If you're ever in a room with a bunch of people, look at their shoes. In spite of shoes being a mass produced item, virtually everyone has different shoes on. Somebody paid a human being to design all those shoes, and even for the cheapest ones the design is constantly changing. -

Power BI is just straight but you pay a royalty to Microsoft every month.
BI365 is a great service, basically they just take something that previously you didn't have to pay for every month and make it so you have to pay for it every month. Big companies love it. -

There's a haiku from the era where Japan reentered the world after centuries of isolation after their warring states period:
泰平の
眠りを覚ます
上喜撰
たった四杯で
夜も眠れず
As it's been explained to me, it can be interpreted as talking about drinking just a few cups of tea, or of just a few steam ships, and then keeping you awake at night. Such duality of meaning is common.
For a culture with a poetic culture like that it's tough for me not to notice the resemblance and wonder if there was some intentionality in naming the new capital the opposite of the old capital on the other side of the island.
That being said, the two names are etymologically different and I'm not aware of any evidence that it's true. I'm just demonstrating maximum weebosity -

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Everyone needs to separate themselves from the big tech monopolies to the absolute greatest extent possible. That's the only path forward.
The more these companies abuse their power, the more we need to remove them from the source of that power.
Since at the end of the day, we are the source of that power, whether it's paid software or free software, paid services or free services. -

@clacke I put the word into fbxl translate and it kicked out the word "Home". Don't know how trustworthy that is, mind you. -

@clacke that's how federation on peertube works. Most of the videos I watch on my own instance come from another instance altogether.
