The one I really miss is WindowMaker[0], missed its powerful simplicity

> retaliatory violence in a civilized society

Are you joking? What civilized society? A society that let people who can't afford insulin die? Let kids starve if they are from poor neighbourhoods? What civilized society are you talking about? The one bombing countries left and right and financing a genocide? What civilization is that? A society where people with full time jobs live paycheck to paycheck with no savings? A society where millions cannot afford shelter and where homelessness is a crime? What civilization is that? When is it OK for you to revolt?

America is not the only country in the World. Here in Montreal, minimum wage went up to around $15 an hour, in the same time a clean one bedroom apartment went from $600-800 to minimum $1500. I live alone and used to spend around $250 in groceries a month now it's around $600 and so on and so forth. And I am not at minimum wage. I can't even fathom how someone making $20 an hour manages to survive.

We have a huge surge of homeless people, mostly because renting one room was about $150-200 now it's around $600 for a crappy one.

People are struggling and the way you wrote that comment, you seem to have no idea as you are personally not yet a victim of the system.

Just think about how much one is struggling to turn around and burn a whole warehouse and how normal people are reacting to it.

Livable wage is under threat. Week ends are the least of it. Millions working full time jobs can't pay their bills anymore.

What do you mean by violence? Do you consider someone building a monster of a server farm near your home and messing up with your drinking water, electricity and life in general violence? Why violence is only immediate physical one that counts?

I stopped reading Sci-Fi, it's just all dystopia and even when it's about a Utopia it's mostly about how it crumbles like with the Terra Ignota Series.

We live in a dystopia, we need some utopian ideas, enough of the gloom and doom that ends up being a self-fulfilling prophecy..

I am confused that people act so offended. What do people expect? Meta and all tech companies do not believe in privacy for anyone but themselves. Isn't our info how they make their money?

It's not technology that is the problem. It never was. It's Capitalism, always was the problem and always will. It's insane how Capitalism curtails innovation.

Let's say Samsung decides tomorrow to cut ties with Google and fork Android, who would be the loser in that situation?
