What crystal ball told you this was temporary? Every day for the past few years the consumer market moves further and further into serving only the wealthy. The people in power don’t care about selling RAM or other scraps to peasants.

but suddenly there is very little that connects both continents.

I think the Nazis would disagree with you.

Communism, brown skin, religions other than Christianity are still public enemy number one.

Sounds like the Narcissist’s Prayer to me.

AI, crypto, just like .com, are very much very real, valuable technologies that have and will continue to stick around and be used until we destroy ourselves, or something even more advanced comes along.

It’s not just Bikinis. It’s all swim wear, saunas in Europe, baths in Japan. It’s just socially acceptable and expected in the right context, and that expectation plays a huge role in comfort. The context seems to flip a switch in people’s brain.

He’s just a snake oil salesman looking to cause a problem to sell the solution. Just the usual conman shit, but at a national level.

Maybe keep your shitty politics out of your shitty product next time, and then you won’t face political consequences.

I wouldn’t describe Microsoft as a walled garden (and Canonical even less). But maybe that term comes with degrees, and different perspectives of what’s tolerable.

Blocklist and allowlist are much more intuitive, so if we ignore all the cultural baggage, these changes are rather sensical.
