  Generally the actual term used is technocrat.

  People opposed to them would generally say they get focused on the end result and neglect the human aspect.

  Orwell - "the party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command”

  Huxley - “the perfect dictatorship would have the appearance of a democracy, but would be basically a prison without walls, in which the prisoners would not even dream of escaping. It would essential be a system of slavery where, through consumption of entertainment, the slaves will live their servitude”

  I would agree

  It rolling off the dash is the least of people’s problems. Depending on the location it might just get launched into your face at 100 miles an hour by an airbag deploying.

  Whenever I see people with their feet up on the dash I know they have never seen a person after an air bag has hit them .

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon buys a TV without researching⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly despite the enshitification those TCL Roku TVs are/were some of the better value smart TVs.

  I bought a Sony on sale at Costco and it’s a massive piece of shit. Randomly reboots, won’t turn on, requires a factory reset every month to keep working. Android TV is a way worse experience than the Roku stuff I’ve used.

  They (and every other tech company) have been doing this type of thing for nearly 20 years. You might see some whinging about it in some corners of the Internet, like here, but most people don’t know or don’t give a shit.

  It sucks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries programming in Java⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes and the reason is because millions of lines of production code were written and it isn’t worth rewriting them.

  Plenty of languages around now that don’t have 30 years of baggage and the specter of Oracle hanging over it.

  Now a days many businesses choose Go.

  My one plus can charge 0 to 100 in about that time.

  It does this by moving some of the charging circuit into the charger and having 2 cells in the battery.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is linux actually gaming ready or is it just not for me?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it just my hardware? It is not your hardware

  Am i using linux just wrongly for years? Not really

  Is it my fault? Not really

  The main issue from what I can tell is you are trying to play older windows games which can be pretty hit or miss.

  Gaming on Linux has greatly improved over the last couple years (especially thanks to proton/steam deck) but if you are trying to run older games that were never designed to run to it or you want to play online games with aggressive anti-cheat it is still going to be a bit of a struggle.

  I would recommend sticking to an Arch based distro like EndeavourOS (as it is similar to the SteamOS) or a Debain based distro and not swap around too much so you can get a feel for it without having a bunch of things change on you all the time like package names and the like.

  All that said if your jam is older windows games and you have access to windows and are tired of messing with the OS and just want to play games just use windows, try linux another day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is linux actually gaming ready or is it just not for me?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some games are trickier than others for sure. Are you using protondb as a reference?

  Anno 1404 is a 15 year old game with aggressive DRM so I could tell right away that it would be one of the more tricky titles.
