The faster they make you go, the less likely and the less time you have to learn differently, to research, to develop real understanding. The faster you go, the more tired you get, the more control they have to keep you there. The bar keeps getting lower as they make you more dependent on them. And of course quality or care in everything goes down.
It is no longer about what is made or why, it is about occupation and exploitation of human & planetary resources. Occupation in both meanings.

Speed is something demanded of by capitalism. Speed has altered our whole world and not always for the good. Speed is time and time is money for capitalists. Specifically *your* time, their money. And the faster they can make you go, the more they crack that whip, the more speed you need to survive. You need that newest fastest thing to 'compete'. To look like you are in the race.
They have you on the run in their machinations.
When we should all just STOP running the machine for them.

One of the #Palestinian families that reached the Maghazi camp in southern #Gaza told the #BBC "the last three days had been "unspeakable".

"We are hostages here for both sides, for #Israel and for #Hamas ."

"If Israel are not able to find Hamas, they must not bomb the civilians and the infrastructure. We are not animals, we are not in a zoo, we are human beings."

Adolf Hitler, 1939ko urriaren 6.

Emissions from computing are apparently higher than for air travel, and that’ll only go up in the coming decades.

“As a society we need to start treating computational resources as finite and precious, to be utilised only when necessary, and as effectively as possible. We need frugal computing: achieving our aims with less energy and material.”

Milioi bat lagunek arratsaldeko 16:00ak arte dute beraien bizitza osoa atzean uzteko, historiako genozidio handienetako baten parte izan nahi ez badute. Gehienak ezingo dira irten. Munduko gobernuek, beti bezala, beste leku batera begiratzen duen bitartean.

Israel genozida! Sionista hiltzaileak, atera zuen esku zikinak Gaza eta Zisjordaniatik. #BDS #FreePalestine

Amaitzear da Israelek milioi bat gazatarri emandako ultimatum https://www.berria.eus/albisteak/233952/amaitzear-da-israelek-milioi-bat-gazatarri-emandako-ultimatuma.htm #FreePalestine

Benetan uste dut etorkizuneko historialariek gaurko egunez Gazari egindakoari garrantzia handia emango diotela zenbait gauzen amaiera azaltzeko.

Ez dauka atzera bueltarik.
