Of course it’s wealth inequality

Wealth is agency

Those who have it have diverse opportunities for agency at their disposal

Those that don’t have paycheck to paycheck and inflation concerns

When are the science minded going to look beyond cultural ephemera and realize the emotional depths at which relativity impacts life

Ignorant people can’t know to fight for healthcare if they’re never allowed to experience good healthcare

I’m gonna go with Carmack on this one; you think you have a better understanding of it than him? It’s just ifs and for loops.

Sure some contexts require real nuance. But just because Grubhub IS massive doesn’t mean it needs to be engineered that way, that’s a byproduct of socio-political forces (money).

Wireguard or similar simple VPNs would make file sharing 1:contacts makes everything easier now.

Kubernetes + Kilo obsoletes cloud DCs.

But you won’t get to participate in agency manipulating big business that way.
