Today again, consumerism and money being celebrated as the holy grail.
Here some outcomes from experiments around the topic #money and it's psychological influence:
- People who make less are more generous
- We rationalize advantage (over others) by convincing ourselves we deserve it
- Rich people are more likely to ignore pedestrians
- Poverty impedes cognitive function
- Those with less are better at reading facial expressions

@stigatle @boris NVIDIA's proprietary drivers never worked for me on any computer I've used them on, so I'm not surprised. -

@moonman @lnxw48a1 The whole thing is a scam as far as I can tell. For most people in terms of cost/benefit analysis it's literally not worth attending university since the time to return on investment is way too long. -

@lain @lnxw48a1 We have a completely fucked up loan system that is meant to make university affordable, it puts tons of people into college, loads them with debt. College offers worthless classes for students that possibly don't have the ability to take rigorous classes, then convinces them that late capitalism is the reason they are poor and can't find a job despite a college degree. -

@davehunt @stigatle I'd been hearing about Ubuntu's move to GNOME. Hopefully this means more love for the GNOME desktop suite! -

Some days I read the news and think we need some kind of movement against tech getting even more disastrously awful. Maybe we could call it "the Free Software movement" or something like that. -
