So how did your lawsuit go against him?
Is this a joke about how Americans sue over everything?

No? If someone does that to you, publishing a bunch of lies and defrauding the government to shut down your business, then suing them is the correct response.

Suing is very costly, takes year and is mentally draining. And in the end they wouldn’t probably not get much if any money, and may even loose or be dropped. So in this case I understand why they wouldn’t want to do it.

It was technology. With greater efficiency, came also greater separation and distance at home and with family and community and our initiatory rituals/rites. We used to use community to pass those down, but now the average American family gets divided from each other at an early age as soon as the distraction and ideology from technology like screens and things social media comes into play.

I'm coming to the conclusion that this is the wrong attitude about FOSS. The "model" is: make it possible for people to obtain the product with as little friction as possible. That serves the platforms hosting the product, but how does that serve me as the Maker? I want feedback, I want community (they're not the same the former is users the latter is other Makers). "But the users will suffer frustration and anxiety…
It all starts with making , though.
