Well it’s science fiction. Being ‘genetically perfect’ (rofl) will impart less of an advantage than actually existing, mundane factors such as wealth and which country you were born in. Hell, the biggest advantage they could get is making sure their children is of the ‘right’ color.

I do not even think the biggest assholes like say Musk would genetically modify their children. He already thinks he is perfect.

I can also think of a few factors that would disadvantage poor people more than lack of eugenics.

Lack of healthcare. Climate change leading to people having to abandon their homeland and also exacerbating another factor. Bad nutrition. Bad education in combination with disinformation by wealth controlled media.

Genetic modification is not really a problem. It could also help some people if we fix our politics and make sure people get access to healthcare based on needs rather than means.

Seriously, fiction is not necessarily a good guide for politics.

It’s fiction.

You can find actual discrimination based on genetics or wealth or class into the present and past of the real world.

I agree that Play integrity is a huge problem and a way for Google to maintain control of Android.

However a Linux phone wouldn’t solve that at least in the beginning.

The devs who don’t allow apps to run on devices that do not pass Play integrity are unlikely to make a Linux phone app.

That does not make sense. Even in the worse scenarios Android would be more open than Apple and there would be Android options unaffected by this. Not many and not the most mainstream, though certainly more so than non-Android Linux phones.

But compared to a picking a non-Android Linux phone it makes even less sense. Unfortunately it’s true.

Unfortunatel, even here on Lemmy, that is a not techier/fossier than the mainstream, a lot of people say they will switch to… IOS.

Doubtful, phone vendors already had access to binary blobs to run Linux (Android) on them.

It’s no surprise Valve who is buying those SOCs is also provided with them.

I have far less concerns with what Iran will do with nuclear weapons than what the only nation that has used them on civilians will do if they believe they can stop nuclear retaliation, a goal they 've been pursuing for decades.

They after all have a much longer history of violating international law and committing atrocities than Iran,wo themselvesarenot saints at all.

That’s without even considering the recent (impressive for an already right wing country) fast and extreme shift to the far right with Trump and co.
