But what’s your point? Are people making $60k/year causing world hunger through artificial scarcity or is it the greed and mental illness of the capitalist class?

There’s only 3 other comments at the time of your comment and none of them indicate having not read the article. You and I have a very different bar for “rather impressive.”

Jesus Christ this thread is full of people who don’t realize they’re the judging hipster in the post.
Ubuntu isn’t the entry level distro that you move on from once you’ve gotten your feet wet, and your not very subtle pats on your own backs for using something different aren’t earned.
Does it do everything the user needs from it? If so, don’t tell them that they need to “graduate” to a “better” flavor.

Or Ubuntu could perform every task they need it to and never switch to anything else.
- Comment on Novel attack against virtually all VPN apps neuters their entire purpose 6 months ago:
There are very little, if any, benefits to using a VPN service to browse the public internet.
This is why it’s often best to just avoid the comments completely

It would take a super genius to understand that they’re either a non-native English speaker or made a simple typo/autocorrect issue. Also, since it’s completely impossible to even guess at the point they’re trying to make through the context of every other word in their post, we all owe you a debt of gratitude for calling this out!
Thank you, corsicanpuppy@lemmy.ca, for adding something incredibly meaning to the conversation!

You can’t fix the problems caused by capitalism with capitalism. Those homeless people employed by that beautiful company in your made up example don’t have a home because companies and the governments they write the laws for value profit over human life. Homelessness is overwhelmingly a mentally health issue which becomes an addiction issue, but here in the US all health care, much less mental health care, is a for-profit venture. And the open market that you seem to respect so much has made renting and home ownership unattainable for countless millions.
You sound like everyone else who believes everything they learned in econ 101, that capitalism rights itself because it’s in people’s best interests to do so. You’re out of touch with the reality of so many peoples lives, and you only emphasized it with your fantasy about “good capitalism.” You can blame all of Lemmy or all the “brainwashed” people who tell you how far your perception of reality is skewed, but I hope you can continue learning about what life is like for people who don’t have your privilege or luck and are moved to reconsider your stance.

Greed and lack of empathy
That’s what keeps capitalism humming along. It’s why a few people own most of everything and the “lucky” Americans will be forced to work until they die. What point were you trying to make when you attempted to correct them by saying that’s not capitalism?
