- Comment on Is it normal to feel tired of technological progress? 3 weeks ago:
people are not using it to do better. They are instead outsourcing their own thoughts and imagination
Exactly, technology is eating society instead of society being contientious about its use of tech. I believe that the pendulum will eventually swing back and people will start to ration their use of technology, but until that happens, opting out will remain really hard and I don’t know how to work with that…
- Comment on Is it normal to feel tired of technological progress? 3 weeks ago:
Exactly. It’s not ‘progress’ and yet oftentimes you’re forced to go along with it.
- Comment on Is it normal to feel tired of technological progress? 3 weeks ago:
Ahh true

You honestly sound like the old fucks
I do, and that’s what concerns me. Because I’m only in my 20s. I could disconnect for a while, but I’m always going to have to return to society, whose constant changing caused this fatigue, eventually.
- Comment on Is it normal to feel tired of technological progress? 3 weeks ago:
I think the thing that’s causing me the fatigue though is the constant change. For 000s of years people lived their whole lives with no technological change, whereas I’ve only been here for 2 decades and yet the world already works very differently than it did back then.

This is just the journey we’ve been on since the Industrial Revolution where the market decides what our new environment is for the sake of profit.
Well said

The Amish are a good point. Unfortunately being a Luddite gets quite logistically hard of you still want to be part of society

I don’t want my refrigerator connected to the internet
Yep
Try to buy a tv that isn’t a fucking smart tv, you just fucking can’t anymore.
This is what I’m on about, resisting is a loser’s game, even if you try it gets too hard :-(
what’s getting thrown at the wall.
Ah, well noticed. Yeah I guess a lot of the smart toasters etc is just the industry throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks.
Our lives do not need to be curated and polished into some technicolor madness.
Tell that to society 😩
But yes, we are definitely on the same page.

I guess that makes sense. Also, what sets the solar panels aside is that they don’t intrude into your modus operandi, like eg. always-on employer expectations (possible thanks to the internet) might.

- Comment on How about during the signup process(step) the user gets instance allocated randomly? 2 months ago:
I know this process acts as a filter in itself, clearing the randoms and normies.
This could be retained by having instances opt into/out of random allocation of new users.
