I used to like computers a lot. Like, a lot a lot!

Then I moved to SF and got a first-hand look at how capital distorts benefit production and distribution towards authoritarianism.

And so much of computers is tied up in the capital cycle and authoritarianism.

It's just deeply deeply disappointing, and makes it hard to find what joy I used to have at computation and the digital world.

Edit: This was prompted by authoritarian-stack.info/
