    how would we be?

    i’m gonna list a few things:

    • war in europe
    • genocide in gaza
    • everything is a subscription
    • appliances are made to fail now
    • phone manufacturers blindly follow apple’s horrible decisions
    • housing market is going to hell
    • general enshittification of every service
    • cars are getting worse every day, be it the phasing out of ICEs in favour of EVs that have no hope of lasting even 20 years (that one may be fixed until 2035), the general reliability problems or the ugly designs.
    • Windows is actively getting more invasive and even less private, although linux is looking very promising
    • the political right is getting more drastic, and it seems to be working for them

    edit:

    • global warming, i forgor

    i am not surprised

        No no no, our pocket computers becoming too much like another company’s pocket computers definitely is a bigger issue! Get your priorities straight!

          thats just part of a general trend of everything we care about enshittifying.

          i dont blame them, i used to love tech and now i despise most of it.

      don’t forget all the layoffs happening despite already being overworked, understaffed, and bombarded with RTO propaganda

      I promise that people who are “not ok” are literally not even thinking about how Windows is getting worse. I’m a sysadmin and if windows was perfect my life would still be equal levels of shit, it’s such a non issue that I’m amused you brought it up

        computers are a big part of my life, i guess my priorities are just set differently.

        i definetely consider it a factor in my mental health.

            I’m a server admin, look after hundreds of redhat servers and windows servers. So I can’t just delete windows from my life. Some reason I’ve just become completely indifferent to how shitty windows is

            not very easy if you play multiplayer games, do sim racing, or play VR games.

            Fusion360 is finnicky, and yes i have tried using freecad.

            just not that viable for my use case yet.
