I just recently took a new job (actually I start next week) and I'll be doing web dev work. Was an embedded developer for nearly two decades, a console user and hated just about every social media beyond the old dial up BBS I used to frequent as a child. Its such a weird feeling where my day job is working in a tech that I never really wanted to exist.

To be fair, the new job is not some garbage SaaS product no one really needs, I'll be working on the web services, client portal and mobile presence for a local hospital system. But still the god awful amount of javascript I'll be writing...

We're only 15 years out from the first iPhone. Jobs has only been dead for 11 years.

The reduction of everything to a concern of profit is a terrible burden for humankind.

Welcome!

things kind of suck in the greater www

Yes, they do, but fortunately there are still pockets of resistance here and there (the small web, the fediverse, rss feeds, etc).

And Gemini offers another space, a different space with a different purpose. Enjoy your stay!
