- Comment on What's the deal with people liking old devices? 1 week ago:
I agree with all the other commenters.
On a personal take, I have two notes.
-
it’s an ideological stance and part of my consumer activism. With older tech, I mostly know what the hardware does, what the software does and I can expect nothing more or less than advertised. With today’s technology, the Terms of Service are often written in a way that is hard for the end user to understand. Since the end user simply wishes to use their^[some malicious actors even go as far as to formulating their Terms of Service in a way that doesn’t actually make you own what you have bought.] technology, a lot of people simply accept the terms without having understood them, which in turn forces them and their data to become the product they never agreed to become. A subscription to Netflix forces me to hand over some undefined information and I cannot rely on consistency in image quality. Setting up my own media player “forces” me to understand fully what it does, how it does it and I can expect consistency in regards to image quality.

older tech allows me to do one thing, and I feel like it has freed me of the dopamine addiction enducing toxic doomscrolling and consumerism that comes with multi purpose technologies.

Well, if channeling negative energy throw dance is a thing, then maybe I could give it another try. But I feel silly and embarrassed just by imagining it. :(

I really wish I had the guts to dance. I’m afraid of dancing. I don’t like dancing. I wish I liked dancing. I wish I could connect with people through dancing. Jeesh dancing is such an anxiety inducing topic to me… Wai… :(
