how would we be?

i'm gonna list a few things:

  • war in europe
  • genocide in gaza
  • everything is a subscription
  • appliances are made to fail now
  • phone manufacturers blindly follow apple's horrible decisions
  • housing market is going to hell
  • general enshittification of every service
  • cars are getting worse every day, be it the phasing out of ICEs in favour of EVs that have no hope of lasting even 20 years (that one may be fixed until 2035), the general reliability problems or the ugly designs.
  • Windows is actively getting more invasive and even less private, although linux is looking very promising
  • the political right is getting more drastic, and it seems to be working for them

edit:

  • global warming, i forgor

i am not surprised

Global warming is kind of a big one to not list...

[-] JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl 20 points 2 years ago

No no no, our pocket computers becoming too much like another company's pocket computers definitely is a bigger issue! Get your priorities straight!

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

thats just part of a general trend of everything we care about enshittifying.

i dont blame them, i used to love tech and now i despise most of it.

[-] KpntAutismus@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

you're right, i did forget that one.

[-] EndHD@lemm.ee 30 points 2 years ago

don't forget all the layoffs happening despite already being overworked, understaffed, and bombarded with RTO propaganda

[-] rab@lemmy.ca 23 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I promise that people who are "not ok" are literally not even thinking about how Windows is getting worse. I'm a sysadmin and if windows was perfect my life would still be equal levels of shit, it's such a non issue that I'm amused you brought it up

[-] KpntAutismus@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

computers are a big part of my life, i guess my priorities are just set differently.

i definetely consider it a factor in my mental health.

[-] rab@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

I literally maintain computers for a living and it's quite low on my list of things that make me sad, yeah way different priorities I guess

[-] pinkdrunkenelephants@lemmy.cafe 0 points 2 years ago

It's the factor that's easiest to do something about, though. Just switch to Linux.

[-] KpntAutismus@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

not very easy if you play multiplayer games, do sim racing, or play VR games.

Fusion360 is finnicky, and yes i have tried using freecad.

just not that viable for my use case yet.

[-] rab@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

I'm a server admin, look after hundreds of redhat servers and windows servers. So I can't just delete windows from my life. Some reason I've just become completely indifferent to how shitty windows is

[-] TheBananaKing@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

You forgot "on track for a 10c rise by the end of the century"

[-] rab@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 years ago

And social media completely destroyed the fabric of society

[-] squiblet@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

Well damn, Windows gets invasive and I am DONE

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Welcome to Linux. Pick a flavor.

Or all the flavors.

[-] squiblet@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I was joking. I have used Linux as my primary desktop since 1999… I didn’t trust Windows XP.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I grew up on red hat…. I remember XP being the weird thing with the funny buttons I used for games.
