@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place "It's just a tool! We are primarily concerned with technology! How dare you question the implications of what we are making and how it is made! Don't bring ethics into this you social justice warriors! La La laaa!! La la laaaa!!!"
Linus is really showing himself to be just another slop-obsessed boomer who drank a little too much corporate techno kool-aid. Disappointing but not surprising.

@raghukamath@social.raghukamath.com Maybe they can. But right now they aren't.
America already landed people on the moon almost 60 years ago, and we've launched plenty of rockets and satellites since. (We've made plenty of ICBMs with this tech too.)
But we still haven't met the needs of our people. ~10% of Americans have no healthcare. We're told "it can't be done".
I'm not against science or space exploration, but we don't really need to go *back* to the moon to solve the problems that we face here on Earth.

@raghukamath@social.raghukamath.com Maybe I'm too cynical... It's cool to watch a rocket blast off.
But it's tax season and I'm watching my country build ballrooms for the political elites, wage pointless wars in the middle east, and try to repeat space missions that we already did when my parents were kids.
I simply don't feel that our priorities are in order.
If another country was doing it, then I would have no complaints.

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org Where's the love button?
There must be a love button somewhere around here!
Disabled my Facebook account more than a decade ago and haven't looked back since.
That place (more so than just about anywhere else on the internet) did nothing positive for my happiness and mental health, and I think that company has been net negative for society at large.

@FluffyDeveloper@meow.social @digslogic94@bark.lgbt At the *very least* we aren't implicitly consenting to being scraped in some bullshit terms of service (that hopefully wouldn't hold up anyway). That's a pretty sad silver lining, I know...
