@tomw My 5 cents here is that we don't think the world would be better without computers, but without computers that can be operated using other ways than console commands.

@javipoloxyz @tomw Maybe I'm a know-nothing-normie but GUIs are good and fine actually, the stuff that sucks about tech is like, the manufacturers also collecting data on us and adding features that will be vestigial in two months but marketing or a suit said to include it.

Also printers. Printers suck.

@mdstevens0612 @tomw In fact I'm all-in into GUIs, I mean, I do some UI design for a living 😅 But creating the false and convincing feeling of "easyness" in software products, making them pivotal in our day-to-day needs... Is somewhat worrying. Specially thinking in future generations.

We should all be more aware that this digital world system is COMPLEX AS F**K and much more delicate than it seems. Same as our data, privacy, and all that you're saying.

And printers. Yeah, that too.

@mdstevens0612 @tomw Consoles, obviously, make casual users to run away in fear. And that includes some good vibes now and then 😅
