Yes, add to the third panel ordering food by phone call, going to the store when you want every small thing, buying your groceries in person, stopping taxis on the street, no file sharing, etc., etc.
Those are terribly inconvenient things IMO. We shouldn’t become Amish to reject tech bros, because tech makes life easier. There’s enough talent to make these same services in a non-exploitable way, but the incentives are misaligned with the common good.
That’s why I love the Fediverse, proof that tech can be used without tech bros.
Those things can feasibly be better. I pay the delivery human with anonymous cash once I’ve got my order. The store has my stuff ready to go right now. The taxi is right here and they’re unionized.
Can’t dispute file sharing though, analog copies suck.

I can’t tell if you think those are terrible things or not.
Because that’s how most people live their lives even today.

Talking on the phone, actually buying everything you need when you go shopping, interacting with a cashier…
It says a lot about you that you think these are terrible things, rather than things people do every day and don’t think much about.
Would you care to complete your statement? What exactly does it say about me?
