   @potato_lisper@nixnet.social I personally don't even like the term "consumer" in this context. The term "consumer" is usually used for goods that last temporary and have no value after they've been fully "consumed". Using the term consumer for computer user forwards a way of thinking about tech I do not like.
   
   I'm a user, the device you make should help me do the things I wanna do and only listen to me.
   
   I will pay you for manufacturing the device in exchange. I do not owe you anything past this point of sale, be it my personal data or you having a say in how I get to use my device.

     @potato_lisper@nixnet.social I don't feel like I am going backwards technology. Technology itself is going backwards by removing I/O options, making devices less repairable and more locked down than ever.

     I'm starting to feel like I'm going backwards with technology. I dropped bluetooth headphones for wired one, using 11 or more years old ThinkPad x230 as daily driver. I'm thinking about going back to paying with paper money and to older phone, because I can install lineageos on it.
     
     The reason for all of that is surveillance capitalism. It kills any nice technology that was developed or implemented in last ten years.
