I feel old saying this, but what the fuck is up with modern tech?
Itโs like we let the idiots run this world. Code is shit. Negates all our gains in hardware over the last 30 years. Watch a video of opening MS Word on Windows 98 vs today and you would never guess that 98 came out over 20 years ago.
Weโve been devolving when it comes to software. Look at the horrible pile of shit Windows has become. It was never great, but Windows 11 is embarrassing. Itโs not just MS. And theyโre all collecting โtelemetryโ.
Cars. Smart Appliances. Games even. Theyโve turned into shit spyware that we have the privilege of paying for (often on a subscription basis).
I donโt want any of it. I wonโt buy a modern car that listens and watches me and broadcasts beacons or needs a subscription. I wonโt buy a โsmartโ appliance that will charge me a subscription and spy. Nobody wants to outright sell a game or software, itโs a license to use now.
Iโm done. Fuck this shit. Iโll buy used everything until I canโt fix it any more. As long as people buy this trash we will keep getting fed garbage.
You know what. Fuck AI.
It is GREATLY raising your cost of electricity, it is tripling RAM prices which will now only go higher, it is blowing through fresh water supply for cooling. The "temporary" power plants some of these data centers have built create insane amounts of pollution and destroy the local air quality.
It is being forced into everywhere costing people jobs even when it doesn't work, is straight up trash, or makes any sense.
We the people always getting fucked just so the rich can get richer.
