    Cars shouldn’t be loaded with user-facing technology. Bring back analog dashboards and buttons for climate control!

      Bring back stick-shift, too. People shouldn’t be driving if they have no grasp of the mass and inertia of their car. We should be able to disengage the engine at will. And we should have to pay attention when we drive.

        Interesting fact: I just got a new ev (so a battery hooked up to a computer with wheels) - and it has buttons! It also has dials for sound and climate.

        Now to be fair it also takes interacting with a touchscreen to turn on the heated seats, but I’d say it’s progress in the right direction.

    I’m not subscribing to anything. If I buy something, it’s fully functional, and it’s mine. There is no ongoing relationship between me and the manufacturer. Done.

    Music in restaurants and bars is just too loud. I know why the music is loud, but I am still going to shake my fist at it like Grandpa Simpson.

    I don’t want to have a subscription for everything. It used to be possible to pay a one-time fee for software and use it as long as I want. Now I have to pay a monthly fee and once I finish paying, I can’t use the software anymore. And it’s not like I constantly get updates for the software. Often it stays the same for months or years.

    I understand that software has a price, but no way these prices are sometimes justified…

    Smart tech in general is annoying and dumb. I want my TV to just be a tv with inputs, I don’t need built in firmware and updates to shove ads in my face. I don’t want my car to have a touch screen to adjust the A/C, just give me a knob or buttons.

    Algorithms that try to suggest me content are universally bad, and all searches should provide results based solely on the terms, syntax, and language entered. Same with anything that tries to provide me content based on data harvested about my location or demographic.

      I like that Lemmy and Masto don’t have those fucking algorithms. It’s a relief.

        What is your opinion on Bluesky? Their default feed is chronological, but they do have algorithms. They’re actually moving towards custom algorithms, so you can build your own or use someone else’s, delete, pin, reorder them. It’s like different feeds. I like that implementation personally.

        Many of the younger generations seem to accept that things don’t last/break easily. I come from a time where there was a wiring diagram for the TV pasted on the inside back cover. Washing machines and other devices often had the schematics included. Repairing your stuff and keeping it running was the norm back then. Even if you couldn’t, you probably had a neighbour who could. Planned obsolescence is a relatively new thing.

    Basically any opinion of the modern Internet I give.

    I’m a certified computer expert, but I sound like a Luddite when it comes to anything mainstream.

    I don’t think this is a boomer opinion but I got called a boomer for it once so maybe it is idk:

    I think online dating is shit and I don’t mean it in a “It doesn’t work for me” kinda way but I believe it’s objectively shit. In an ever faster world that demands more and more flexibility from people that also extends to dating. It introduces a certain arbitrariness to romantic and sexual relationships. We now have dating apps that you can use to scroll through potential partners like a furniture catalog. It reduces people to a commodity and I hate being confronted with that. I believe it could in combination with the realities of late stage combination harm our ability to establish deep and meaningful connections to people.

    It’s literally what my mom warned me off 20 years ago and now I believe she was right.
