. You should have access to chron jobs, but my skills aren’t there yet.

I mainly use them to host my own email domain, that I then access from gMail.

Biggest problem I’ve had with them is they will charge extra if you use a phased-out version of Python. So you have to make sure you keep anything using Python updated.

You’ll be forced to use only Windows forever.

Think of all the Russian jobs spreading misinformation on Tik Tok that will be lost!

Better question: Will the world rejoice in having a social media network without Americans?

It’s worked for Windows?

I am not talking about jank yolo prayer work. I’m talking about people learning how to do something properly. Duct tape a car is not the repair I’m talking about.

You are complaining about there not being enough skilled workers today. I’m talking about people learning the skills over time.

Look at how many types of food and products are starting to promote cleaner ingredients and more sustainable materials as people are starting to learn more about their health and the environment. People can learn and thing can get better.

I’m not saying that today everyone should push a button and start self hosting. I’m saying it would be great if more people learn to self host and that there are benefits to people learning more.

People don’t just absorb knowledge. It will require education programs.

Did you know how to do everything before you started?

More self hosting would improve the “average” person baseline.

Education of people is always(?) better, I’d say.

It’s good to exercise the mind, just like exercising the body.

What if 25% of car drivers could handle their own car maintenance? The one downside people will scream at first is that fewer mechanics will be needed.

But that is too short sided.

More home mechanics will need to buy more tools, so that’s more store jobs and more manufacturing jobs and more shipping/trucking jobs.

And more people who understand mechanics mean a better workforce who can invent new/better products or processes. And can do more research into manufacturing science, which would improve society.

This would also lead to safer cars because they are better roadworthy, and car manufacturers would have a harder time using low quality parts.

So all of those changes would apply to technology when more people know how to use technology.

Continents as a whole, probably.

I’m not sure how the weight of fossils adds up over the eons, but probably not enough to change things.

I’m not aware of the ice age having changed plate tectonics, and that a lot of weight. Maybe someone knows if it affected volcanoes.

The top shape would be different because of plants holding back erosion and life having changed the chemical makeup of the air.

That was a pretty solid reasoning path. Nice work! (Not sarcasm)
