I am always protesting so many things I have to go with some things that are convenient as I hate spending more than the minimum amount of time I need to on the kinds of tech (computers and phones) I have minimal interest in.

I am stuck with Windows and the IOS and WhatsApp .
I have disabled as much ai as I can. Those fuckers all better read the writing on various walls

I wish I could use tech built by companies whose CEOs I don’t hate as much as I hate Satya Nadella of Microsoft and Sundar Pichai of Google. They must have the rare employees who hate them as much as I do and are more like Hemant Kappanna than like the average cultist:

I go through life identifying the rare person here or there who will stand the test of time in the ongoing endless crisis which won’t really end in my lifetime or at least I will never again be at peace truly.

Kappanna is also probably a decent guy in every area. I think it is pretty rare to be decent in one area, but sketchy in others.
Tech needs Kappannas - the real deal unlike various grifters like Wynn Williams and Frances Haugen who grift one way first and the other way next. I love Yasha Levine that way. He is my favorite tech critic curmudgeon and another person you can rely on like DU’s EarlG/elad, Christopher Ketcham, Ed Zitron etc.

I am a shrill (that is an Atrios reference) MeToo supporter and Epstein humpers like that ass Chomsky (whom I never liked) make these clunkier men so paranoid with trash like “MeToo hysteria” even on the left that it is a strain..As far as I can tell, as a society we police language, jokes and expression to the point where people lose their compass about serious ott misogyny and silently passes are given to these super creepy men like V.S.Ramachandran and similar types whose attitudes towards women are on flagrant display.

These are paranoid times and one has to be sure, especially generally unpopular women like me, that there are no ties in one’s life or even public figures or groups one supports that won’t withstand the test of time outside routine contexts.
