“communism is bad because you will own nothing” mfers describing how the “innovations of the progress of capitalism” means owning nothing.
ask a capitalist and a communist to criticize each other and they’ll both criticize capitalism
Then a centrist walks in and tells you how they’re obviously both bad, you need to combine both and you’ll get the perfect system.
and by ‘combine both’ they mean capitalism such as it already is but with more pell grants to go around
Well, actually giving out more Pell grants is optional. Really the important thing is paying think-tanks run by their friends kids to do feasibility studies on increasing Pell grants. Studies that conclude they can’t afford to give out more grants since they spent all the money on feasibility studies.
No worries though! They know someone who runs a thinktank that specializes in doing feasibility studies on overuse of feasibility studies.
no. i’ll cobble together whatever i can find and i have a lot of parts in backup.
can’t wait for the Dangerous Personal Computing Act of 2028 that finally requires us all to turn over all personal compute to our local Bezos-Palantir-ICE militia forces
Me too, but prepare to spend your life being called an out of touch boomer by all the kiddos who have never known what it means to actually own something.
Meh, for me that is already the case because I refuse to use most ARM-based devices due to how locked down they are to the point where the user is basically just renting them.
What disturbs me however are people who seem convinced that Mobile/Cloud-based devices are “the future” or “next step” and act as if PCs were just a “Phase”.
It saddens me that there are many people out there who don’t realize the power and potential of Personal Computing.A lot of people don’t even seem to realize that every computer is a general purpose computer, that includes the phone in your pocket. 90% of the reason an actual computer is as powerful of a tool as it is when compared to a phone comes from the difference between the software each runs. Mobile OSes treat the user with contempt. It doesn’t have to be this way. I’m seriously wishing for a pocket computer that would make traditional desktop environments usable in that form factor, because I don’t see mobile interfaces being actually useful any time soon.
Completely Agreed. What I really hate about “Mobile OSs” is the fact that they’re the most slow and bloated pieces of crap ever imagined.
Android and iOS are insults to Computing, they’re not useful for anything. People just put up with them because most of the time there is no other Option.Most Phones right now are many times better than the Work/Gaming PC I had back in circa 2010.
Some ARM Computers even come with an NPU, or some have Instruction Set Extensions that are better than anything you can find on x86;
Some ARM Computers have literal Super Computing capabilities, yet none of that stuff is made available to the User (or if it is, only to to a limited extent) because the Manufacturers just shit out binary blobs for Android that work “good enough” and call it a day.And then a couple years later people are expected throw out their Pocket-Sized Super Computer just to keep investors happy, it’s insanity.
“you actually OWN stuff? lol fucking boomer” as I return to my pod to be sealed in for the night and fed liquid slurry through an IV mainline. Cost of food and housing: $150 a night. I only make $60 after taxes a day. The VR glasses slide over my head and I an greeted with my total debt: Feburary 5th, 2036: Total Current Bezobucks Debt: $12,345 Principal and $22,330 Interest.
So about that working class revolution where we eat the rich, anyone heard any more about that lately? Would be reallllllll nice if that would come soon, these billionaires are far too comfortable
Surely this is all part of a push to consolidate all tech in the hands of just a few big companies that can control what we can and can’t do or read and see?
welcome to Ubik
Capitalism is when you put everyone’s eggs in the same basket
I’d rather play super nintendo than rent an imagination pc from bezos
I’d rather drive a rusty spoon into my asshole than rent an imagination pc from bezos
😂
I knew something was missing on the list.
Silverware is very important! 😀
over my dead body.
might fuck around and download a computer

I might be a sucker for liking apple, but I rather deal with them than not having a computer at all.
