It depends on what you mean by "shorter distances".

Going from Amsterdam to Paris by train is about the same time as going by plane, and actually a bit faster if you show up to the flight two hours early as recommend.

Not always. Flying from Amsterdam to London is cheaper and faster than taking the train. The train is usually sold out because people still prefer it, but...

By self-hosted you mean you have hardware geographically distributed? Like... boxes at friend's houses or...?

All of these were taken by the state, not the workers, which was the question.

I know it's asking a lot, but you could give an example instead of insulting me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I can't think of any examples. Taking over the company requires capital, which is the one thing that capitalists constantly extract from workers so they don't have any.

The workers of xs4all tried when their new corporate owners, KPN, decided to dissolve them. But a combination of lack of funding and unfriendly courts prevented that. They did end up starting a new company though...

Sort of. They can be, but are not always.

My kids both use night lenses. It's awesome.

Is it? Almost every time I use it I end up hitting a bug or missing feature. Just last week I was trying to get Word in Office365 to keep some lines together. I followed the instructions from Microsoft's help and it didn't work. Last month I was trying to get "slide M of N" on the bottom of PowerPoint in Office365, but apparently getting the N is just not supported.

LibreOffice almost always works for me, far more often than Microsoft Office.

I put a tl;dr sentence or two at the top of any e-mail more than a couple of paragraphs. Sometimes for those too.

I run my own email and I have to say I wouldn't recommend it.

The biggest hassle is dealing with either Spamhaus or Microsoft, who apparently at random decide to put my IPs on blacklist, and who provide hurdles to working around this (for Spamhaus) or just say "no" (for Microsoft).
