If I was still in California, I’d be very tempted to get right in the face of devout computer touchers that still worship King Bazinga and laugh obnoxiously loud in their face in a way that might provoke a fistfight.
That’s how I feel right now. For some reason, this many layers of blantant lies with no consequences and credulous techbros still buying into it sort of entertains me but also pisses me off enough that throwing hands, just once, might feel good.
I am pissed for all the millions of kids (globally) who got into tech dreaming of changing the world only to find out that everything big tech promised was either a lie or is actually making the world worse off. Or worse still, that they wasted the very best years of their lives and took on crippling levels of debt for a computer science degree that is now worthless because capitalists have decided that training juniors doesn’t maximize short term profits. Fuck capitalism.
