I'm tired of pretending tech makes things better.  I'm tired of kidding myself that all these apps, these chatbots, these "tools" are doing anything but dragging us into the mud and the shit and calling it progress.  I sat down at a cafe a few days ago, hungry and ready

    most people are stuck with the couple choices they have in town and when tech comes in and forces the enshitificstion of services in order to pump stock price you’re stuck just eating this shit forever.

    Is that the fault of the technology, though, or is that the fault of the companies?

    Companies can have stupid, arbitrary rules and requirements and policies and do stupid or harmful actions regardless of technology or not.

    I don’t think it’s fair to blame tech for company policies.
