Being prescriptive about human nature will always be frustrating. You and I can argue about what consumers “should” do but the reality is they will always pick the highest perceived benefit at the lowest perceived cost, even if deeper technical knowledge or improved ideological perspective would change those choices.
- pyrale 1y agoI don't really mind about what people should do. Cats should probably not kill birds when they aren't hungry. But my opinion has no bearing on cats. My lament is more about the current situation and our apparent inability to escape it. In this case, I may also be annoyed a bit about your rant on ideologues. Just because people don't make decisions based on their ideology doesn't mean they don't make decisions based on ideology.

- smaudet 1y agoYes, and so you should always assume every (large) company is lying through it's teeth as hard as it can, because it is in their best interest to confuddle the consumer as much as possible... It's not ideaology to want things to work. Last time IE lost because it lost sight of the fact that it was utter dogshitte. Chrome is now utter dogshitte, users will (eventually) be unable to ignore that...
