Probably for the same reason that tech hasn't improved anything in a long time.
Tolerable Pizza delivery is ruined. The Internet is a walled wasteland now. Far too much "content" that doesn't need to exist. Everything is an ad.
None of our lives have been improved by software.
- chankstein38 2y agoAmen. I hate technology these days. It feels like the big corps managed to mess it up in the worst ways. Oh, you want to check the weather real quick? Here's an ad first. I'm sick of it. None of it even works properly or does what it's supposed to do half of the time but we're just supposed to eat it all up and pay more and more for it all.
- cmcaleer 2y agoMaybe it’s because I willingly pay for quality content and services that I enjoy like news and YT premium, but I don’t think things are that bad. LLMs mess up but they’re new and still have growing pains. My main IDE is great, Windows sucks but the mythical year of the Linux Desktop feels like it’s kind of here and quite usable, games are (much) worse and more predatory, as are most social media platforms but I just avoid those aspects. Privacy and rights over data isn’t great, but the GDPR is pretty good. Incredible resources like sci-hub have come about. Idk, I felt like this a few years ago but things feel like they’ve got better. I miss the internet of yore just like everyone else (and particularly miss the decentralisation) but a lot is much better.
