Also(I'm absolutely not taking corporate side here), she says, "I feel like, I don’t know, almost like there’s a blanket over me, smothering me that I can’t get out from under." because of PFAS levels but then look at the corporate products/chemicals she covers her body in daily, and accepts money from others to do the same. If you are going to be outraged, at least be consistent about it.
Also, I think the conditioning of people in society is underestimated. If a corporation tells its consumers that it remedied the situation, most will opt for familiarity, correct?
As a society, not just regarding software dev, but in general, we have to stop making things just because we have the ability to do so and have to justify our time on the clock.
I stopped spending time on the main social media platforms because, aside from constant altercations, people assume that electricity, the servers, the ISPs, etc will always be there. What can someone do with millions of views on Instagram videos? I can't purchase sustenance with it. I cannot send a message to my friends with it. Then though, there is the deforestation and other ecological issues. If everyone started sending letters instead of emails...flora and fauna would take a major hit.
I don't know what the best thing to do is, communication-wise, besides prevent humans from depleting resources for unnecessary things, but you know how that usually works out and, who determines what is necessary and what isn't?
the united states is authoritarian. a corporate, oligarchical plutocracy held together with force and fear. of course the slaves can't have a way to overpower the palace guards. you just getting here, or...
also, the headline was a lie. anything else sir pretentious?
