I kind of doubt that he actually began life as a porter.

Most of us begin as babies.

It's almost as if a for-profit company is not a reliable place for things that are not done for profit. Weird.

> at slower speeds that don't instantly kill you or others,

See where this is going?

This is a very bad take, and serves only to highlight the joylessness of the person writing it (and the original "design principles")

I would instantly dispute pretty much any word of the first 3 sentences in your post. (except maybe the name)

If you want to live in a world without choice, where everyone and everything looks the same (the inevitable endpoint of form follows function), be my guest, but at the end of your sad life you will remember all the times you looked back over the fence at all the people enjoying life in all its diverse forms, shapes, textures, activities and regret some choices you made along the way.

I clicked this and was immeasurably disapointed that the article talks about Apache Kafka, and not the author Kafka and how to understand his work with Factorio.

That would be a much much better article.

The operative term is not "private" it's "stolen".

But this is a nice setup for a straw man argument to distract people from the actual issue.
