Funner fact, many even have a green double zero as well to tip it even further.

>Tell me why should technological change benefit workers?

Technological benefits make individual workers more productive, allowing them to be exploited for more profit. If you don't understand the economics or incentive of the situation, there's no reasoning you out of a box you didn't reason yourself into.

A lot more people are willing to be limited in what they can play. 10 years ago, it wasn't anywhere near 6/10 -- and in my case, all of the major titles I play (20k~ steam hours) except for one have worked perfectly fine on Arch; no longer a Windows user after 20+ years.

You didn't really give any legal perspective. Either Facebook owns the content and the liability as a publisher, or it's a platform and shouldn't fixing content towards what they want to show.

>The blockchain data will never be "optimized" or "disappear" This is a really bold assumption - you do understand that core dev is still ongoing, yes?

You do understand that "infinite data on a disk" doesn't exist, yes? And as the chain goes on longer, more space is going to be needed, and centralization of the miners will continue to increase, yes?

Please take the time to learn how Bitcoin works before pontificating

> If you look between the lines you'll find that the "security industry" is largely in favour of corporate-authoritarianism.

If you're looking for some unreasonably secure device, obviously you have to bake an apple pie from scratch in order to ensure no steps in your supply line are tampered with. Current system has plenty of problems with which that's being used as a defense though, and the fact that those systems are so closed is what allows zerodium to exist in the first place.
