I used to be excited about new tech and new gadgets.

@Em0nM4stodon @gentlegardener Absolute same. I don’t even want any new tech anymore because all it is now is more surveillance or more subscriptions.

@Em0nM4stodon Aye.

I used to be excited about getting a new car, but the same applies to cars these days. Which is why I'm still driving my 2001 PT Cruiser

I bought my car almost 10 years ago and does not have any AI and I removed the satellite/cellular telemetry. Zero unscheduled maintenance. It may last longer than I do.

@Em0nM4stodon I'm worried about old tech *also* becoming infested with AI too unfortunately. It seems like a lot of software or products that I had trusted to be a little better have given in.
* BeagleBoard
* OnlyOffice
* DuckDuckGo
* Startpage
* Gitlab
* Mozilla
* Phillips (mostly their razors, which have AI marketing now despite that not making any sense)
* Even fucking Encyclopedia Britannica has a chatbot on their website...WHYAI is indeed splitting communities and projects 🫤
A small note: noai.duckduckgo.com is the official frontend from DDG without AI. -
@Em0nM4stodon
skepticism has been my most trained skill in the last years… -
@Em0nM4stodon even the verge, a gadget magazine, written to hype tech, is fed up with AI stuff.

We buy second hand whenever possible:
Originally for sustainability reasons but more and morealso to avoid surveillance and AI.

@dianea @thezenlady @Em0nM4stodon I'm sticking to my pre-2000 cars. Easy to repair by the mechanic in the nearest village. Also, their ashtrays are much larger than in modern cars.

@stopthatgirl7@famichiki.jp @Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange @gentlegardener@mastodon.scot I'm going backward using more and more old tech..
