It is just incomprehensible to me how I am asked to upgrade to a the next “tier” for something as simple as a data model shape. I’m not kidding when I say this is something you could easily create in something like paint (and/or apply the techniques from these ubiquitous LLM slop machines into an effective use case. Instead, you get priced at increasing 5 dollar intervals so you can now place an attribute with more lines.
I’m really trying to accept this shit, I really am, but it just becomes even more absurd the more I look into it. Doesn’t seem ridiculous to claim that a majority of the value we get from technology is predicated on people’s ignorance, and it’s kind of hard not to see at this point. But that’s ignorance that you and I have to deal with every day for the rest of our lives, especially as things become increasingly digital. The ominous nature of this shit continues to show signs at every corner, yet everyone in my life is still using it without a critical thought. I have many of those if you couldn’t tell.
I truly just want to take all of this shit I’ve learned about capitalism and tech and turn it all off.

Collective ownership of the means of computing is the only true way forward. Modern Computer “Science” isnt real, it was and still is a process of dispossession and privatization of technologies/processes to generate revenue for the very few and has primarily been done by the imperial core.
Imagine if you wanted to calculate a derivative but you had to sign a NDA to do so. Or if you wanted to organize your calendar you’d have to give a white man all of your photo albums.
People aren’t “tech-phonic” they are just responding naturally to a system designed to seek rent at every turn.
Silicon Valley is a group of landlords controlling basic utilities people need in order to live.
