Growing to hate technology

As I kid I fucking loved technology, it was always improving and we were seeing massive leaps in what machines were capable of doing. We went from the Atari 2600 all the way up to the PS2 and then everything just seemed to stagnate. Technology no longer improved as much as it just sort of polished things a bit better.

This even happened with the internet where we kept seeing improvements and new ways to use it until we hit social media and immediately it all stagnated and turned to shit on the spot. Instead of having cool games to play on it the internet is now watching someone else replay the same old game over and over or seeing some cam whore play the latest bland as fuck skinner box.

It went from being an exciting thing to explore and see all these awesome new websites to asking myself which company I want to spy on me for an hour. I have super high speed internet and can download a gig in less than 60 seconds... and then the only porn being offered is trannies, interracial or cuckolding. What's even the point of that?

I understand as people get older they start to see newer tech as something they can't understand but that isn't the problem here. It's not that the tech is not understandable, it's that it's devoid of any soul or purpose. There's no excitement, nothing new and interesting. The most interesting thing I've found lately is Neocities which is little more than a Geocities parody. It's so bad that parodying the bad stuff is now one of the exceptional highs.

Any one else just grown to utterly despise technology but it's so inbuilt into who they are there's no real way to disconnect from it without completely restructuring their lives?

You just have to dig deeper
FTP networks are halfway decent place to start

We have ideas as a society. Cool thoughts, dreams, fantasies. One thing that you have to realize about the time you came of age is that much of the "advances" happening were hardware finally coming to be capable of things that people had imagined for it. Tablets were invented in the 1950s and 60s by science fiction authors, sixty years later Furer Jobs finally released hardware that could perform what those authors envisioned and not die in two hours. The professor at my local university who is hands-down their integrating-computers-into-society guy got his PhD writing a ray tracer on a minicomputer. We've ran out of relevant cool ideas dreamed up by PhD candidates and SciFi authors over the last century, and are now on our own. Either we've already made the hardware do it, or it's beyond the capabilities of hardware for the foreseeable future.

You are jilted because you lived at just the right time to see this apparent technological bloom, as the technology filled the visions of what it could do, and then saw things stagnate as technology hit the limitations on what it could actually accomplish. Now we are only left with visions of the future that computers cannot perform.

The problem isn't technology. We liked technology because back in those days it was people like us who made it, used it, talked about it. For us, by us.

I'm actually in the same boat as OP. I LOVED technology growing up, and seeing the explosion of tech in the 90s and early 00s was amazing. It was like another space race.
Everyone involved with tech was doing it because they loved it. People in their garages just soldering shit together, coding day and night, working for something they were passionate about.
But now.... now it's all changed. Now it isn't about passion. It isn't about doing what you love. It's all about pandering to whatever bullshit faggot demographic is complaining the loudest. The tech isn't "by us for us," it's "by them for no one."
My whole life is tech. I grew up with it. It molded me into the person I am today and my entire career, but I can't fucking stand all this facebook, twitter, snapchat bullshit. It's not that I don't understand, it's that I loathe it.
I hate that no one understands it.
I hate that everyone complains about it.
I hate that worthless cunts control things containing large amounts of data and twist it to fit their way of thinking instead of telling the truth.
I hate that the strides technology has made is treated so poorly by the masses.
I hate that media has turned into a 24 hour cycle of shit.
I hate that there is such a wealth of information out there to consume, but the masses use it to post pictures of their dicks and tits.

In the past when you bought a computer or software you bought a product. Sure, there was usually a catalogue included with other stuff you could buy, but that was just some harmless extra you could ignore (I actually quite like looking at old software catalogues that came with games).

Today when you buy something, or more likely today when you sign up for something the product is secondary, it's only a carrier for the advertising to buy even more shit. Bought a new game? Buy our DLC, season pass and lootcrates. Bought a new phone? Sign up for our services, buy more apps, use apps with ads that want you to buy other shit. Buy shit inside the apps. Bought a new PC? Sign up for a Microsoft account. Buy Minecraft and Candy Crush. Bought some software? Buy our cloud service, pay monthly fees, you own nothing goy.

He's beig fucking delusional. It's all fucking bullshit and everyone on this board agrees. If you think there's fucking anything you can do to stop this shit then you're fucking delusional.

Daily reminder that Fakebook is now so fucking used and required in modern society that even gettin a fucking job requires it.

Stop fucking suggestig this bluefucking pill hopefagging shit. Everyone else ITT has the proper fucking idea. It's all fucking down the drain, and that's the fucking thing about chans, they actually fucking see the truth of everything, and has higher intelligence than the rest of modern society about these fucking things. Now take your cuck shit back to reddit.

