@schestowitz Agreed, particularly in the aspect of software being used by public organizations. Using proprietary tools only makes it easier for such organizations to avoid oversight.
@bram Just finished watching a video that addressed an article that mentioned Inrupt. It basically said that, while it may be a better alternative to your info just being out there, the project makes the incorrect assumption that people want ANY data at all on the web. That said, good intentions must be accompanied by good methods. Unless there's something I'm not aware of that may change my opinion, this is a bandwagon I wouldn't be jumping on.
@amolith The other day a friend showed me RimWorld. I proceeded to sink 5-6 hours into it without even noticing. The reason I stopped playing was because it was really late and I needed to get to my own house. So it's safe to say it gets my vote haha.
@frootyram3n I only ever used it when I started university and for a single course. It's pretty functional, but I wouldn't say it's anything out of this world, neat as it is. @_emacsomancer
@mattmcnutt It is indeed, and I believe it reflects how some part of the internet has degraded (IMO), nearly none of the groups/stores/etc I'm interested in (locally speaking, my rss reader is filled to the brim with stuff from all over the world) have a webpage of their own; or, if they do, it's barely maintained with their focus centered on their FB page.
So apparently my university uses Facebook and Instagram (and even Whatsapp statuses), to communicate whether or not clases are going to be suspended for a certain day (among other announcements). But do you know what they *don't* use? The freaking email account they give you when you become a student there.
