A huge chunk of activism is pointless and annoying. Especially when every cause is lumped together into Activism (TM) and the Omnicause.
I don’t agree with them and I don’t think they should be in my software, or dealing with anything they don’t understand (for instance crime, homeless people, geopolitics, or really anything outside of overpriced vegan coffee shops). All they really do is end up getting Fox News people to vote for fascists like Trump out of spite

Processing coffee yourself takes skill that gangsters who take over a government don't have. The most successful countries after decolonization are meritocracies
I was involved in a startup project the first couple years of college. We didn’t know anything about what we were doing so it languished in development hell and is still in it as far as I know, with a new crop of kids. I can’t imagine being stuck in that mindset, there’s a lot of maturing that happens when you have a boss and need to work with a team and he’s always been the head of this college project that’s worth a trillion dollars now. Doesn’t sound healthy at all
I would highly doubt 100% of Facebook users would want to use virtual reality. Out of those who would tho, it would be pretty high, I doubt many Facebook users would buy HP Reverbs after that. Not worth the absurd cost tho

You can’t be against the Ukraine war in Russia because Putin is an evil dictator
