It’s fascinating to live in a time where the majority of global consumers are just fed up and hate everything new on the market. Hate removal of physical media Hate forced AI Hate video surveillance in cars and homes Hate micro transactions Hate digital subscriptions What a time to be alive!

  • It’s a really bad sign for capitalism when consumer society is like, f this, I want to buy things from 2015.

    @hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange Every one of these things is rooted in data surveillance and degradation of the human right to privacy.

    @hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange "video surveillance in cars and homes" What does that even look like? I've never encountered it.

    @hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange They do hate all of that but yet directly and indirectly support orgs and govts that push those initiatives. /shrug

    @hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange Absolutely. And here I am, pre-ordering a remake of a 2014 video game I've played a million times, because I have absolutely zero faith that 99% of the remaining companies that make big open world games of the sort I enjoy can even do that any more without corporate profit mandates making them utter garbage. My house is full of physical media, I subscribe to almost no streaming services, and the most excitement I get when I acquire hardware is... when it's 20 years old.

    @hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange I like to hope this will be the time when the collective gets fed up enough to do something about it. removal of physical media -> fuck off I'm pirating forced AI -> fuck off I'm gonna comply in the most malicious way possible. I will literally ask chatgpt to churn video surveillance in cars and homes -> fuck off I'm biking and using vintage tech micro transactions -> fuck off I'm buying from physical stores and paying cash digital subscriptions -> fuck off, see point 1
