Why something that seems boringly mundane to us, is something to brag about for the regime? Something that may uplift the OS's users ie. it makes them subconciously dream of something exotic like we do when our screensavers show us the great barrier reef. Can you spot the "exotic"-part?
- geofft 6y agoIf you applied this level of extrapolation to US-based OSes, you'd conclude that Windows XP users have never seen green grass or a blue sky in person (they even call it "Bliss," an obvious attempt to play with the emotions of a despondent populace) and that Mac users can only dream of experiencing a proper day and night cycle, a tragic effect of smog, light pollution, and a culture of working indoors under artificial light.

- idownvoted 6y agoYes, our lifestyles are the problem. Nothing to see here in North Korea. One could even argue that we can learn a lot from them about how to save the Great Reefs
- wizzwizz4 6y agoThat's not particularly inaccurate, but I get your point. Two things being true doesn't mean that any story you spin linking them is true.
- frostburg 6y agoThat's more or less accurate (but more related to free time than location, I think).
