I don't think I like technology anymore. Computers are way too expensive, and all the operating systems are different flavors of dogshit. Software is either a fucking subscription, just maximum cock-punch wealth extraction at all times, or else broken freeware trash that's probably malware. Tablets and phones are torture to use due to their drooling retard poke-the-screen interface. Can't type a full length, adult reading level sentence without wanting to kill yourself. And every app is a spyware scam. The only piece of software that isn't garbage is Steam, but there aren't any games I want to play. Every website is 87mb of broken Javascript that wants to crawl up your asshole and measure your fucking colon polyps for AI training data. Can't just use the website, no. Have to accept the cookies, opt out of the mailing list, close all the popups and overlays, make an account, password with 9000 bits of entropy, check your email for a link, check your phone for an SMS code, check your authenticator app, insert your Yubikey, sound your fucking urethra. Gotta buy a new wifi router because it's not getting patches anymore and new CVEs are dropping every 45ms. Then low and behold, my printer can't connect to the new router, so I have to fall back to using cables, but I don't have a cable that's long enough so I have to shell out more fucking money for zero fucking benefit over what I already had for years. At least the new wifi router will let me set up a vLAN for my FUCKING HUMIDIFIER because a FUCKING HUMIDIFIER needs wifi and a FUCKING APP for some reason and won't let me change the settings without it. Nothing about technology in 2026 is for *MY* benefit. It's all about barriers and obstacles being put in my path so I can be milked for every fucking dollar I have, and putting me under a microscope so that a bazillion Indian-run eCommerce shitholes can optimize the extraction, trying to find ways of squeezing out every last fucking drop of cash I have. And now some LinkedIn striver shithead will be along shortly to tell me that I just gotta ADAPT BRO, trying to flex on me for his audience of bot followers. It's no wonder that people on the internet (to the extent that there are any actual people left on the internet) are so hostile. Having to interface with any piece of technology more complicated than an inclined plane is enough to give you heart palpitations. Fuck.
