Ugh. This crap makes me want to become a Luddite. I wonder if I can move into the Unabomber's old cabin in the woods. (I promise I won't make any bombs!)

friendly reminder that Luddites weren't opposed to technology, just wary of its misuse and how it was going to benefit the people higher up rather than the workers.

Weird, that sounds exactly like my current problem

Wonder why being called a Luddite is nowadays an insult

Also wonder why skinning a babies genitals is considered not child sexual abuse

And why diamonds are considered rare when millions of them sit in warehouses to artificially keep prices up

The answer is always someone profited by making it so, and that should concern you

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
