-----------------------------------------
The actual problem is twofold. First, most people are using proprietary dumpster fires designed and managed by big tech, whose incentives are to exploit their users rather than to serve them. **Of course** using that shit is going to suck the life out of anyone.
Second, most people actually are functionally retarded. So asking them to understand basic concepts that would make their day to day life easier is simply too great a task. It is not possible to educate normies. Let them suffer.
>The other issue is that most people are stupid, even technologists.
Especially technologists. I've arrived at the conclusion that the number of people who actually meaningfully understand digital technology is a pathetically tiny population. And, of that population, too many of them accept paychecks from the devil.
One aspect not often considered is how so much modern software is written within frameworks within frameworks. Nobody strictly writes their own code any more. It's all imported libraries. On the web its CDNs with web frameworks.
This translates to very slow programs that must interact through layer upon layer of abstraction, where the people who wrote it couldn't even tell you most of what's going on. If software where written in such a way for a vintage Pentium 4 device, it would also run slow as shit.
There is also the shift to interpreted languages. Again, the web leads in this. And I understand that interpreted languages enable more rapid development, but the end result is unavoidably less efficient.
So today we have such things as "desktop apps" which are actually just electron applications (pre-packaged websites) running shit interpreted code within a Matryoshka doll of nested frameworks reaching out over the internet for half or more of its functionality, running on CPUs whose dies are some double-digit percentage of die space dedicated to doing something other than executing instructions originating from userspace programs.
Each new generation of Intel chips makes it hard for solutions like me_cleaner to eliminate ME binaries. Effectively, even when you "fix" Intel chips, there is still some % of ME backdoor active.
AMD is even worse. Board vendors can expose options in EFI to "disable" the (((platform security processor))) but, being a non-verifiable proprietary black box, is impossible to determine what this option even does (or if it does anything at all and isn't just a placebo switch).
ARM is fucked too with ARM (((TrustZone))) for which there aren't even any attempts to mitigate that I'm aware of.

Ah, yes, customers were "seeking minimal contact" when the human registers were completely closed and all clientele were directed specifically to the only remaining option being self-checkout. But sure, people were "seeking minimal contact". Okay.

That kind of post is all very normal over on the fediverse. It's been overrun with redditard lefties.

Each new version of Windows **normalizes** ever greater erosion of ownership, privacy and agency that users once enjoyed.
And everyone treats the prior version of Windows as though it had been some kind of bastion of freedom, privacy and ownership.
Only total newbies and normies are unaware that this is all cyclical, and the real solution is to just avoid Windows entirely.

Sadly, it is not fixable.
