@RoundSparrow It is really not tech that is the problem. I use the internet to help myself learn new topics and skills, as an example. I also write computer programs and take great joy in them.

The problem is CAPITALISM. The corpos who control the technology and use it for their own cancerous, expansionary ends should gather your ire, not the machines themselves.

I’d like to send a special “fuck you buddy” to all the boomers that told me “oh you’ll get more conservative as you get older, once you get some money”

I don’t know what world those people live in, but every day since probably 1989 everything I have seen in the world has only convinced me more and more that capitalism is a disease that is destroying lives and the planet.

software and magical thinking

The fact that we consider "bugs" in the code to even be a thing betrays that we imagine computers and software to on some level be magical tools that do not what they're coded to do, but rather what we expect them to do.

Bugs don't exist. Software does exactly what it's written to do.

If you type 3+5 into a calculator but wanted 3*5, it's not a bug that the calculator answered 8.
