Yes, I try to avoid tech to the extent possible. The joy I find in things is inversely proportional to the amount of tech they involve.

- soulofmischief 2y agoThis website is powered by multiple technologies, shouldn't you also be avoiding it and the web in general? Or do you arbitrarily decide when tech is good or bad based on your habits?
- ProllyInfamous 2y agoIn my arbitrary camp: I don't carry a cell phone, so if your tech requires me to "use the app" (e.g. parking in my mid-sized US town), I just won't pay for parking (instead: use a handicapped placard — which makes parking free — I wouldn't have done this if coins still worked in our parking lot meters).
- soulofmischief 2y agoAs someone with a physical disability, I'd implore you to consider a solution which doesn't perpetuate intra-class warfare on behalf of the wealthy class who imposed these stupid app-based parking rackets.
- ProllyInfamous 2y agoAs someone with a physical disability, it was only "pride" which prevented me from hanging the placard [before app-based-only parking]. I don't occupy designated handicapped parking space, I just use the permit to get free parking (of which I am legally entitled to, handicapped per my US state's rules). >consider a solution which doesn't perpetuate intra-class warfare on behalf of the wealthy class who imposed these stupid [rules] Good advice.
- soulofmischief 2y agoI apologize for assuming you weren't disabled yourself, I misunderstood the tone of your comment to imply that you aren't actually disabled.
- ProllyInfamous 2y agoNo worries — we're on the same side of this ongoing&escalating Class War.
- leobg 2y agoFire is a firm of tech. So is music. Or cooking. I understand that Svelte or the latest Apple gadget doesn’t make your list. But all tech?
- throw_pm23 2y agoSure, the more recent, the more I hate it.
