Seriously. At this point I just mock them. I don’t even offer solutions. Fuck you, you shat in our bed, now swim in it or get the fuck out.

Okay buy that sounds hard and I use tech because it’s easy, so…

Nestle too; they’ve always been so wholesome and responsible. Like if leopold2 was a corporation!

Maybe you should buy a few media outlets rather than begging and moching,peasant,

They’re libs dear. Missing the point is all of their shit.

I’m a doesnt-believe-in-slave-morality witch. Which is that?

…oh.

How is this a problem for piracy?

How do you expect them to ignore all that without something to keep their hands busy!?

I can’t believe nestle would do something this evil.

I don’t see how one can get confused; those things have very little overlap.

But then it can’t have a CEO who meets the requirement.

Um…

I like my response more, but yours is pretty good.

They’re infantilized. They’re made to be children, their brains depatterned into sludge by systems that give no options and respond as they want to, to manipulate the user rather than to do what the user wants. All of our technology does this. Modern ux design is fucking violence. You can hear corporations glory in how far this has come. It’s horrible.

It’s not that they need to RTFM. It’s that they need to be challenged and put in a position where their agency is exercised and their choices matter. They need technology to be meaningfully a part if their reality, rather than fantasy bullshit a tech billionaire just kind of decides/does in their direction. They need to heal. They need to reclaim their humanity and ability to apply logic to the world. And then maybe also to RTFM.

And until they do our technology will be violence.

You, as the it department, will be the managers of that violence, the theological police chief of the mystical real of domination and deception that is technology in this paradigm, rather than the infrastructural support mechanic you want to be. It’s why they don’t respect you; because your job isn’t real to them, its just the excuse to intrude upon them ever farther. Your stated philosophy makes you the enemy of all humanity, which is metal as fuck but not good.

Thwy are infantilized. Children who would rather die than grow.

Humidity.

I think the problem I’d that they’re sold on the idea if simple/easy being the highest version of technology, that frictionless and smoothe is better than empowering or secure.

Its the pitch that got them to pick up smart phones, after all. And that’s what needs to change.

Yep

Thats true now though, and the taxes you pay subsidize the thug with the gun.

Nah. I think I’ll do fine with just a gun. Plus whoever finds me can use itvtoo! Gift that keeps on giving.