And there is also the fact that anyone who trys to change it back is the dumbest shit ever, and doesn't realise how they will be stampeded the fuck ot of by the big monopolies. All of Zig Forums has already come to terms with the fact that all will be in the cloud in a few years, so why the fuck don't anyone else trying to stop it accept it. It's the old slogan, "conform or be vaporized." So fucking stop trying to turn this around, we actually know our shit and know it will never work.

This thread should teach the bluepill hopecucks a proper fucking lesson before they march on to their death. Everything is fucking shit now, and that is a fact cofirmed by this site.

I have my free software today. I am fine with what I have. When open Risc V chips come later, my computing will be perfect.

>have my free software today
For now

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I've grown to hate it too. And it's a pretty simple reason why. Technology used to be about improving life and making the world better. Technology would come out and make your own life easier. No more thumbing through books, just search. Talk with people all over the world like you never could before. Create things you never thought possible.

Today, internet is a race to see who can give people the biggest dopamine rush via likes, tweeks, favorites, and hive-mind bullshit, all controlled by a few massive companies that have locked out any competition what so ever.

The purpose of the internet and computers have changed. They are now about spying on you and making you feel like you're accomplishing something by making stupid as fuck posts and having friends and random people like, upvote, favorite, etc your stupid shit. They've been turned evil by evil people.

And chans are the only places who will ever understand this. Don't listen to the cucks who think they can solve this problems, they're just being delusional facing up against the most invincible evils in the world that are Google and FB. Want that job? Well you better have an insta, snapchat, and FB account. There is nothing that can be done differently anymore, and that is a thing we all understand

LMAO.
It has been how many years since the last time you've left the basement, user?

Yeah I have grown weary of the slave aspect of machines.
They're still good, but boy, so many man-eons of people in their peak and formative years are being lost to sitting in front of glowy boxes and zombie phones.

I'm glad I'm old enough to have had my growing years when there was no internet or anything, I actualy had to go out and move my body to have fun.
My life would be so much worse if that didn't happen.

This particular part of your rant can be applied to so many other things these days, people seem to think that the way we live will last forever or that 60 years of feminism will outsmart 10k years of evolution. I hate that way to think, the I am the smartest person in the room, people in the past were bigots if I would have been there I would have totally been different even though I believe people are a product of their environment, and people in the future will look up to me because I'm on the right side of history. These morons always think they're the best thing that even happened and when they're together, they always try to outdo each other with whatever they perceive to be the smart and enlightened thing to do even if it's fundamentally retarded, and if you're facing an "enemy" and you don't have any argument, make an hamster face and look at your "allies" for approval while telling us which year we're in.

I've been trying to tell these fuckers for months but they just. don't. fucking. listen. Glad you accept the truth. And I gotta fucking ROFL at the people who think we can still do anything to change this. It's fucking obvious we can't, and that is something that is important for actual redpilled people like you and me to understand.

You don't need social media presence to get a job unless you want to work for some bullshit like Best Buy. Besides, you know you could do a thing called working for yourself, or remote work, or any number of things if that shit about jobs requiring social media was even true. It isn't, you just want us all to accept your excuses for neetdom. You are the reason you fail, own it. You don't need us to be your enabler.

Im right there with you, user. My biggest issue is the steady maneuvering of tech towards a cloud-based, license based, "smart" everything system. As wireless internet speeds match and surpass HDD transfer speeds, you're going to see all physical storage disappear from consumer tech, and all software, including the OS, will be hosted on a corporate server. Consumer computers will become glorified tablets running VMs that have to be connected to the internet to work at all, and all of "your" files and software will be accessed remotely. It's the wet-dream end goal for total corporate and state control and surveillance of technology usage. You think I'm being dramatic? Go look up Chromebooks.

Things are indeed already fucked beyond tangible repair unless summoning ancient atlantean haunebu fleets through temporal wormholes is somehow possible, that's why it's time to engage in nuclear selection so man can rise from the GNU/ashes and bring forth an age of truly libre spacefaring software.

Also, you recieve an award for the most based trips ever to have been laid upon this board.

Your bluepill isn't so relevent now, is it? Once again, a reminder that there is no fucking stopping this future, and much of Zig Forums has come to terms with that.

That's how you know the based, old redpilled Zig Forums is back. Nothing can change this timeline.

Brilliantly said, user. This is a quote that should be upheld in its own sticky, to remind these hopeshills on the world they shall verily live in. If only more would see the world through the eyes of yours and mine so.

Oh, didn't fancy seeing you here blackpill CIA nigger.

NVMe and RAID setups aren't going anywhere. Why does it matter to me if all normalfags switch to a thin client model?

