Morrowind and Oblivion into Skyrim, fallout 3/NV into 4 really opened my eyes into the enshittification before that was even a term I had read anywhere. It was a company who got too big for its breeches and thought it knew better..
"I don't feel strongly about anything" if it's required, deleted email if it's not
A 401k is something, an account, I legally own. A pension is a promise.
The value of money is based on the market, all aspects of finance are based on economies. Even just a straight up savings account gradually devalues
We fucked up a species when we traded communities for economies.
Anyone ever experience someone else discovering that Joji is frank without any prior knowledge of frank? It's so surreal some people actually get mad at a dude who made dumb jokes when he was a kid.
Haven't most places moved to 401ks for this reason? I'd never participate in a pension and I imagine the vast majority of those working in the tech industry are smart enough not to as well
I could be wrong I'm basing all this on assumptions about others intelligence

You also gotta understand we had multiple generations in a row huffing lead gasoline so while younger millennials aren't impacted as bad, MOST Americans are legitimately lead brained.
The only reason I will disagree: there's already a major FOSS ecosystem on Android. There are tons of high quality free apps that aren't FOSS
Linux isnt even that popular on desktop, my point is that people will not move if their pre established software use case is not avaliable. I won't. I know many people who won't.
And if there aren't users, there won't be people making quality software to cover wide variety of usecases and get support, if there isn't quality software that covers a wide variety of use cases and get support there won't be users. You need to start somewhere, it's why the windows phone failed. No devs, so no users, and because no users, no devs.
