Rather, the trick is to figure out what is important for you individually and learn to not care for the opinions of others thst go past factual decision making information.

I really hope you can see the difference between a tech company hire and dudes on the streets playing SS

You do know that meta doesn’t only have high level jobs, right? There cannot just be middle managers everywhere without the bog standard workers.

What kind of perception do you have of tech giants? That all who work there are some kind of imaginary elite?

You do realize that the problem is that people need money? Yea, many would likely have a choice where to work but many might Not have had options.

What is needed is financial basic freedom for everyone. Countries need to sit down and figure out how to make it work because as it stands, jobs have turned into a form of slavery by design.

At this point I wish for every mega Corp to die before they turn even more into tge cyberpunk dystopia visions of 80s movies.

So much greed.

Bo wonder most of us give a fuck about our company. Why should I care if I am nothing more than a number that is unfortunately not a robot.

Working could be to just create something good and do so in a community with like minded people. And if it earns enough money to pay everyone’s comfortable life needs then that is enough.

That they constantly force growth is just the most toxic bullshit imaginable.

I really do see the issue with AI. I see people around me outsource thinking to it too much. Like literally. As if they are happy that a machine can make their life choices for them. This is extremely worrying

This person sucks. Priorities in life wrong

Yes, that was my way of thinking too some many years ago.

And all my enthusiasm and doing stuff resulted in… What I have now. A world where I have little time for myself, where I have to grind money in a job type I’m too experienced in to switch away from, in a world that keeps getting more dystopian every year.

And I watch with horror how the next generation is falling for fascist populist rethoric politics and voting for them because they feel the same way as me but lack the life experience to realize that they are voting for the wolf in sheep clothing.

Without money I can’t change anything.

I hate money and I hate that I have to want a lot of it.

Keep hold of your idealism. Perhaps it will serve you better than it has me.

A quote I like:

Nobody wants to solve problems. Everyone just wants to get rich enough so the problems don’t apply to them anymore.

It’s true. Same for disillusioned me nowadays too.

I sure hope some good quality manufacturers jump in and fill the consumer need for dumb tech cars and everything else that can be “smart”

These days any AI or Smart feature just makes any product far less interesting to me

I will. Thank you.

Any idea of star citizen and path of exile 2 run on it?

MS… The only reason why I still ise it is because I don’t have the time or nerves to get used to Linux in my current life.

Getting and understanding the workarounds I need to get working just to play my two favorite games that don’t run on Linux is not something I will use my time on.

I need a plug and play windows clone on Linux that runds everything I know out of the box, sadly.

People here won’t like that, but it’s the reality gate that keeps many people aeay from switching.

Well, if MS ever tries to force me into ID verification or subscription windows or based on AI at its core I’ll bite the bullet. But not before

Eerily accurate

I was a flash dev back then. People were very happy because of no more plugin need, no more badly scripted flash-ads that ate 100% cpu, etc.

Also Apple…
