New Tech Sucks Big Balls

   I never thought I'd turn into a Luddite. I used to LOVE tech. Bigger hard drives, higher capacity ram, faster CPUs, larger and higher res monitors, FUUUCK YEAH!!
  I haven't changed, but tech did. It has gone through an enshitification process where making money went from making better products for customers to milking them. It's gone from bigger hard drives to renting cloud space, renting apps, and companies selling your data to advertisers and insurance companies. Own nothing, be happy. Fuck that shit.
  Companies have made it hard for independent repair shops and DIYers too. They use digital locks and abuse the DCMA to threaten anyone sharing info on how to break them.Then you have the latest greatest from the tech bros, ai. They are building massive data centers which gobble up both power and water at prodigious rates. I'm sure the increased costs to the water and power companies to feed these pigs will no doubt be passed on to the ordinary mom and pop customers.
  As I stated in an earlier post the tech bros building the ai data centers want to use them to replace all the white collar workers. So we went from tech helping people and providing more jobs via personal computers to stealing ALL the jobs with AI. New tech is cancer.
  To the perpetrators, fuck you and fuck off.
