I'm not too sure I've met that many people who want to work. Most people I've met work because it's the only way to live and they work harder because it's the only way to start to get ahead.
Like would most people not rather be doing their hobbies than working?
Looks fantastic!
Something has definitely gone screwy and we've definitely not gotten the balance right - but equally I'd tend to agree that QoL has substantially improved since the 70s. Air quality, many medical advances, many more people in less labour intensive jobs, safety and quality of products has also improved substantially. General societal attitudes towards women and minority groups is better as well as all the tech and toys.
Housing is messed up and there's seemingly been a shift towards the rich, the taxes imposed on the wealthiest in society has been reduced and income inequality has increased. We may or may not be more stressed (I tend to think we are) and capitalism in general has shifted from worker first to shareholder first.
The stats above definitely don't tell the whole story either, doubling productivity while reducing price, for instance, may increase access to a product to consumers with no net gain to the company and while this is almost certainly not the case in every scenario, it just shows we can't just cherry pick stats blame all of society's ills on them.
It doesn't even need to be as user friendly as the S5 either, most people will have no issue with a semi permanent battery that requires a few screws to remove.
Sounds like you're trying to blackmail spez there.
You can just go get Unity or UE right now. With UE you can make a $1million before you need to pay a royalty and the tooling is substantially better than any of the tools id released back in the day. (And fwiw I think it's a crying shame id tech engines are no longer open sourced too!)
It's going to be fairly obvious fairly quickly if the big apps are nixing ads, no need to sue, just block access to the API for violation.
Is it surprising? There are specialists pushing nonsense to dupe people constantly, fake experts, real news branded as fake news. No one reasonably has the time to research every bit of news they see. The world is a weird place rn.
Was hoping for this! Show parent post is what I'm missing most on jerboa!
