  • Holy crap, Lois. Where do I even begin?

    • Microsoft on my desktop. Want to try out Linux but even boomers would make fun of my tech skills. That, and more games are on Windows.

    • Cars. Born in bumfuck nowhere, and cities with public transit are expensive as hell. If I ever get a better paying job, I’m selling that shit and moving anyways, because cars are also a huge money sink in and of themselves.

    • Google. I’ll give them props, it’s a good search engine even in its enshittified form, some of the ads I can deal with because if I am looking for a new t-shirt or something, then it would make perfect sense a Uniqlo ad would pop up. But its privacy that’s the problem, and I try to be as “normal” as possible in this KiwiFarmsified hellscape. In the panopticon, the winning strategy is to not be interesting.

    • My iphone (inb4 avocado toast Venezuela). It would be silly to trash this thing now by principle, but once when its unusable, I’m going for a Linux Pinephone.

    • YouTube. It’s a Monopoly and my broke ass doesn’t want to subscribe to curiosity stream. It’s like Texas though, while it’s mostly derivative cringe, there’s small pockets of gold that keep me there.

    • Linkedin. Pretentious garbage

    • Suburban life. Again, I am not a suburbanite by choice, decent paying jobs are tight and it’s even harder to find an apartment in a state I know I probably won’t be killed in AND I can afford.

    TL;DR: I REALLY need to start learning 2 tech so I can navigate tech alternatives. Oh, and I need to get my shit together in life so I can afford to live in a blue city.

    For anyone here looking for “anti-Musks”, here’s a list:

    • Peter Rawlinson: the founder of Lucid and the chief engineer for the Tesla model S. He’s a capitalist LIB, but at least he isn’t Elongated Muskrat.

    -Zhang Kejian: the current directior of China’s National Space Administration

    • Li Yue: The president of the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation

    • Xi Jinping to some extent, who’s trained as a chemical engineer

    • Lê Thị Thu Thuỷ: CEO of the Vietnamese EV company VinFast

    IRL? Climate change. No one around me seem’s to GAF. Of course, I know places like here share in my belief.

    However, kid me when I first learned about the concept of evolution and now worry about how the reliance on industrialization will negatively impact our evolution if we overly rely on technology to do everything for us. I worry about “inventing ourselves to extinction” basically and that’s more or less my pet concern.
