We need more of this. Not, just because "they take our jobs" but because we need to normalize every day minor means of resistance to the tech dystopia we are in. Not because they are individual acts that will somehow change things.

Well, it is one thing to protest against delivery bots and another to block delivery, preventing a customer from perhaps receiving a vital shipment. With the blockade the client is harmed and not so much the company.
Meanwhile the disabled person at home, unable to go out easily, waiting for their delivery...
Not all uses of these modern app-based delivery systems are people being lazy.
Isn't this robot* actually driven by a human in Colombia, tho?
It's not so much Luddite as "dose darn foreigners are takkin me dang jerbs"
