@ErickaSimone I went through a real rough patch earlier this year, looking around at an industry of science, engineering, and mathematics that I once loved… and just feeling empty.
I then went through a process of just getting everything I used online out of the big tech giants and onto community hosted or self hosted services, bought my media from artists directly, and I’ve actually started to look forward to using computers again. Not too much though, as nobody can afford to replace them.
Not preaching, too many people are locked in to suggest they ‘just change to X’, but for my personal usage I’ve bee feeling almost positive about technology.
