I don't like how tech is evolving...
Yeah, I'm not sure I like how the axe in my hand is evolving. It seems to be going for the internet fiber.
Devolving*
It’s evolving, just towards authoritarianism.
There's already a firm divide between the foss/self sufficiency crowd and modern tech.
If this is bad enough, you'd see every foss faithful walking around with a laptop, mp3 player and camera like they're in 2009.
I hardly believe foss faithful people would ever carry a laptop, but there is a chance they will choose a foss-respecting phone (not that there are many options)
The whole thinkpad obsession in the linux/foss community isn't visible to you?
Carrying a laptop like it was a Steam Deck is pretty hard, nevermind like it was a phone, unless it's like a Vaio or something.
Every day that passes I use my T480 more and more, it will die with me
It was always intended to be this way.
The beginning was pre-enshittification. We're going from the good ole' days to the future, and the future sure as shit aint for you unless you're in the club... and you aint, none of us are.
We need to make our own club, with blackjack and hookers!
