Agree with regard to centralized funding but decentralized and autonomous practice.

The postal system.
I get that there are private shipping companies and countries, but having a national publicly owned postal system that is coordinated in a centralized way is much much more efficient than any decentralized system could operate for distribution of physical packages.
IMO, the reliability coordinators, transmission owners, and transmission operators should be centralized while generation should be decentralized.
This reminds me, the postal system should be centralized. A decentralized postal system would be an absolute mess.
Yes you're correct. As per the question asked with the "NOT", imo Electrical Grids should not be decentralized while generation should.
Yes distributed generation is good. I said not generation in my first line. The wikipedia article you referenced doesn't mention transmission grid infrastructure, I'm curious, who is responsible for that in a distributed grid anyway?
The maintenance of the transmission lines, smart load balancing, maintenance, etc.
I meant transmission, systems that maintain load balancing, etc. Generation of renewables should be decentralized, but requiring generators to comply with creating transmission lines to rural areas or cities will create a bunch of issues around who is responsible for what, standards mismatch, and extremely high cost for smaller populations. It doesn't seem like a good idea to me.
Electrical grids (not generation)
KDE Falcon and Midori are somewhat up to date alternatives. I use chromium where i can.
I use edge on my Linux desktop because it works well with Microsoft Office web apps. I hate Microsoft and I've gotten into trouble at work for pushing against it vocally but this seems like a minor victory to me that I don't have to use windows to complete my day to day job because Microsoft came to me (Linux) instead of me to them (Windows). Office 365 is still literal trash btw.
IBM is all about saving money. This is an easy excuse to stop donating.
I think the media has done Stallman dirty but seems pretty naive of them not to consult their major sponsors before reapppointing him considering the controversy. Armchair but I would have thought they would have socialized the concept in the advance.
