Computers are good, actually

For-profit tech corporations though...

I love computing

I love to compute on the computer

I hate the companies that have made computing on the computer miserable as they try to squeeze us all through their product lifecycles

@cwebber I try to have this conversation with non-techie friends sometimes. They'll complain about the internet. And I try to redirect. You don't hate the internet. The internet gives you wikipedia and constant connection with friends and family. You hate that most of your internet usage is mediated through platforms designed to keep your attention and sanitize your communication for advertisers.
