As a revolution, the American revolution was a complete failure at overthrowing the British government, got no where near Parliament. It was a very successful war of secession which resulted in independence from the British government. There has been other successful wars of secession, though many such as various ones in Africa ended up authoritarian.
The Russian revolution resulted in an Authoritarian State with brief periods of democracy and is still authoritarian.
The French revolutions, as you state, resulted in a mixture of democracy and authoritarianism.
A good example of a successful revolution was the Glorious Revolution of 1688, which actually had little violence as revolutions go and resulted in neutering the power of the King in favour of Parliament, with Parliament slowly getting more democratic since then.

You kind of need actual viable alternatives if you want to migrate off something.

It's called a private cloud, it's not rocket surgery, we were doing clustering with machines with only dozens of MHz clock speeds and less RAM than most modern embedded platforms back in the nineties.

I use Firefox with UBO and occasionally youtube gets mad for a day or two, then it works again. Yes, I've run updates manually.

I still recommend it as long as it works, though.

Sadly I can't recommend Firefox for mobile any more. It crashes on me every day, sometimes multiple times, when using javascript-heavy sites.

It's the techbros who don't understand it, obviously. You agreed to install one thing, they took it as permission to install another thing. Conversely, they also offer to support you, then they release the same product under another name and tell you to go fuck yourself. That shit is fucked both coming and going and you're here to defend it.

So we're back to blaming voters for everything. As if we really had a say in how things were going to run.

We do, but we don't get it until we swap the thoughts and prayers for torches and pitchforks. As long as we spend our time fighting over scraps while the billionaires feast, we will deserve the nothing we get.
