      i will grant that some of this is mid-30s getting older crisis shit, but watching computation get wholly swallowed by capital is a constant source of depression. it breaks my heart.

    NFTs suck. turning the web into a scam money laundering machine sucks. corporate VR sucks. corporate social networks* suck. computers that dont run code without a corporations permission suck. it all sucks. * like the one i am posting on! if you caught this you are very clever!!

      all of these nerds will insist that nothing is impossible and that the sky is the limit but when you mention a classless moneyless society all of the sudden we need to be realistic and pragmatic. ok.

        anyway. im mostly getting older and im tired and very sad to see a generation so hype on visions of a future that is just a shitty projection of the present. a generation with a collapsed imagination. i used to make winamp skins.
