No shit Sherlock!

People who know how to use a forum aren't the ones who need to know a public forum is public.

What kind of gotchas did you think you were making?

Everytime someone uses phrases like "Dead internet theory", I assume they're some crab living under a rock with limited real world experiences. And it fits every time.

Making it a commercial business makes it unethical. Who's to say they won't be exploiting the poor, desperate people and twisting the legality, cross country loopholes to profit?

Do you think diamonds, lithium, rare metals are ethically sourced too, just because the retailer/marketing says so?

Does exploiting people for profits upset you? How many of the "most" need to be unethical to upset you?

Industrial is not all high tech or efficiency driven.

It's about cost and availability. They probably buy in bulk, have some Linux image with the exact setup they need. Then they just replace them if they break with little to no downtime.

Tuskegee Syphilis Study - Wikipedia (en.m.wikipedia.org)
 

The Tuskegee Syphilis Study, officially titled “The Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male,” was a study conducted by the United States Public Health Service (PHS) from 1932 to 1972. It involved nearly 600 impoverished African-American in Tuskegee, Alabama, with the aim of observing the effects of untreated syphilis on the human body. The men were not informed about the true nature of the experiment and were deceived by the researchers.

The unethical nature of the study came to light in 1972 when it was exposed by a whistleblower, Peter Buxtun. The study had a lasting impact on public health efforts and contributed to a deep-seated mistrust within the African American community towards medical professionals and government health initiatives.

TIL 40 states in the US charge you $20-$80 a day for being incarcerated in prison. (en.m.wikipedia.org)

TIL 40 states in the US charge you $20-$80 a day for being incarcerated in prison.

Very weird that I am so old and have literally never heard this mentioned in a TV show or book or movie or anything.

In four out of five states, if you go to prison, you are literally paying for the time you spend there.

As you can guess, this results in crippling debt as soon as you're released.

The county gets back a fraction of what they hold over your head the rest of your life until you commit suicide(or die naturally and peacefully with the sword of damocles hanging over your head).

$20-$80 a day according to Rutgers.

Counties apparently sue people and employ wage garnishment to get back the money that majority of people obviously cannot pay back.
