@MG @hardmous What was there first common application with default colour-scheme of white text on blue background? WordPerfect? It couldn't have been earlier than 1981 when CGA came out for the IBM PC.

@protestation (Not that material wealth is the be-all-end-all, but it is a choice a lot of people make.) All of us with the resources and leisure time to sit typing our opinions into the Internet should be especially grateful. (2/2)

@protestation Capitalism, or the Free Market system is based on everyone, rich and poor, freely choosing how to use their own property and time. It's not a perfect system, and if there is unfair exploitation or someone assembling a secret police force, then there should be reforms. But the Free Market system is responsible for the greatest explosion of material wealth at all levels of society. (1/2)

@tomasino @maiki More like Dark Galadriel who accepts the One Ring from Frodo.

Can anyone create an account on the #SDF #Mastodon instance or only SDF members? If I want to invite non-SDF friends to try the Mastodon, what instance should I ask them to join?
