2023 Might actually be the year I become a ludite at this rate. Did every tech company just decide this would be the year to make everything shitty?
The luddites were against technology being used to abuse and subjugate workers and drive down wages, so yes I’m absolutely a Luddite.

So, unnecessary, stressing, repetitive, and dangerous work should still be done manually with worse results?
Might as well do it while everyone's anger is focused elsewhere.
Interest rates have motivated corporations to find creative ways to maintain profits. God forbid they just make less money for a while.
