#i fucking hate technology

[ace-fandom-dumbass]

chanting "fuck off and die" at my phone after it makes me factory reset and set all my shit up again

#i fucking hate technology #i say while actively trying to go into theatre tech #but also fuck this #my phone's an android it's supposed to be better than this

[evakant]

nothing i hate more than the fact that you can't uninstall chrome from phones

#fra.txt #yeah yeah android* phones you know what i mean #its been a week of tumblr opening links on chrome instead of firefox #(you know. my actual set-as-default browser?) #and i am ready to fucking bite something about it #it's so annoying #because it doesn't actually open the link #because i refuse to give permissions to chrome #so i click a link. tumblr opens it in chrome and i get the 'accept & continue' google page #i fucking hate technology #no i don't... but godddd

I hate websites I hate managing websites so much. I'm always clenching my fists waiting for the day GTW completely breaks. I just wanna draw comics man.

#the plugin I'm using has been unsupported for years #and I'm like...waiting for the axe to fall #it seems like the only one being regularly updated is one that caters more to the webtoon kind of format #and the second I read about how to integrate things my eyes glaze over I HATE computers #Dunno how they work...don't want to fuck with things lest my shoestring whatever completely collapses #so I just cross my fingers and hope nothing catastrophic happens #god i wish i could apply to hiveworks or something #I could look into transitioning to comic fury or something but that just...I don't want to start over again #I just want something that's Actually Fuckin Supported but i guess the nature of technology is it'll never be stable for more than 10 years

[c3rnunnos]

Gonna be a downer tonight and say that as much as I love the opportunities to learn and to meet new people that technology has given me, I still hate it more and more the older I get.

This is kinda weird coming from someone that seems to be always on Tumblr, but I really.... Really am coming to hate technology with a passion. Nothing seems to work. Everything has to update or else. You could be using your computer in the way that you always did and suddenly boom, your antivirus decides a problem is happening even though you didn't do anything. Corporations steal my information and I have to always be connected. "oh we don't use that app for videocalling, can you download this one?" "oooh we need you to sign up for this, or else we will deny you service!" "oooh there are sudden damaged files in your pc, make a scan to fix it!" how about I cry instead.

I am becoming increasingly technophobic, yet I rely on technology to keep in contact with loved ones and do my hobbies, and I just wish i could stop, or that all of this continuous updating could stop and tech companies would finally optimize their damn products instead of releasing wildly unoptimized and vulnerable shit into the world. I am currently so full of rage and anxiety because my pc gave me and alert and I will not be able to sleep tonight. Thank fuck my dad is there to check things with me and hold my hand as I scan stuff, and I dread the day when he will be gone and I won't have his calming presence beside me as I do yet another scan or try to download a program.

This is depressing, and anxiety inducing, and I'm so done with technology and cannot let go of it. What the fuck.

#cernu speaks #personal #Technophobia #It's as I said in the post. My antivirus decided that I suddenly have damaged elements to my fuckin... Operating system #And i don't know how it could have happened #Tomorrow I do a backup and ask my dad for help but. Jesus fucking christ i hate technology so much

ATTENTION GEN Z, I know we hate poetry, but please, if you've ever felt alone, or hated technology, or hated Gen Alpha, please read this, repost, do whatever, but please, this was written for all of you <3

The news this morning 

Was talking about how we go to Chat GPT

For therapy

And advice

And my mother said it’s just because we don’t know how

To communicate face to face

When why should we?

You shoved an iPad into our faces

The second we were old enough to comprehend it

You put on the TV

And we believed the characters were speaking live

And they could see us

Through those pixels

Why shouldn’t we turn to a computer

To give us answers

When it’s that that gave us the issues to begin with?

Why shouldn’t we

Chat with a computer

About nothing and everything

When it is that 

That made us feel so isolated?

People wonder

Why we’re so concerned about Gen Alpha

And it’s obvious

When we think about it

It’s not because they’re growing up too fast

It’s because we know what it’s like

To have wires shoved into our veins

And now

Now they were born with them

Already pulsing through their blood

We don’t want them to make the same mistakes we did

But I think it’s too late,

They’re already turning into what we don’t want

Anyone

To ever be

And it’s scary to watch,

We know what technology has done to us

And we don’t want to watch anyone else

Succumb to it like we did

We are the last generation

Who went outside to play

And know what birds sound like

And wish to break their phones

We are the last generation

That will ever

Ever 

Have a normal childhood

Now we can just watch

As the depression rates get higher

And more young children know what suicide is

Too early

And learn how to self harm

And lose their innocence

And be scared of men

And not care for dolls

We are scared of them

But we’re scared for them

Of course we turn to AI to talk to

Our parents don’t get it,

They can barely find opening hours for a shop,

While we can find a 10-step guide on how to murder,

Or build a bomb,

And guides on how to manipulate your body

And everything is at our fingertips

This is generational trauma that they have created

We can watch someone shooting their brains out

And we can receive photos from anyone

And why do we know what everything we shouldn’t worry about is?

