@Asnabel on the one hand, to a first approximation no humans have much choice about engaging with software, so i'd say no it's more like i'm trapped in a matrix of evil by forces vastly beyond my control.

on the other hand, it's actually much worse than that: i work on software _for making software_ for a living, so really i'm deeply entangled in the operating machinery of said matrix and too constrained by my own past choices and fundamental cowardice to extricate myself in any meaningful way.
