Also social media algorithms are designed to make you dependent, the same way cigarettes are designed to be "nicotine delivery devices" to hook you up.

Social media. Algorithms designed to make you dependent are highly toxic from a psychological perspective and it makes it really easy to spread propaganda and create social dissent. I hope there will be laws controlling it in 50 years, the same way there are laws now against tobacco.
Thanks my friend! I mainly use a system 76 machine with popOS these days, which is quite a nice os but I always thought that crunchbang had the perfect balance between simplicity and usability. I'll try it sometime this week. So it would seem it still has conky included ;)
Hot shit I'm home and I didn't even know!
Not a lawyer, but if it's unfair I suppose it could be considered as such. I'm sure Musk has enough money to put a few good lawyers make that case.
Wait crunchbang has undied??
Well I myself have a problem with this blaming game going on. Big corporations say they do their best and try to make people feel guilty about their lifestyle choices. People say they have no alternative and that anyway it's mostly big corporations who are responsible. Politics say whatever they need to get elected. As long as everyone keeps doing what they do, blaming someone else and finding excuses for not changing how they run their household, corporation ou party, nothing will change. Everyone is responsible. How much I am responsible compared to you, or compared to ExxonMobil's CEO, is becoming more and more irrelevant.
Interesting take. But the measures you suggest to increase the value of labor will also increase the costs of goods, which would impact the working class more than the wealthy, no?
Questioning acknowledged truths isn't always denial. Science moves forward by constantly challenging established facts. It allows us to have a more detailed and solid understanding of phenomena. Climate change deniers are generally uninformed (to put it mildly), but I'm tired of people who get triggered by any question about climate change data. Information is power y'all!
