  If this goes through, I’ll move from my S23 Ultra to a flipphone the moment it gets outdated, and also build some portable computing device from a Raspberry Pi CM.

  It just happens that those people pushing for it happen to be extremely religious. Nothing to see here, if we ever got our rights back and not everything will go to crap, we don’t have to set up provisions so that a small religious extremist minority cannot get hold on our governments. In fact, those christian extremists weren’t “real christians”, they just pretended to be one, because my interpretation of the bible only include the good parts and I ignore the bad parts.

  It’s a cooperation between:

  • religious fundamentalist christian groups, many of which done some rebranding to appeal at least somewhat secular (Collective Shout, NCOSE - formerly Morality In Media, or even the European CitizenGo), while others are still primarily religious fundamentalists (Exodus Cry, Seven Mountain Dominion),
  • big tech companies like Google, who want to tie their users’ data to real identities, want to lock down their ecosystems even more, and don’t really care about potential bans under a far-right christian theocracy as long as they benefit from it economically and finacially.

  Flash memory cells reset over time if not powered, often faster than disks rot.

  Solo indie game dev here, I’m primarily like this because of dumb reasons.

  Imagine you’re a drummer, and you’re seeking a band. However, instead of finding people who either need a drummer, or want to form a new band, you get people telling you, that you did a grave mistake by focusing on drums, since drum machines exist. Bass players assume if you don’t want to pay them upfront, that means you want to exploit them. When looking for vocalists, you get told that how great instrumental music is, and a really bad singer can ruin a band. After many circles, you get told that you should just play drums under pre-recorded guitar loops.

  I call this effect “djentification”. Formerly collaborative art becomes easier to produce for a single person, then it becomes the new standard, with people instead try to speialize in a way they can most effectively produce said art alone.
