  • Using dev edition is the equivalent of sudo.

    Firefox can just install an extension from clicking a link, combine that with tech illiterate people just panic-clicking “ok” on every popup, that really is an attack vector.

    I mean, billions of people click yes on a “hey we’re gonna take all your data and sell it to everyone, are you okay with that?” screen multiple times a day…







  • You’re generalizing a few millennia of civilization. That doesn’t really make sense.

    The low life expectancy in Egypt seems cherry picked from one search result you found? Seems to be about a single village with data from about a century? Might as well have been disease. For all its fertility, farming in water comes with big downsides.

    And Egypt has always been surrounded by nomadic tribes. Leaving the kingdom must have been so much easier than leaving capitalism today. But people chose for stability which the pharaoh provided. They weren’t slaves, unlike the actual slaves which they did own.

    They were not forced to do this. It was a privilege, one that actual slaves weren’t allowed. So looking back that makes it a system of a rich guy paying people for his passion project while they didn’t have any other income.

    Not quite communism but it’s as much slavery as any other job.
