What the fuck does that matter? And no, it wasn't made today.

We all grow old. Your situation today may not be the same as tomorrow and you may find your smug self needing social security.
cakeday··on US axes website for reporting human rights abuses by US-armed foreign forces
So many far left conspiracy theories in here, blatant false accusations, assertions and wild fallacies.
cakeday··on Public trust demands open-source voting systems
IIRC, last presidential election that was what we did in our county, voted on a machine, got a prinout, verified it, stuck it in the scanner and was done. I think I'm remembering it right?
cakeday··on How Soon Will the Seas Rise?
Interesting notion, I'd never come across that before. I've seen many demos of what the Earth could look like with all the ice melted but I'm not sure any of them took what you're describing into account.

> This is where I will disagree and stand fast.

You're welcome to do that but you're wrong as far as the majority of selfhosters are concerned. Spend time on https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/ for more information about how widely people define it.

Zero here.

Minor dependency on OCI but no down time at all for any services I run.

Yes, mostly.

"authoritarian regimes"

It seems someone at F-Droid may have a political axe to grind with the current US presidency and the majority of the population of America who elected (1.)them.

cakeday··on Bible and Quran apps flagged NSFW by F-Droid
The US Constitution's First Amendment protects religion from government. There is no amendment protecting porn or gratuitous violence. Marking the religious apps as NSFW may be a violation of the First Amendment and could potentially be challenged in court, to a potentially huge sum of money and F-Droid's potential detriment.
