Regardless of the size of the sponsor, commercial sponsorship would be fine, as long as they don't post ads or try to influence the content in any way.

Unfortunately, that's a combination that likely will never happen. Imagine if Reddit never had ads or bowed down to corporate pressure. That's not a viable business model for a capitalist organization.

It's in the app store. You don't have to do that. If you're talking about the server, that's pretty easy.

Yeah. 2 things stop piracy, a fair price and quality content. We don't have either.

The grift is 100% there but I think he does want to be president again because he believes that that will absolve all crimes.

I realize that I may be in the minority here, but I used to be a landlord. I never charged full market rate, and I always took care of my tenants. I never kept any security deposit money. One tenant had a breakup, and I showed up that evening with a locksmith to change her locks so he wouldn't be a problem. That cost me some money but it didn't cost her anything. I mean, they're paying for service you need to provide service.

I'd say Bernie is one of the exceptions. They are rare.

They don't need the computer to see everywhere you've gone. I've never heard of anyone getting in trouble for clearing their history, but lots of people who have had problems visiting questionable sites.

Service providers in many countries are required by law to do this through DNS for years. The UK, Italy, Germany and Brazil are just a few that I've had personal experience with. Moving this to the browser really isn't necessary since there will always be easy ways around these types of blocks.

My instance's owner has a Patreon. I give there. I definitely recommend that others do the same.
