There's been a slight uptick in the discovery of my kind of gemlog article.
But, gosh dang, when you arrive too late to a word party:
2023-09-17 - Kvetching - Tech - The Machine Stops
Specifically:
So should I just finally dump it completely? I don’t even get the endorphin high extroverted allistics do from the crowd, the mob mentality. I’ve told myself I keep it for talking with techies. Decent folk with the discipline to use infotech intelligently. Which is true, and this cohort can be helpful. A self selected bunch worth knowing if one has the interest, which I do. Utilitarian cordiality. Fair enough. But the ticket price is just too bloody high. And I don’t have the budget anymore.
In this moment online seems NPC word collision. I've often wished it could be more. But that wishing was devoid of understanding much about so-called selfhood. And of course I'll forget that understanding somewhere along the line and be back online hoping for it to be so much more This Time. And then the familiar first creeping, then accelerating disillusionment.
Today looks to be a nose to the grindstone affair.
