One point Kaczynski brought up that's really stayed with me, one echoed by many tech leery/weary writers, is that technology is only initially optional.
I called up a local barber shop a while ago and asked if I could make an appointment. "Online you can." I really hate web forms so I asked if they take walk-ins. "If you sign up online ahead of time." I just want a haircut, why do you need my email address? Why do I need to make an account?
At a job a few years ago they required a security token. I've seen these since the late 90's, so that wasn't a big deal until they told me they weren't issuing fobs, you had to download the app on your phone. I didn't have a smartphone (gave it up a couple years before) so as a team lead I couldn't sign in until someone else logged me into the system.
Sorry, no cash, only cards. Sorry, your card chip isn't working. Sorry we don't take checks. The magnetic strip? lol readers don't use that anymore.
Yeah, we don't take resumes in person. Yes, I know you want to actually talk with someone who could hire you, but we're going to need you to upload your resume and then fill out a poorly made online application then answer a retarded questionnaire. We'll call you after we've run out of imported labor.
Replace the battery on your phone? Are you high? Where would you put the AA's?
Oh, you have some great headphones with a 3.5mm audio jack that you'd like to use with a new phone? That's a shame, here, pay this dongle that won't work. You can always buy another pair of $300 headphones even though yours already work.
I'd love to get drunk and rant about this to a stranger at a bar since I know no one is going to read this. But it's hard to even catch someone's attention there now. Most are barried in their phones, or enchanted by the 10,000 screens showing CNN and niggerball.
Every day my life becomes more and more screen time, not because I want it to, but because there's no other viable options.

@Rudolf_von_Goldenbaum Your kids will act like you. So don't be some psycho.
@freemo @jensorensen Shame the westen is totally cucked on this issue. Words cannot describe my anger on this topic.
@grips I've still been meaning to write a fediverse server in Go. But that idea is on the backburner due to time. :-)
@grips With any programming language you need a project to get to the bottom of what makes a language tick. The problem with parallel processes (and the contexts and channels that come along with it) is that no small project will require this =)
@grips Yeah, I recognized that. I like the whole interfaces and how easy it is to share memory between separate go routines.
It gets a bit iffy once you start working with channels, avoiding deadlocks is the hardest part. But once you are beyond that every thing else is just implementation details.
