As a homelabber, this makes me sad. Perhaps enshittification will push people back into home/local computing.
homelabbing isnt even my gripe with it. its not ever interacting with computers on your own terms, only on theirs. smartphones are a black box.
i see ads, artificial annoyances, and human right violations by technology increasing in lockstep with the reduction of our collective control over computing.
I agree. I'm also very sad when I see small kids watching YouTube videos on tablets; that's pretty much all they do.
Where's the fun of tinkering? Trying to build things? Trying fixing problems, such as formatting?
Kids don't even have the concept of files and folders. We're raising a generation of digital slaves.
Honestly I don't think that's tru. There were very few kids who truly tinkered with their computers in the old days too - first because not many kids had computers in the first place, and then because computers started being useful without any tinkering. There are still a lot of youths (12-16) today who are flashing LineageOS on their phone or installing Linux on their Chromebook, or whatever. I know because they keep flooding the NixOS Telegram chat that I'm managing - and I try to welcome them with open arms!