We had COVID

And we turned to screens

And went on TikTok

And created trends

And it felt like a community

Until everyone was there

And we couldn’t do anything

And we got addicted

And we can’t turn back

We started with chat rooms

And we found like minded-people

And it was always “sweetie, be careful of creeps on the internet”

And now it’s just

“Be in bed by 10”

But we’ll keep scrolling

And we all have friends who live half the world away

And if you mention that

Someone has to ask if you’ve called yet

And “have you seen their face?”

We can look at anything

There are guides for everything

We know where Kim K was two minutes ago

And why do I feel pressure to always have something on my story?

We talk to robots

Because no adults will ever know

How sick we feel 

Before we go on our phones

No adults can know

How we’ve seen every scar

And depression become a trend

And we have to use the hashtag actuallyautistc

No adults will know

How there are video essays on anything

And we shouldn’t know about everyone that has been raped

Or murdered

And we shouldn’t have wikihow

On how to be attractive

It started as a joke,

How stupid is this thing I found?,

But we keep reading it

And we start to believe it

Why would we read books?

Technology is constantly advancing

Everything is irrelevant in months

And we must be careful not to be cancelled

And a dress can divide a nation

We don’t want to watch Gen Alpha

Leap so blindy into their screens

Trusting what they read,

We want to keep it for us,

We have to live with it,

And as much as they suck,

It is our fault for staying 

And posting everything

We are a sad generation with happy pictures

And a face full of makeup

And we’re just perpetuating stereotypes

And you can’t like something unless you’re obsessed

We can know the cure for any medical condition

But there is no guide on how to destory our screens

And lives

And I know I’m fifteen

But this is ruining mine,

And so many others' lives.

We don’t want to see little kids

On their mums phones

And my mother defends it,

Saying mums just need a minute to breathe,

But please

Anything else

I don’t want to see a baby already addicted to CocoMelon

We don’t want to see

More people falling into a hole

And we know it’s why we’re sad

But nobody else should have to go through it,

That’s for us,

That’s an us problem

I saw a six year old

Using Drunk Elephant

And swearing in her GRWM

And none of that is fair,

How are we letting this slide?

But we can’t do anything

Because we don’t want to admit there’s a problem

We can learn anything about Hitler

And anything about Meryl Streep

And it can be within the same two fucking clicks

I remember

When my age on TikTok clocked over to 15

A few days before my actual birthday

And it was then

That all I saw was suicide notes,

And self harm scars

And how to hide things from your parents guides

And abuse stories

There was no going back,

Every other person whose a teenage girl on the app

Is probably met with the same things as me

The algorithm

Is designed to show you a positive video

Every few scrolls

Just to keep you hooked,

And it works,

It’s a science,

It works to a T

We can know where any friend is

And read receipts plague us

And anything will be screenshot

And used against you

School thought taking away our phones 

Would fix this,

Like it’s a magical cure,

When all it’s teaching us

Is how addicted we are,

And how best to hide an earbud

And we need music to concentrate!

Or course we do,

We have constant stimulation

It is never quiet

There is always a voice talking

We are getting mad at kids for being on a phone

When we all know

We’re just mad that it is actually happening

And we can’t warn them

And no one will listen

Because how could it be that bad?

In ten years

People who grew up with technology 

Are going to end up with something like PTSD

Because we can’t let go of it

We can’t put it down,

We can get an essay written for us in seconds,

And Dall-E can make anything for us

So of course we’ll talk to AI,

It’s better than talking to a real person

And acting like we’re okay,

We’d rather sit behind a screen

And control sims

And listen to music

So we can’t hear our minds

Every time I scroll through

I’m met with tales of girls who get killed by their fathers,

Every time I scroll through

I’m showen another 7 second video

With sad litte text

On sad little faces

We want to escape,

We want to tear our veins out,

Rip the wires,

Shove them back in to our body

After we re-wire our brains,

Of course,

Because we can diagnose ourselfs with any mental illness

That we see fit

Because there has to be something wrong with you

We will never go back,

It is impossible 

We have Whispers from Pinterest

And sad purple quotes

Lining our camera roll

Which should highlight our happy moments

But is just videos of us crying

It has ruined relationships,

How dare we follow another guy,

How dare he like another girl's photo?

