    I no longer understand computers, what they’re for, how they work, or what people do with them.

    I want to live in a cabin far away from people with a Commodore 64 and a CB radio.

      They are broadly the same as earlier computers.

      We can use them to do certain things faster that would take horribly long by band otherwise or may not even be doable.

      I know it sounds like i’m taking the piss, but i’m not. We need to start reframing things back into simple terms. Remember why we want these things, use them for what they’re good at, make sure those capacities are built with people in mind (Free and open source can help).

        I’m starting to find the “use cases” for computers to be indistinguishable from mental illness.
