Bless you....
The main issue is that these smartphones are sold as some kind of revolutionary tool. But they are just computers with GPS trackers. Basically, human trackers. What older people need is a real community. We all need a real community. We need health care. We need housing. We need affordable living. When you're not completely stressed out, dealing with old people is not really that big of a deal. I mean, there are so many redundancies. I'm not surprised that older people have trouble just turning on their TV nowadays. I mean I think it's a cluster fuck. I think TV's nowadays are really just kind of irrelevant, especially for the next generation. But smart this, smart that it's just an opportunity for people to mine data from consumers. These redundancies are a fucking headache and they're everywhere. And supposedly car companies are going to get rid of Android Auto and to start selling your data, listening to you constantly. And when you buy a new car, sometimes it offers free cell service because it has a cell modem inside of it. And so it's basically just a phone that's on in your car 24/7 spying on you. It's frustrating being the guy pulling his hair out freaking out over things. When people look at you they see a tin foil hat man, but you know how it works. And they're just not listening because they don't understand the consequences. we live in the age now, where if you do some digging, there are plenty of horrific stories of this poorly thought out tech that is there to be like the Wizard of Oz, up our asses 24-7, spying on us, and there's no regulation nobody watching out for us either. Its bitches running wild. It's gotta stop. Also, another thing, I guess in Australia, they're trying to do this thing where they limit the usage of social media to certain age groups like kids. They all have all different solutions for this and some of its facial tracking. Anything they can do to shoehorn in something that is invasive, where they're like literally just trying to take your DNA, a Pee sample, and your iris scan. Also it will be poorly stored on some server. So it can be stolen by another corporation who paid that corporation to steal it, so they can sell it to somebody else. And then a gang who steals your identity and all your money when in reality it was just the corporation all along. If people only knew the trans-international security state and how it just justifies its own existence, It's the global fascist order and it has nothing to do with race. It has to do with class and who owns the mechanism that is the Wizard of Oz. Want to know who has the most child porn? The intelligence agencies. It's all a game. They play out this scenario over and over again and it just feeds into their justification of existence. It's like, careful what you wish for. Because eventually, it's just gonna be turned into a bad thing. I lean into the technology thing, but at the same time, I also believe in a reductionist approach. Don't find a need for tech. Allow tech to be the solution with absolutely no fucking subscriptions.
I would eliminate the "features and benefits" by turning off notifications on the home screen.. The phone goes boop then she goes to the messages cause it has a unique sound and check their message. Almost all the other goofy apps, unless it's messaging, I turn off the notifications. For me, the best approach is eliminating variables. But this is all relative to the needs and desires of each unique individual. But I think eliminating variables is the best approach. Unless they get curious about something and ask questions, then you can expand off of the basics.
I'm always like, read the screen. But you know what? Sometimes they can't fucking see the screen. So you gotta get them a bigger screen. They also won't admit that they can't see the screen. So you're going to have to pick up on cues. If you find yourself saying over and over again, you know, read the screen. You see that on the screen? over in the right hand side of the screen. On the screen.
My 70 plus mother uses a fairphone and Linux. Switching cost is a lie. Windows is the virus, apple is the virus and google is a terrorist organization. I taught her not to be intimidated by the threats of big tech and to stop answering her phone.... All the time. Capitalism is predatory in its nature. There is no tech fix for anything other than legislation and holding these big tech companies accountable by chopping off their fucking balls. Also, people are going to have to start, you know, going their own way. Switching cost is a lie. It's an absolute fucking lie. European countries are changing, getting away from big yankkkee tech. Features and benefits More like pull your hair out and headaches, we have to remember, computers are for math and long distance computation.. They are not a tool for the Wizard of Oz. They are not a tool for the self-fulfilling prophecy of the criminal. The feedback loop that just leads to more and more of a police state and the justification for infiltrating all of our lives. But it's hard to talk about computing if you can't talk about imperialism and all the feedback loops and reflexive effects. It's crazy how math, political science, and computer sciences, they can be compartmentalized, but they really intersect.
America supported the Nazis during World War II. It was all just a weaken Russia. And it's never really just one thing. You know, it's multiple things. The control structure feeds into itself many different ways. It's almost as if we live in and like a spider's web. Our sole existence on this planet is to support the control structure and that control structure is worse than fascism. Capitalism in crisis creates the populist movements, especially the "good old days types" To crawl out of their crevices and beat their chest, and basically be guided like a horse by the ruling class in order for us to tear ourselves apart in order for law and order to set in and the new standards to begin.. I mean we are one of the most subservient and cucked societies that's ever existed in human history. This will all become more apparent as the climate changes, and we all become climate refugees.I think liberals are becoming more radical and yet they don't realize that the majority of the real left wing in America has already viewed America as a fascist regime for a long time. Also, some of these liberal movements I think will be co-opted and kind of turned into fascist action. I mean liberals are honestly the number one reason why we have no progress in this country. They occupy the space that should be filled with people that understand the evils of capitalism. But we remember Nancy Pelosi talking about a free market economy, whatever the fuck that means. I mean that bitch is too busy counting her money and getting her hair done. To be more specific, America is an imperialist empire, and fascists are the useful idiots of empire. Yankees live in a vacuum. The libturds are always late to the party. I literally could of had kids. I was on the path and I chose not to because I knew too much. And so that's why I can say things so "negatively" and freely. I see the world as it is, not as I want it to be. My ear has been to the ground for a long time. I've read a lot, listen to a lot. I've seen a lot. There is no war but the class war i can guarantee that. Capitalism is a system of the lowest common denominator. It is reflexive based upon emotion and not needs. We won't solve our problems using this current economic system. Artificial intelligence is scary because it's stupid, not because it's actually capable of being accurate or helpful. And we literally feed into it. Without us, it does nothing. It needs data sets. It needs certain things. One of those things will be water. Just basic public utilities is gonna be shit and way out of reach for most people. There will be more homelessness and they'll just throw them in prison and make them work for free. They'll trick you in to taking out credit that you can't pay because they want to put you in jail. All these things have happened in history. It's just a lazy man's solution to a problem, especially when they just view you as cattle. The people at the top are by far the most cruel and unprincipled disgusting human beings that have ever existed in society. We live in an inversion. A world where evolution is an exponential decay function.
Printers are scams.....the end
Oh my Ford the drahmah
Most charities are just scams. And yeah they might do some good, but charity is a symptom of failure. We are byproduct of our environment.
Ai is a broken search engine that goes beyond what is needed from a search engine. It makes what I am trying to do 10x harder. The western world is cannibalizing itself with AI as a cover. It is over valued as much is in yankeeland. I have yet to be impressed, yet I have come to realize it is a tool of enshitification guided by the wizard of oz. It will bring death on this world not through it accomplishments but through its failures. It is a limp dick, a hollow shell, It is a feedback loop of a bad idea. I have yet to be impressed by "AI"... It is like Pokémon Go. Cute, fun and only a few people are playing it now. It is a buzzword. A shit stain on my bowl from the steak dinner that I ate last week.