We have our music right there

We don’t have to learn lyrics,

We can play any instrument,

We must like Taylor Swift,

We must have Kanye West

Everything is a trend

And your clothes must match your aesthetic

And you have to be funny

Or smart

Or creative

And how dare we burn out?

How dare we burn out

When if we didn’t rot in our beds

Scrolling aimlessly

Would solve half our problems?

There is no fix now,

We have to watch them grow up

Knowing they’ll ask what this-big-word is

Before they’re even five

Because an ad came up on mummy’s phone

And “what’s a vape?”

And “am I fat?”

All we can do now

Is listen to our sad songs

And act like social media

Didn’t ruin our perceptions

On everything.

Hot take but if I buy something I think I should own it :/

#Yes this is about digital vs physical media. #I hate digital games and movies I hate subscription services I hate not having a physical tangible disk #If I buy something I don't want a license to use it I want an actual copy of the product!! #No I don't want to subscribe to clip studio to keep getting updates! I hesitated buying the damn thing digitally! I wanted a fucking disk!! #I don't want to subscribe to a game or anything I just wanna buy it (and it should work without needing to download half the damn thing!) #I want disks and cartridges and boxes!!! #I want to own what I purchase without a company threatening to go offline and make me lose access to what I got!! #I want to go to best buy and buy software in a box!! Please!! #ok rant over #I just get mad at the current state of technology sometimes. #Rant on planned obsolescence likely coming soon lol

All websites and apps should HAVE to give you the option of showing your password when you type it. How the fuck else are you supposed to know if you’re actually entering the right thing and you need to reset it, or if you’re just making a fucking typo thirteen times in a row.

Fuck this “we’ll keep you safe against your will” security theatre bullshit. If I’m sitting alone in my house with no one but the cats to see what I’m doing, I should be able to see what I’m fucking doing I think, actually.

(The cats already know all my log-ins anyway, it’s too late.)

so. arcane. the next season is (hopefully) coming out this year and I can't help but kinda dread it? mostly because the first season was so damn good I feel like the second season has a high standard to live up to. and partially because since I saw that the arcane stories are now the characters league lore as well I really feel they're gonna fumble somewhere.

as much as I love the show for its animation, story, soundtrack, and direction I always thought that the show's biggest downfall was that it was unfortunately a league of legends ip, and the creators will try to tie it in to the games in an attempt to make the games better, but will probably only serve to make the show worse.

#it speaks #arcane #ok rant over #potential spoilers in tags #i know a few things that are bound to happen and im kinda iffy on some #im excited to see ekko and viktors technological advancement #im ambivalent towards vander being revived as warwick. it honestly depends on how the writers decide to handle it #frankly the only thing i would fucking hate to happen but know is likely happening anyways is vi becoming an enforcer

Forgive me for being a digital native but I will fight people who go "we can't digitalize this part of the process because some of our customers are old and don't know how to use an email" as if emails haven't been around for the past 30+ years and these so-called old people in their 50-60s didn't have plenty of time to learn. Like at some point just admit you don't give a fuck and just want to be catered to

#Sorry but i hope that if a new innovative technology comes out when I'm in my 40s i will be willing to learn it #I hate this fucking country ruled by obtuse old peopleeeee. Andé in pensioun

looking into solutions bc one of my airpods is wayyy quieter than the other like almost no sound on the right and all the sound on the left. and looking at different websites saying that it might just be because they're old, they're only designed to last 2-3 years, etc, is making me so sad and also furious. remember when you used to have one computer for 10 years. remember when chargers and headphones would just. work. and you could have them for a while and be fine. I miss longevity so bad. why are my headphones only 3 years old and they don't fuckign work. I'm gonna strangle someone.

#to be clear i didnt buy them or ask for them. my brother in law got us some #he had them like cheaper from work or something i think #but anyway theyre the second gen like normal airpods. #and i would use wired headphones because im a wire lover like you guys #but my laptops fucked up too so it wont register the headphone jack #until i restart it. then if i unplug them and plug them back in they just wont connect. #so instead of restarting like 4 times a day its just easier to use the airpods #anyway. i hate you modern technology #old man yells at cloud
