"When people say “I’m not a tech person” (perhaps the single most repeated refrain in all our fieldwork) what they normally mean is something like “I can't work out how to operate the Torment Nexus like my niece can, she's a programmer you know”. Rather than seeing the underlying power relation: a system designed to make you feel alienated, on the outside, and needing a friendly corporation to help you, tech culture has managed to make you feel silly for not understanding it. Noone should have to operate the Torment Nexus!! You are not stupid for not getting it!" https://gfsc.community/r/476b14c4?m=a0cf5e3a-025b-47c3-a50a-4468c458d876
