Of course, the moment the constructive criticism is only coming from the outside will be when it gets labeled as foreign manipulation to further cement tribalistic mentality and provide fresh out-groups to hate and fear.

What, you don't like smoothbrained out-of-touch takes about an entire generation based on the transparent dictate of global property holdings companies?
Old Souls in Young Bodies™ my ass. People are going low-tech to escape pervasive panopticon and the endless stream of fake fucking people and conspiracy peddlers.
Any time I read these broad-brush generation articles, I have to hold my eyes still to avoid setting my skull on fire with frictive heating.
They'll be moved by force if it gets large enough. Homeless people reaching critical mass is something cities actively "tackle" by loading them onto buses and sending them elsewhere.
I made the switch to Manjaro in January, haven't needed Windows once for gaming.
Most difficulty I've had was with Cyberpunk 2077, but that's because GOG broke some shit on their end that requires a workaround hack to stub some phone-home code that checks what DLC you have or whatever.
For the most part, shit just works now.
Suppressing the timely resolution of this strike allows new media companies that don't follow the same rules to fill the demand. I'm sure TikTok benefits from that to some small degree, but they probably suppress protest footage and related as a default to preserve "social harmony".
I would honestly love a rule banning the submission of articles that use the "slammed/blasted" headline.
That's nice. Any chance of them deciding to return the rest of it? No?
Gotta practice that passive language to avoid laying blame anywhere. Wouldn't want to step in it themselves, right?
How do you tell which group is using those tools for good and evil?
I hope so. Room temperature superconductivity would make so many things economically viable overnight...
I can't wait to overhear people sharing conspiracies about it, like they did with Tim Hortons and nicotine-lined coffee cups.
"The government is printing circuits in the warning messages so they can spy on you while you talk during your smoke break!"
"I heard it's full of chemicals to make you compliant!"
"I bet the only reason you really get cancer from these is because of the ink!"
Copyright won't help here. Extending it to allow the protection of concepts as well as literal implementation is what Oracle tried to do, and would've resulted in a few megacorps demanding licensing for core concepts that no one can really make quality, functional software without.
Of course, software patents are also stupid, even if the general intent of patents seems reasonable.
