    It’s not either-or. We don’t have to rewind time. What we need to do is learn from the past. What we gained and what we lost on the way.

    Today there is a pervasive culture of individual responsibility, hustle, self improvement, competition… This is killing us all inside while benefiting the 0.01%. we need to learn the value of community again. We are pack animals, we have survived by sticking together and taking care of eachother for millennia.

    Some things can be blamed on the economy — not this. This is a matter of making first things first and not blaming others for our own short comings.

    This is connected to economy and politics. Neoliberalism, to be exact. Rugged individualism, individual responsibility, every man for himself… The same myths used for concentrating wealth into teeny tiny minority and making masses poorer, are also making us lonely and isolated.

    We are pack animals, we have survived for hundreds of thousands of years (millions if you count non-sapient ancestors) by building communes and taking care of eachother.


  • I’m aware of Dell officially supporting Ubuntu on their business machines, I appreciate that. What I meant is the market impact. Dell sells those development oriented workstations for those who actively seek them.

    Go to any consumer store, online or meatspace, anything that is not a Macbook or Chromebook comes with windows.

    (Of course it’s a chicken and egg problem, stores don’t want to stock things that won’t be in high demand)
