Instead of educating kids, it’s much easier to… not, and invade their privacy instead.

Maybe when Musk is through with Twitter what will be left is Mastodon…

People are obsessed with sex and relationships. If who you have sex with, and who others have sex with is important, then it’s one way to take advantage of that to hurt your feelings.

Anything you care about can be used to insult you with: nationality, ethnicity, sexuality, relationship, status, hobby, intellect, etc.

Basic what literacy?

The great mighty Apple does not have to follow sanctions. If it hiccups, the US economy does too. Can’t have that!

This separation into “generations” is such bullshit. It’s just another way to divide the haves from the have-nots. If you blindly believe that generations define you, you’re the problem. You’re making it easy to be controlled and find another person to concentrate on while your rights, your liberties, your opportunities, and your privacy get slowly taken away from you.

Is this the beginning of civil war?

The screaming about low birth rate is because corporations want to keep a high labor pool so they can drive down the price of labor while keeping up demand for consumption.

It’s not only that. By the time you want to retire, there won’t be enough people to pay taxes for your retirement fund. With more young people than old, that is less of a problem.

“We cannot be outnumbered by immigrants!” *die out because their own population won’t make babies*

Pornstars show us their assholes but I’m pretty sure they don’t want everybody to know where they live. Just like normal people aren’t comfortable shitting in a public toilet with the door open.

• exceptional food
• cheap workforce (the next major factory of world after China is becoming “too expensive” and competitive)
• hinduism
• religious segration
• caste system
• extreme poverty and extreme wealth
• racist towards dark skinned people (also due to caste)
• anti-queer
• lots of potential, but also among world leaders in corruption
• hot
• noisy, polluted cities
• very influenced by external forces

I’d like to visit, but Thailand, Vietnam, Bali, and Japan look more enticing.

Closed source that pretends to be your friend. They are just wearing a different mask than google, microsoft, facebook, bytedance, and so on. Any privacy gained is a circumstantial side-effect that will cede to any monetary interests and will be used as an excuse to lock users into their walled garden.

What’s the story here?

Where in the post did OP state that thye cared about operating systems?

He’s ranting about windows or mac users, right?

Can I ask what measures you’ve taken in your life to reduce your standard of living to match the degrowth goal?

Buy local products, buy conflict-free, slave-free, or fair trade products whenever possible, most of my belongings are second hand or have been in my possession for a long time (the oldest piece of clothing I was gifted is about 40 years old, the oldest I bought about 20), don’t own a car and public transport is taken whenever possible, short distances are by bike or foot, food waste is nearly 0, etc.

How about you?

Degrowth

The value of everything changes. Time is not static. What maybe useless today may be of great value tomorrow and that value has to be tracked.

A system without money is just a system where the actual currency isn’t obvious.

No wonder the degrowth movement exists. It’s because of this bullshit that we harm everything around us.

If the Californians vote for this dude and his ideas, it’ll be their own fault 🤷‍♂ But it would fit right in with the future president.
