You’re looking at it purely from a present-day perspective. Just because the pool of available workers is large enough today to provide for everybody doesn’t mean that it will be fifty years into the future. It’s not about “infinite growth” it’s about providing a consistent standard of living and a fair generational contract that doesn’t place an undue burden on future generations.

Unless you expect people to work until they drop dead it’s a crisis regardless of the economic system, especially coupled with the increases in life expectancy. You have fewer and fewer people of working age who have to provide for and take care of more and more old people for longer and longer. Even if you eliminate profit motives, you’re placing an outsized burden on younger generations.

If you don’t vote you’re implicitly okay with any of the possible outcomes, in the last American election that included fascism. Trump won the popular vote, and a majority of eligible voters were at least okay with that.

The obvious downside to that is that if things go horrible and you need your phone to call for help, you can’t.
If you force your kids to sneak around, you force them into taking needless risks.
And most people prefer content algorithms. Or maybe a better way of phrasing it would be they’re used to and expect content algorithms. Having to actively search for and follow topics is not only yet another hoop users have to jump through (good UX has as few steps as possible to get you where you want, a good chunk of users jumps ship at every step) it also requires that they know which hashtags are being used for the content they want to see beforehand, which might be difficult for you if you relied on content algorithms before.

Well, some might, but most wouldn’t. But if it’s harder for consumers to make that informed choice his friends in industry can flood the American market with inefficient crap and his voters will probably blame Biden or immigrants or Jewish space lasers for their increased power bill.

As for why I’m not proofreading my entries? I am. But typos happen. Try to put yourself into the shoes of the average office drone or consumer just using a PC as a tool. I’m pretty sure I’ve harped on this before, but most people aren’t experts or enthusiasts, they just want a working computer that’s as simple to use as possible. The benefits of a case sensitive-file system are far outweighed by how susceptible it is to user error.
Situationsabhängig. Das Grundgesetz erlaubt bewaffneten Widerstand explizit, wenn es keine anderen gangbaren Wege gibt um die Demokratie wiederherzustellen. Da sind wir im Moment natürlich (noch) nicht, und jede Situation in der Molotowcocktails gerechtfertigt sind, ist eine Situation von der man Kinder fernhalten sollte, von da her auf jeden Fall schlechtes Parenting von Connis Mama.
Gut, dann fangen wir Mal mit der Diktatur an.
