I'm tired of pretending tech makes things better.  I'm tired of kidding myself that all these apps, these chatbots, these "tools" are doing anything but dragging us into the mud and the shit and calling it progress.  I sat down at a cafe a few days ago, hungry and ready

    but it beats working 12h a day in the field to feed my familiy.

    btw, people didn’t work 12 h a day in the field

    the long work days are a result of capitalism. yes, progress has increased average work hours, instead of decreasing them.

      People back then didn’t have Healthcare, cars or iPhones. I like all of those.

      Communist countries work even longer hours, look for instance 996 in China.
