No, I will not follow "awesomeinventions" for more.

What??? For realsies???

I'm genuine: just because you think it's wrong, doesn't automatically make it a fallacy.

So name one logical fallacy that applies, i.e. "Slippery slope", "Appeal to authority", etc.

Name one.

The comment just didn't have an obvious connection to the comment above.

The "addendum" doesn't cite any sources and claims that a modern household takes 3 hours a week to maintain. The "institute" is full of bogus claims praising liberalism.

You can just admit that you have no idea what class analysis or feudalism is, you know?

And your last sentence shouts for the "yet you take part in society"-meme.

Joke's on you: tiling wm

What does that have to do with my comment?

Also: From a material dialectics point of view, the working class of today and the serfs from medieval europe have quite a lot in common. Even moreso, if you take the gig economy into account (see: Yanis Varoufakis' concept of "techno-feudalism").

Nah. The Adam Smith "Institute" is nothing, but (mostly debunked) liberal propaganda.

That's because of advancements in medicine, not because we work longer hours.

We've had the 40h work week for about 100 years and more or less exponential growth for that time, too. Why did that never turn into more leisure time?

No one is asking for feudal society. Just more leisure

There was a recent report (rather exagerrated but still) which claimed that in the 1930s it took 65 hours of human labour a week to run a household. Today it takes 3. Things were worse back in medieval days.

Why can't we have both? Why must we trade one for the other?

My guess this would be too depressing. Imahine going back to a world before 9/11, 2008, Trump, all that late-stage-capitalism and internet-fascists.

Not telling you about the good old times, it's just: It's been fucked up, y'all.

Thanks for checking wikipedia when I was too lazy to do so. ;)

I learned some italian with that Grana Padano ad on the radio.

We've passed the "Marty McFly came to this year date for existential dread and it was hilarious. Can't wait for the year when we're as far from the release of Austin Powers as the movie was from the wild 60s.

To give the org credit, they found and fixed the problem – a typo in a script, apparently – but as a result, the sequencing of the demos was disrupted and the result was a little confusing.

I'm gonna quote this, the next time my boss asks why we need a thorough testing culture.

Edit: Also: language servers and static code checkers safe money, so don't hassle me about why I need to config neovim while clocked in.

I really can't stand Linux Cast's style and don't get why he is on this and not Brodie Robertson.

Linux cast is just rambling most of the time, having a hard time getting to the point, while Brodie has some wit and humor. I also don't like his clickbait video titles and how every second video feels like it's about tiling WMs (we get it: tiling WMs are cool).

I'm aware that this might just be an involuntary anti-fat bias speaking, though.

Why am I laughing? I don't know any of these languages?

Wow. So edgy. /s
