The system™ simultaneously does not have enough jobs for everyone while also encumbering the employed with too many hours to be able to live life outside of work.

@chuck@videos.lukesmith.xyz Social pressure is a massive factor, in my experience. The fear of missing out is an impassable boundary for most people.

They are also impossible to enjoy sharing movies with. In-cells absolutely must whip out their phones to look up actors and the plot mid film.

If it were me, going full wireless would just feel like too much of a compromise.

I've been trying to buy from their site since forever but it always says some part of the form is filled out incorrectly, without saying exactly what. I wonder if I can phone in an order.

When I think back to my own migration, it was something of a weening process. At first I was installing video drivers the Windows way from vendor websites and had to have all my cucky shit like steam and games. These days I don't even break a sweat when tasked with something like switching CPU architectures. One has to first realize the freedom you gain by letting go of the things you once *thought* you needed.

You have a higher tolerance than I do for technology which is designed to harm its users. Even phones of allegedly free design must still make concessions in order to play by the rules of the phone network. That said, I do not believe that you can place a price tag on freedom. Whether a truly free piece of hardware costs $100 or $1000 $10000, if it gives me an avenue to use digital technology in freedom I will pursue it.

On the videogames-as-art argument: The individual works must be assessed in isolation. *Which* video games are art? I assert that vast majority are not. And gamers are very quick to the defense of thier opiate, the most hilarious justifications I have encountered include;"but they improve your reflexes" - assuming more a moment that this is even accurate, is it really a good cost-benefit to sink 2000 ours of your life + your identity to cut down your reflexive responses from 1 second to a fraction of a second? BS we all know why you actually play games."but they're a social activity" - perhaps in the off occaision that you have actually gotten together and just happen to have chosen games as one of the activities (and not the primary focus with everything else as a distant second) it may be that. Although I do not share the sentiment that staring blankly into a screen and occasionally exchanging a periodic "I got him" or "No come over here" is a social activity.

@ethan_coe@videos.lukesmith.xyz That is one thing I took pause on when composing that comment. Ultimately, it is difficult to get into art vs non-art without turning into a much more general debate about the merits of art.My initial thoughts which I withheld where along the lines of: Art being the product of inspiration from its creator and if one is not so inspired, then they do not take the time to create. In contrast, media produced for commercial motives is not the creator communicating a concept or idea and so it is produced on a schedule dictated by the market. Look to books for example, what if Jane Austin had begun pumping out sequels "Pride and Prejudice 4 Electric Boogaloo 18K4"? It begins to move from the realm of creative work and into the commercial space.Because the argument is subjective, I must agree it is a gradient rather than a yes/no.

@draggingsnow@videos.lukesmith.xyz Another angle to consider is that if normal people perceive enough benefit from allowing such incursions, they will accept just about any level of surviellence.

@z@videos.lukesmith.xyz Those who concede on principles to feed their children only guarantee that those children inherit a world void of those principles.
