it's trendy to hate computers, hate software, hate the internet, and think they're making our world worse.this is a stupid, stupid, naive, fad-chasing take. our world is better than it has ever been, and computers are largely responsible.

@sneak How many friends do you have IRL? How many would you have if you didn't use the internet as frequently as you do?

facebook outrage mobs lynch a few dozen people because people claim the site isn't sufficiently censored. meanwhile, computer-aided disease research prevents millions of deaths. woke twitterati declare computers the cause of the world's downfall!

@Hyolobrika lots and none respectively. all of the great people in my life came as a direct result of using the internet and software.

@sneak I have either one friend IRL who hasn't returned my calls for a while.The thing with making friends online is distance and they tend to be cagey about revealing their real world identity.

@sneak@s.sneak.berlin i see your point but most of the time a slightly more boring, equivalent analog solution is much better than the networked, "smart" solutionmaybe the tagline should be "please use computers responsibly" :)

@sneak i think its naive to say that "computers" are good because they do and did good. Thats undifferentiated.

@Hyolobrika that's only true in the kind of weirdo communities that use fringe tools. if you go on facebook groups for your local city you can meet tons of people who aren't far and all use their real name

@Hyolobrika "i don't use facebook except for messenger" is a weird way of spelling "i'm a facebook user"

@sneak good luck with running your mac offline then. What you are saying is that critizising technology is stupid and naive because it did good things elsewhere. And I am just surprised by that because you are yourself criticizing a lot. (And I think criticizing is the only way to find balance). But be it, lets disagree.

@claus i figured out how to do it with marcan's advice, btw. you have to set the boot security mode to like medium/slightly reduced, so it will accept any previously signed OS version, not just "latest" (which requires an online signature that's a certain amount of recent)
