Did you think we were the 'only surviving industrial infrastructure' until the 80s?
I'm going to go ahead and assume bad faith on your part, because otherwise you're very stupid. But nobody in your potential audience is stupid enough to believe there aren't lasting effects to being bombed to shit.
I take your point about this being before the dawn of ubiquitous tech companies, but what kind of chilling effect did the Bell monopoly have?
Do you wear your mask while driving, too??
Do you think about me when you're jerking off, too? I know you do.

Perhaps you did not buy a Tesla. They are probably the most service-hostile vehicle ever sold in the US. Not sure about the UK, I haven't heard stories (horror or otherwise) about service for Chinese EVs yet. They would have to try really hard to be worse than Tesla, though.

No, I remember owning a calculator watch with phone directory because I could never remember phone numbers, outside of a few I used all the time. Then I got a cellphone and now I don't need to wear a watch.

There must be a reason both Orwellian nightmares and V for Vendetta were essentially set in the UK written by UK authors.. they knew something too many people seem to have averted their eyes from for too long, and now here we are - the dystopian nightmares becoming reality, one salami slice and boiled frog at a time.
It's because in both of those worlds, the US was effectively destroyed. In Nineteen Eighty-Four it was part of the same nation as the UK (Oceana) and in V for Vendetta, it was destroyed by infighting. The UK is presumed stable enough to survive cataclysmic events. The US is presently demonstrating it really isn't and is far more Orwellian than the UK's worst nightmare. I can still criticise the UK leader, Kier Starmer (yes I can, Joe Rogan was talking complete bollocks as per usual), hows that working with you being able to critisise Trump or Charlie Kirk (even daring to repeat what Kirk actually said).
In fact the only UK politico who is likely to come after you for criticising him is the Far-right fascist frog-faced fucktard Nigel Farage... Odd that but as he's never going to get anywhere near power I can still tell Frog Face to Fuck Right Off.

And having it, and not expecting MBAs to demand ads...
Retired programmer, sr. Linux sysadmin. I have NO "smart home" devices. I get enough ads on my computer.
Bzzt, thank yuo for playing. You have just shamed your family for generations to come. You do not win a year's supply of Rice-a-roni....
Ignoring the two acs below - they're both assholes who have no clue, and if they're not trolls from Russia or elsewhere, are posting from their basements.
No, cusco, it's not "business ethics". It *was* the MBAs, Friedmanites all, who decided that ROI was, to paraphrase Lombardi, "ROI isn't everything, it's the only thing." Products and services? No, ROI. And ROI must be this quarter. Destroy unions, ship jobs overseas to semi-slave labor? ROI!
Maybe someday Aptera will manage to get off the ground.
With three wheels? No doubt they will, insert clip of Reliant Robins here
The same applies here. Adopt Systemd with all it's age verification goodness and then demonstrate to the world how you give it the middle finger ignoring the field.
Yeah, you're a rebel for adopting software pushed into the freest OS by a Microsoft agent.
