Ya'll, we need to stop misconstruing "does nothing to help you" with "gives you full control".

If I buy a computer and it comes as a spool of wire and some transistors, I don't have "full control" over my computer, I don't have a computer.

If I have to build the components and the tools from scratch, you haven't given me control, you've given me nothing. Control implies having pieces I can configure or knobs to adjust, not having to make the controls myself just to have anything at all.

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a cow it came up that she has never sat on a horse. Like, not even once during childhood.

Another colleague admitted they also have never sat on a horse.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a horse.

Have you sat on a horse?
