My phone is designed to have a battery that can't hold a charge or run basic applications smoothly after 2 years. A fancy CPU I bought last year had plastic bumpers purposely added to its side so it wouldn't fit in my cheap motherboard, otherwise it would have been 100% compatible. Facebook, Google, and your phone company don't encrypt your communications, mostly so they can mine them for data. It had me wondering: what would tech be like under different economic systems? Comedy: "it wouldn't exist!" - Even the far-right libertarian (and Wired Magazine founder) Kevin Kelly admits the PC and the internet are from LSD dropping hippies at UC schools, rather than capitalists. Read Markoff's "What the Dormouse Said".

The OS is fully modular already and you don't upgrade in distinct OS versions. The upgrades are transparent to the user. File system optimization and caching techniques that we had figured out back in 99 are actually in use improving OS speed and responsiveness and as such SSD adoption is slightly lower. Spergs have been appointed higher positions due to their dedication and ability and it is not uncommon navigate software through vast, unpleasant menu trees. gary oldmans diary fucked around with this message at 07:28 on Oct 18, 2016 |

There would still be advertisements, there would still be data mining, but the people doing it and the reasons for doing it would be different.

3D shock sites take off sooner than the hardware technology so the mysterious websites launch a huge troll campaign that puts a holodeck in every home so they can log in to tubgirl.3dcom. The difference is that the arc is in 3d and the perspective is 360° degrees around. Not long after goatse.3dcx is first visited that the idea of an internet of smells is conceived. Ten years later and everybody's house will smell like large intestine and a gold ring.

The only actual difference is that with communism you have everyone working for the same entity, and even that isn't always true.

I'm glad you asked. For the last seven years I have been living in a glorious Communist enclave I established in my basement and we (Snugglepuss and I) have been hard at work creating a non-exploitative, workingman's computer & internet. While the prototype is in its early stages, I can reveal the following design elements and considerations: 1. There is a keyboard button for anime. 2. Computer powered by hand-crank, or if you have a DOCUMENTED DISABILITY like me, Snugglepuss or equivalent can be trained to do it for you. 3. Mom is not allowed to write "what did I do to deserve a daughter like this?" or "my horrible daughter has locked the door to the basement again" on the internet. 4. Amazon still exists. Free shipping from Asia on all products deemed "kawaii" by the Postal Committee. "Party Size" bags of French Onion potato chips renamed something less inherently upsetting. 5. There is a second keyboard button for anime, as a failsafe. Or you can press both at the same time for twice as much anime. We can only reach a future if we can envision it. I hope these design principles inspire you to greater things. Red Salute, mm

Computers would be for work, not recreation. They'd be larger and more expensive. Rather than having personal computers, there would be remote terminals which connected to a community central computer. It would be very boring but not having fun games and memes would be the least of our worries because we'd be too busy staving off mass starvation and government death squads.

there isnt a good example of communism yet leaders who believe in communism and have the drive to overcome strong resistance to communism also tend to be bad at governance themselves we might have had some smaller successful communist countries but for being communist they have to suffer sanctions and embargos whatever the result its blamed on the theory of communism

they wouldn't look like anything. the Soviet Union was so far behind on computer technology it was laughable, which is ironic because it might have solved their major problems with central planning
