    I enjoyed looking at this on my small screen while listening to something playing on my big screen.

    Yes, because doing accounting on paper is the same as reading a book. And listening to your boss is the same as listening to your friends.

      And rope bondage play with the wife is the same as tying down loads of sheet metal on the back of delivery truck.

      What?

        I knew I should’ve talked to HR when I was told to “load her up” by my boss!

    As a psychiatric nurse, during my work day I watch my screen for about 1 out of 8 hours. When I come home I like to spend some time behind the screen. I sometimes wonder if it is necessary that so many people work behind screens. Shouldn’t we get more people to work as nurses, teachers but also craftsman, handyman, etc. This may sound as a naive and romantic thought, and I’m sure a lot of the work behind screens is extremely useful and efficient. But still I wonder if we haven’t somehow lost focus of what’s important. Like we’ve started to think that we can solve everything behind the computer, while simultaneously things are falling apart, people are lonely and people in need don’t get help.

    Maybe the screen itself isn’t the point then?

    Did people who had to write things for a living ever enjoy books when they got home?

    When I was younger I loved tech and everything related to computers. Now I am nearly 30, and I hate tech more each day. Not only it’s a waste of time, it becomes worse and less user friendly every year, full of nonsensical problems, AI bullshit and overall less control of our devices.

    I need to finally buy a fucking bicycle, and spend some more time outdoors, or I will get crazy.

      Just don’t make the mistake I’ve did at buying an electric bicycle. The controllers for the engines are mostly proprietary barely sewn together noname pieces of garbage, that you’d need some bullshit adapters and obscure software to flash settings in.

      Also don’t dig yourself too deep into cycling. There are good quality bicycles at a cost of a motorcycle or even a used car, and then there’s aliexpress specials made of whatever was lying around, but there are very few in-between options. I’d suggest just getting the latter and throwing it out when it breaks or you get bored.

      I’m older than you but otherwise the same. Seems like everything is going in the wrong direction thanks to corpos trying to wring as much money as possible out of it rather than making it as useful to people as possible.

      I still love tech but only because I realize that it can actually empower us. The dark patterns that corporations use (for me personally and especially when it comes to customer service) are what ruin it, but maybe I’m still naïve.

      Buy 3 bicycles! 1st an electric commuter/cargo bike so you can run errands without a car. 2nd a road/hybrid bike for fun and exercise on paved paths. 3rd a mountain bike so you can enjoy more nature. (an eMTB if they’re allowed on your local trails can combine all 3 bikes if you want)

      I feel you. And I work in tech (maybe you do too, idk). Point is, I’d need a bicycle AND a career change…
