My guess is that the "new guys" are not competent enough to make an interface that responds to useful settings (like the old guys), so their response is to remove all these options that they are not good enough to implement. See for example the case of Skype: Version 7 had several configurable options to meet a wide range of users, while the version 8 have virtually nothing and force users to use the same pattern they like it or not.
You have discovered the reason yourself: Conditioning
The population is conditioned to believe that they need to work to death and to hate and attack anyone who offer an alternative solution. And the conditioning is so strong that I just need to write a small number of "trigger words" here to immediately attract enraged comments and hate for no apparent reason.
Well, look at this: I am a Windows user, and yet you know what distro I use when I want to do something in Linux that reminds me of a desktop and when I have free time for experimentation? Slackware. No kidding, Slackware.
Why? In Slackware I can do whatever I want, in the way I judge best, without worrying about idiocies like those caused by GNOME, cyclical dependencies in half-assed package managers or now recently bizarre things like systemd.
The trouble these days is that if fucking you gives money to the company, then the company will fuck you. There is no longer ethics, all that matters now is to provide dividends to shareholders even if it means the end of the company in the long run.
Because one place has always been broken so all the others must be the same thing, even with the obvious signs of external interference? Your argument is pathetically flawed.
This one. Want to stop the immigration wave? So stop destroying and harming the countries where these immigrants are coming from. Pretty simple right?
Immigrants do not risk their lives trying to enter countries like the US because they "wanted to", the vast majority of them are fleeing from misery or war in their countries of origin, misery and war almost always caused to fatten the bank accounts of a half dozen operators of Wall Street.
Well, a few failures on more than 77 launches is a pretty good record for explodey things like rocket boosters. It's necessary to put things into perspective.
I've been thinking the same thing while watching the video. The final result is somewhat messy and the mechanism does not make a "closed" sandwich (ending with the top half of the bread on top, it is necessary for the customer to close the sandwich). The idea itself looks good but I would make several changes in the mechanism, especially in the part of the speed of the preparation, precision and ease of maintenance (it is obvious to me that the parts that cut the ingredients will need constant cleaning)
Give me basic income and I can move somewhere else where housing is cheaper because the wages pay less. Even if I don't other people can and will and that will lower housing prices. It also would mean I could take risks with employment (especially if we had single payer healthcare in America). That would also drive up wages and standards of living. What it would _not_ do is help mega corps bottom line. It would utterly decimate the political power of the 1%. They could no longer threaten the working class with death by starvation or lack of medical care to elicit obedience and fear.
Your point is interesting but let me summarize my experience with Linux so far:
In Windows up to version 7, the order is "updates accommodating the old code". The new things works but your old aplications (and some of then can be indeed very old) keeps working;
In Linux the order is "updates breaking the old code". The new things works but only luck will make your old applications work;
And now, to my dismay, the order in Windows 10 is also "updates breaking the old code".
I plan to stay using Windows 7 as long as I could, internet access is not really a "horrible" problem when you have good practices using a browser. Linux will only be an option when those responsible for it take their collective heads off their butts and focus on creating a usable and stable desktop environment. The current trend looks like "UX Developers on Drugs" and now even the Windows 10 UX developers are on drugs too, so I will stay on Seven.
Here the Google translator never, ever gets Brazilian Portuguese (or even Portuguese) right. he is unable to understand the portuguese verbal agreement, the correct order of verbs, and sometimes simply invents expressions that have nothing to do with the original text, to be left alone in the most obvious problems. As a Brazilian Portuguese speaker I have to first "translate" what I mean in the most basic and simple possible way or the translator will completely fail to execute the translation.
Me too. After a considerable time using Windows 10 (and several updates later), I concluded that Windows 10 is useless as an operating system, it's just a toy made by monkeys. EVERY time they update the thing something fails in bizarre ways, and this without counting the various "features" that you DO NOT WANT but that they squeeze down your throat anyway and still cause problems for applications that you want or need to use. After the catastrophic 1803 update I decided that I had enough and reinstalled Windows 7.
I agree. In these forums 90% of the time the response I see coming from a Microsoft representative is "generic way of cleaning your pc" or "how to reinstall or restore to the previous version", and most of the time the answer has NOTHING to do with the question that was asked. Sometimes I think it's an automated response from a bot, because it's too clueless to have been the response of a human being.
I needed to do this to get plans detailed enough to be able to finally build 1/32 scale models of yours (cool) secret projects, but I promise not to do it again ok?
they do not want experience, they want people new enough to agree to work for peanuts. Experience is expensive and the (very) expensive CEOs childishly still believe they can get away with dirt cheap (young and unskilled developers). And if all goes wrong they (the CEOs) already have a golden parachute on their contract.
This. Oh boy, this. I'm fucking sick of seeing all these websites developed in this completely amateur way using javascripts files from several external sources to the site itself where each of them is a potential source of problems and security breaches, and this is not to mention the cases where these scripts call other scripts from other sites that in turn also call other scripts in a lunatic chain of operations to do things that should be contained within the original site.

Pssst! You forgot the GUI made with HTML and jQuery ;-)

P.S: When I'm lazy or in a hurry I use Linux Mint
The problem with Kinect is similar to the VR problem: Expensive, difficult to make it work and inaccurate.
I own a country, this counts? :-)
(and four helicopters, a dozen figther-jets, two nuclear-capable bombers (three soon), a lot of tanks and support vehicles. Ah, and two battleships)

Oh. Some monkey thinks the truth is "flamebait"?

the fact that I deleted windows 10 and went back to windows 7 should be enough to say what I think about windows 10 "be ready to use"...

Soyuz will not be retired any time soon because it is reliable, even if obsolete by modern standards.

Using Windows 7 again. After the disastrous 1803 update I decided to stop playing beta operating system tester.
