Have you heard about context? The post and my reply were about purchases and online data. And naturally, "everything FOSS" is about stuff you can run on said root-server. Which would be email and cloud-storage. Bought music and videos. Stuff of value.

It was also about people who care. I don't protect my stuff out of fear. It's worth something to me. I don't eat healthy out of fear, but because I'm worth something. I care about my parents, not out of fear they might die, but because I value their life. You have it the wrong way buddy.

You somehow made it about smartphones and illiterate elderly people. I never said "everyone needs to do it" I said it's the way to go, and then showed ways how even illiterate and elderly people could do it, if it would be important to them. By using standard ways of using services. Like people do. And that I did only because you said that they couldn't.

What is your problem with generalizing? Underprivileged people? What? It's about people who care. And they find a way. Are you aware that all of that stuff can be run on a $25 minicomputer?

You obviously don't care, but rather enjoy misquoting people, so it fits your agenda. And then going the narcissistic route and belittling them.

You don't care. Fine. Many people do, from all areas of life. And people manage, because they care. You have a disabling attitude and act like a victim. Fine. Be that way. Live in fear of the actual world. I hope it won't bite you in the ass.

And I really don't know why I should phrase my posts so that a media addicted person is interested in them. I don't care what you do. At all. Value your possessions, don't value them.

Self-hosted private data run on FOSS is the way to go. Period. Things one buys and own should be theirs to keep.
