Nuff said.

...and it would explain why we're such assholes with so much ellbow power and so little brain. Thanks evolution.

Of course you are completely right. Every new technology initially looks like it will open a tunnel straight to hell. Until it doesn't. In the 1800s people thought they would die from inner bleedings going 20 mph with those new trains.

This new concrete could turn out a pretty cool technology but of course there are some issues to be thought about. Encasing, safety in general and also recycling should not (any probably will not) be an afterthought.

Until you accidentally touch the wall...

Not only that but a lot (most?) of the IT work is outsourced. Now imagine you're an IT service company... would you prefer to install technology for your customers that just works or would it be okay if you had to bill a lot of hours for installing industry standard software that sucks so much you basically have to hand crank it most of the time?

2. Nightly rsyncs of everything to a Pi at my dad's house
3. From time to time rsync everything to an offline hdd in my drawer

...now there's more and more Linux in Windows. Next, there's less and less Windows in Microsoft Linux until, at the end, there's only Wine left to execute legacy Windows crapware. Pretty clever if you ask me.

Of course more time would be better. However, nearly everything important can be done in 15 seconds. The really critical things. Like getting the generators at the hospital up to keep the ICU running. Closing gas mains. Taking the scapel out of the guys brain during surgery.

You can't drive home from the grocery store and strap yourself into bed in 15 seconds, but you can do a lot of really really important things in that time.

I guess you could say that but I'd rather put it like this: The idea of free software may in parts go along with the idea of socialism. But then again we all know that the real existing socialism never had anything to do with its initial ideas.

So it's more like free speech vs. government / corporation power. Liberalism if you will. Very soon quite a few corporations will be as powerful as governments anyway and some already are.
