>Tell me why should technological change benefit workers?
Technological benefits make individual workers more productive, allowing them to be exploited for more profit. If you don't understand the economics or incentive of the situation, there's no reasoning you out of a box you didn't reason yourself into.

A lot more people are willing to be limited in what they can play. 10 years ago, it wasn't anywhere near 6/10 -- and in my case, all of the major titles I play (20k~ steam hours) except for one have worked perfectly fine on Arch; no longer a Windows user after 20+ years.
You didn't really give any legal perspective. Either Facebook owns the content and the liability as a publisher, or it's a platform and shouldn't fixing content towards what they want to show.
>The blockchain data will never be "optimized" or "disappear"
This is a really bold assumption - you do understand that core dev is still ongoing, yes?
You do understand that "infinite data on a disk" doesn't exist, yes? And as the chain goes on longer, more space is going to be needed, and centralization of the miners will continue to increase, yes?

If you're looking for some unreasonably secure device, obviously you have to bake an apple pie from scratch in order to ensure no steps in your supply line are tampered with. Current system has plenty of problems with which that's being used as a defense though, and the fact that those systems are so closed is what allows zerodium to exist in the first place.
...? The vaccine isn't a panacea that eradicates the virus. Vaccine means your viral load is going to be lower than the alternative and less likely to spread. You can be vaccinated and still spread the virus, but getting the hogs to stop running around so we can try and achieve herd immunity for those that aren't able to get the vaccine is a pretty obvious goal.

...the only alternative right now is throwing cash at a librem5 and there's still plenty of work until it's feasible for a linux phone as a daily driver.
