To claim that Jesus was either capitalist or anticapitalist is anachronistic to the point of absurdity.

Capitalism isn’t just “free markets”, it’s a set of institutions and norms that really only make sense in a modern setting, with centralised states, and very specific forms of absolute property rights and contractual obligations.

Jesus, however, claimed rich people could not enter heaven. Rich people can exist outside capitalism.

Exactly. It’s not the smart part of a device that is the problem. That’s an extreme overreaction.

The problem with most smart devices today is that they are proprietary, non-fully libre and open source, for-profit, cloud-connected, corporate committee designed spyware, adware, and bloatware.

Devices that are fully FLOSS (firmware, hardware, software) and based on open and free standards and protocols are awesome, but they get easily forgotten.

The Internet and your technology can be so much better. Demand it.

Completely agreed. Nowadays we even have WASM that can run more advanced things, and may even give webapps sandboxed capabilities, and can be run natively on any device with a WASM runtime.

No, but great idea gatekeeping collective action. We surely need less of it.

Every revolution famously begins with everyone giving up completely.

Same here.

But I always get told that people need the threat of starvation and homelessness to do anything at all.

LLMs work great to ask about tons of documentation and learn more about high-level concepts. It’s a good search engine.

The code they produce have basically always disappointed me.

Containers are as performant as a native program because they are native programs.

I do. It’s so incredibly easily exploitable and ripe for corruption. State owned prisons are no exception. I’d much rather inmates study to grow as people than just make them work for the sake of work.

Americans have such a warped idea of what a correctional system should look like. It’s just revenge for the sake of revenge with no regard for societal costs.

This is mental gymnastics on an olympic level.

Yeah, there’s no chance a company like Disney can’t serve a SPA for cancellation at this scale. This is deliberate.

Everything to the left of killing homeless people is radical leftism to them.

This is absolutely unhinged but god damn it, I respect you.

Stop using the shit service.

Are the concepts of costs and development foreign to you?
