If an employer suggests their employees can side-hustle to make ends meet, we'd recommend you side-hustle all your coworkers together in a room to talk about organizing! 💪

We don't "use" the computer, we negotiate with it to try and make it do the things we want, as the incentives of modern software development no longer align with users user. Our frustration isn't hate - it's outrage, as something was taken from us.
www.wheresyoured.at/what-were-fighting-for/

Yet my — and I'd imagine your — frustration isn't borne of a hatred of technology, or a dislike of the internet, or a lack of appreciation of what it can do, but the sense that all of this was once better, and that these companies have turned impeding our use of the computer into an incredibly profitable business.
So much of the pushback I get in my work — and the pushback l've seen toward others — is that I "hate" technology, when l'd like argue that my profound disgust is borne of a great love of technology, and a deep awareness of the positive effects it's had on my life. I do not turn on my computer every day wanting to be annoyed, and I don't imagine any of you do either. We re not logging onto Whatever social networks we're on because we are ready to be pissed off. If anything, we'd love to be delighted by the people we chose to connect with and the content we consume, and want to simply go about our business without a litany of microaggressions created by growth-desperation and a lack of responsibility toward the user.
