Most don't need faster internet than 50mbits/s either, doesn't mean you won't like having it. A more reliable and faster wi-fi is always welcome.

Yeah, we really are steamrolling right into a cyberpunk dystopia, aren't we? Well, if we can even include the world "punk" there. It might as well just be cyber-capitalism in the end.

Okay, but unless you have a proper harness and other safety equipment, you face a heavy risk of severely, likely permanently, injuring yourself if you slip up.

Imagine if we managed to make a translator for the speech of an animal, knowing what they say and being able to say something back. Literally speaking with animals. That would have been so amazing and revolutionizing.

Really think they will just say 'eh fuck it'

Were talking about Elon here. Yes, I do think so. In addition, don't give too much credit, the other vehicles would always be inherently safer because they're electric.

Elon fucked up so bad he's gonna singlehandedly revive the international worker movement.

Thank you, comrade Elon!

Have you ever heard of propaganda? Or manufacturing consent? Or what about the whole field of psychology?

It's more that windows constantly has all of these little things that build up to something big. For some it's just the straw that broke the camel's back.

My computer parts were like 8+ years old when I replaced them. And I can afford to do so, not everyone can.

Someone being a vegan doesn't exactly put other people at risk.

Where does other peoples' freedom start? Do you also have the freedom to burn toxic materials in your backyard, where your neighbours can inhale the smoke? Because proper disposal of toxic waste is much more similar to getting vaccinated than your metaphor.

Windows 11, while you can work around it, specifically requests tpm, which definitively is not from 1999..

Also, windows has its own endless list of driver issues, hardware does not always "just work" on windows, on the other hand, it also often "just works" on linux. It depends, of course, but I never had to install a sketchy driver for my PS3 controller on linux (it's in the kernel), but I had to on windows. Not to mention printers.

A bunch of software is also only or primarily for Linux, though that depends of course on your field and what you need. I've seen plenty of software that I needed that did not have a proper (or as good) windows alternative.

But consider that windows is a paid product, and its competition, linux, is both free and with much much longer support for old hardware, not to mention never having "sequels" in this way. I feel like windows doesn't have much excuse compared to this.