Paying per hour to dial into a mainframe... but at least NORMALFAGS won't be able to ruin it!

Regarding the rocket FBW it probably depends on the amount of undercover bioluminescents active in the field of small private rocket startups.
If it's just some quasi-fireworks that can't even get a cubesat to any decent orbit they probably won't bother beyond the usual automated big data collection, I'd make sure to write the code as poojeetly unintelligible and bloated as possible while adopting some kind of CoC but remaining in total control and only enforcing it on the surface to further deter their interest in seeing you as a threat.

While greedy companies and the stupid masses are the usual culprits of this, I wonder if the raw resources used in electronics are limiting technology.
We're about to figure out fusion and it's been a long fucking time coming.
Power efficiency of batteries and such are still not at 100%.
Cybernetic prosthetics are still affected by biological rejection.
Even with the myriad of satellites in orbit, you can still lose signal on your phone.
Mechs are still non-viable due to the processing power needed to keep them upright and walking like biological creatures.
We STILL can't figure out anti-gravity, microwave propulsion, true AI or even vactrains.

Is it even that different now? How much shit do you do through your web browser? All media except games is done in a web browser these days. Unless you're torrenting something it's unlikely to ever be on your machine.

Science doesn't exist and it never will exist. It's another form of propaganda where you can control the tech and people's response to it in order to keep them in line. You live in a propaganda bubble that denies race exists. What else is being denied that you can't see in front of your eyes?

Fictional money which came from no where isn't a positive.

I'll explain once and for all: Yeah, we live in a world where there is no progress, thus everything only can go degenerate.
Now, that's not why you shouldn't do anything, nor saying what you're saying.
So, even though it's the truth, you should not tell that, for the simple reason that it serves their interests, and because our ancestors did not stop making children/fight while knowing this truth.

Moreover, the degeneracy happens at a global scale; but you still can maintain yourself at a local one. That's why fighting IS important, because that's literally for the survival of your own ideas, not for the world, but for yourself. It's possible to do. They'll never be able to destroy all island. The goal is to create one, to maintain one and to bring as much people in the right on it as you can.

Going against the machine is extremly noble, because that's a lost cause, that'll cost your everything. That's the best of us, that do that. Now, at our little level, the goal is to maintain yourself and your family up, or if you're enough lucky to have one, your community.

I don't know if you're saying that blindly, without any depth, and/or if it's because you're tired of faggots coming out of college thinking that with petitions, or controlled and authorized by the government protests, they'll change anything. On that last point, I totally agree, that's the wrong methods, following retarded ideologies. But I feel that you're saying that without depth, and just to content yourself for not doing anything. Because there's a huge amount of retarded people working in Zig Forums that give this as an excuse to use facebook, their smartphone, all the tech, saying that since you can't escape, then let's embrace it.

I'm sorry but again, material is not important. The life in itself is not important. But I'm not gonna try to convince a secular money loving american about the absolute importance of spirituality and honor.

They use technology in hopspitals for a reason my friend. They don't have to solve every known possible problem. Anyway i was talking about in principle. In principle, technology could be used to solve diseases.
Electric guitars are technology. Every instrument used in jazz is technology. Or are you just saying entertainment in general is a waste of time?

Ubuntu/GNOME are already as bad as they could possibly get. It's not even worth installing them anymore for whatever micro benefits they could offer.

They're still only treating symptoms and not the causes. If you don't have cancer in the first place, you don't have to cure it.


The biggest killer is cancer. The worst diseases in term of money are chronic diseases. Yet they can't cure it. The truth is that chronic disease is the best for big pharma. Do you know how much someone having cancer is worth? More than 120.000 euros (for 18 months of treatment). Chronic disease is with vaccines and over use of medicament why Big Pharma is the second biggest industry after computing in the world.

You're just playing with words here. I was obviously talking about industries. You're like saying that hammers are technological tools.

Yeah well all I was originally saying is that technology could be good in principle.

Steam is accepted because "it just works" and I pay $2 for a game I want to play and have it ready to go in 10 minutes at most. Steams DRM isn't getting in the way of anything like Origin or Uplay does. It "just works" and that means people are willing to accept it.

You have to make compromises in this fucked up world and frankly Steam isn't a hill to die on.

I agree, technology can be good for society, if this society respect nature and have at its center spirituality. But for our society, that only consider profit, it just can't be good.

Guitar exists since very long time, so I don't understand why you're talking about that. The current evolution of music is from my point of view, incredibly chaotic (post rock for example). It represents the current monstrous existential crisis, and the "true state" of our world, right now. So I don't know how I should judge that. I was more talking about, you know, rap music, pop music, which is just "everything is awesome" or "it feels good to be a gangsta" kind of music.
