What precisely are you accusing them of? As a gesture of good-faith, I'll put my subtext-cards down on the metaphorical table first: I believe the quippy-looking retort is actually a dud once we open it up and look inside.
For example, is it one of these?
1. "Being a regular here necessarily means you cannot actually have that opinion, so you are lying to us."
2. "You may believe that, but posting it here is not logical because nobody here will be receptive to it."
3. "You may believe that, but posting it here is an immoral offense against the management."
The only anger I am sensing in the replies, and the only anger I feel towards your post, is about the cliché debate tactic “posted on an iPhone ... gotcha”.
Everything on this board is controlled for the purpose of making billionaires richer. None of your three things are true. Here's 4: "the fact that you are posting about the revolution on Make Billionaires Richer Inc and not on Anarchist Graffiti Dot Onion is a sign that the billionaires have thoroughly won and the revolution will not happen"
The revolution won‘t happen on Hacker News, that is for sure. However, Hacker News is one of the biggest social platform of tech workers, and GGP might not like it, but when so many workers in a single industry come together, there will be solidarity, particularly against our bosses. And among workers in any industry there is always a radical (usually me) talking about the revolution.
A modern OS will use any “spare” RAM as a page/disk cache. Without that, performance will become intolerable sooner, thus driving consumer demand for newer machines and more RAM chips. And a newer model is unlikely to have less RAM in the spec than the older model it replaces…
I moved away from Hugo because I was tired of it breaking backwards compatibility. I found that upgrading my Hugo version meant that old static website projects wouldn’t compile, and needed amendments. I keep an older Hugo binary around as I don’t have time for that now. Any new website projects are Astro, and I will aim to convert the older projects to Astro when time allows.
Just because it wouldn’t help with a long-term crisis, there’s no need to overlook the benefit for a short-term crisis. Especially as the latter is far more likely.
Where I live, any taxes are built-in to the sticker retail price.
In a shorter term crisis, I can absolutely imagine smaller grocery stores near me using a cashbox for takings and recording purchases with a pen and paper. Any government would be highly supportive of this as it would be essential to prevent anarchy.
