    Indeed.

    It wasn’t about the lines. It was always about the switches. And while they are no longer actual hardware, but rather software, those are still the what makes phones work.

  I think that’s a big part of why I like lemmy.

  There are plenty of tech-savvy critical thinkers in the younger generations, but the naïveté, tech illiteracy, and lack of critical thinking ability of the average internet commenter / poster is appalling.

  I’ve seen it just get worse and worse.

  The internalized self censorship, the laissez faire attitude towards digital privacy, just pure fucking idiocy.

  Wake me up when September ends.
