Ethics is too complicated of a topic for some people in here, it seems. You don’t need to be a psychopath to be wrong about this stuff, but being wrong about it is nothing to be proud of anyway.

Competitive wages and benefits… which does not mean “good” wages and benefits.

When I think of the situations that occur in everyday traffic and how people behave there, completely without google being involved, I am absolutely not surprised at the level of carelessness that radiates from such events. Though it could also be my lower trust in services like google maps because I have a deeper knowledge of the technology behind it than most people. There may be people who think of google maps as some kind of authority that has proven to not be wrong at any time…

If google had enough information and time to correct such map errors and did not out of neglect, they may still be held accountable. And I think that this is a good thing.

I don’t really get what you are trying to say. Do I read it as “There is nothing special about it” or as “This is a severe problem”?

And it even was the very same city that exactly 10 years ago was hit with a very violent hailstorm that caused billions in damage.

Who is this “capitalism” you are talking about? If with that you mean the general battlefield of the market, then you have a point. Of course there are people who want to keep the scales tipped in favour of the already established products. And of course the companies that produce them have connections to wealthy and powerful people. And of course that makes it harder for new product types to challenge the market. I agree with pretty much everything you wrote. Just one thing there: The choice is not an illusion. But you need to create part of the opportunity yourself. We are talking about a market here. And for participation on the market, you need the means to participate. I would guess that this is where you are coming from. Still, keeping people poor is not what is taking away the choice. It is a pretty complicated topic though, so I will stop here. Have my upvote in the meantime.

I would call that a dilemma, I guess.

On desktop at least, there is also the possibility to click on the user name in the top right corner and select “Settings”. There you can choose the tab “Blocks” and enter community names to block. Works pretty well for me. Blocked a bunch of communites and feel much more at home now.
