@Bic@piaille.fr I am anti many technologies, and I think computing ought to have stopped at 16 bits. but we need to be accurate about which bad outcomes can be blamed on technology per se, and which are due to capitalism - accelerating deliberate obsolescence, mandatory "market growth" while ignoring real costs to ecosystems and people, etc.
our billionaire overlords could (and would) just as easily make us waste our lives / destroy the earth making products other than apps and phones.

@keengrasp@layer8.space You’re right ! For me, « tech » stands for « tech industry » which is the capitalist industry of the GAFAMs, phones, apps and all that. How would you separate technology from capitalism ? 🤔 How would you call the tech without capitalism ? Most tech product I own has been produced and sold in a capitalist way. Oh actually not, raspberry pi and mechanical keyboards should out of this. idk Also, we are already destroying earth for many other reasons ! (maybe that’s what you meant by « and would »)
