I’ll believe it when I see it.

I like that they chose microplastics and credit scores as the indicators of a failing system. I’m not entirely sure why but they seem more fitting than just about anything else despite the fact that they’re probably not the issues one would point to as the biggest problems we face. They feel relatively bland and yet overwhelming at the same time.

Most people have no idea how technology works. I’m guessing that’s not as common on Lemmy as it is elsewhere. Still, if you asked a random person how a remote command from their phone to their car gets processed I doubt many would mention centralized servers controlled by the manufacturer. They’d just say “the internet” or “Bluetooth” or something like that.
