I've definitely turned into the paranoid nutcase within my friend group in recent years, I hate that everything is "smart" nowadays requiring an app/internet connection & account, just to do basic things that didn't require any of that before.

What's some things currently making you ramble like an old man?

Im still pissed off LAN was removed from every video game and that even single player only games require an internet connection.

ITT: Shit literally everyone is concerned about.

Here's something I wasn't concerned about until 2 minutes ago that actually seems like it's not concerning many others.

Mars is not a stepping stone it's a resource sink that will bankrupt the human spirit and make it harder to get support for true interplanetary work.

edit: heh, this should have been a top level comment.

I'm pissed about the move to 2.5g LAN because that's what current wire infrastructure supports instead of moving to 10g or higher
