I think the cure is identifying that it's all bullshit every time

I mean that's great but it doesn't stop everyone else from falling for it, and you having to pay the price accordingly.

I guess this is how I arrived at calling myself an "anti-technology technologist"

I just call myself a Luddite at this point. Any technology developed outside of FOSS just completely disinterests me. Everything else is assumed to be malware.

I got into cycling a few years' back. But of course technology is coming for bicycles too and all my riding buddies are just so amped about it and can't understand why I want absolutely nothing to do with it.
