    As much as I dislike Windows and smartphones the current nature of the world is that that are all necessities for most people.

    I was told Linux is incredibly difficult to use, Windows is so much safer/better.

    Honestly, I used to believe this, until I installed Linux. Well, I was just lied to. I very easily installed everything that I need. My Linux distro works just fine. I can even play my favorite games. To this day, I haven’t moved back to Windows. The Microsoft empire is based on aggressive lobbying and advertising, not on superior product quality.

    Billionaire-owned multinational corporations spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year on advertising. They have entire teams that study consumer psychology. The goal of advertising is to undermine human rationality.

    If humans were purely rational, why would they waste billions on advertising ?

    They would just say “here are our products. Here are our prices. Buy them if you want to”.

    Smartphones are also the easiest way to access your banking services with plenty of banks offering online banking now.

    I don’t need to access my banking services 24/7. I have cash and a debit card that does the job. If I need to see my bank account, I just use my computer.

    What you need and what you think you need are not the same things.
