“You can see the computer age everywhere but in the productivity statistics,”
If you only measure the workers, sure. What if you measure the processes that have been automated by programmers?
I've automated a semi-manual (first run this script, then that one, and then...) process. Would that process show up on their measurements? I bet it won't.
I've blocked any YouTube video recommendations (after a video is done, the sidebar, etc), and switched to RSS (RSS Guard is my go-to, after testing about 6 RSS readers). I used Enhancer for YouTube™ to block the bullshit.
Now, I only have 319 videos left to view, in order, from all the channels that I follow. It is now me that has a tight grip on what I watch, and not YT. No more doomscrolling on YT Shorts! No more watching the newest thing (old videos are still solid, but won't be likely recommended)! Use Youtube-shorts block
to turn any short into a normal video, in case someone sends you a shorts link.
I can now have a sense of being done watching videos, instead of YT feeding me unending garbage.
Yeah, black in colour-theory is technically a lack of colour, and white is the most colourful, as it's a combination of all colours (or at least red, green and blue).
Skin colours are weird. I'm not white - I'm like a peach colour. But it is what it is, and I've not found better names, without sounding like a pedantic asshole.
Oh wow, it's only Lemmy instances! Who knew!? Find me an actual person making the claim the OP says that people are making. Doesn't even have to be literally word-for-word.
I ain't found shit on the Googles if I search for anything that looks like OP's argument. Almost like there's no one who made the argument that OP claims is being made.
The American ethnicity is pretty much the European ethnicities supplanted onto "American" grounds - Trying to integrate the Native American tribes into that ethnicity feels like tribe-erasure to me. They are separate ethnicities - heck, I'm not even sure if "the American ethnicity" is really a single ethnicity.
They were, but if I enter the USA as Dutchman, doesn't undo almost 40 years of existing in Dutch culture. Or in his case, if people invade (nazis or colonists - take your pick), won't undo the existence of your own culture.
What is actually wrong with it?
