THE TECH INDUSTRY IS NOT A WAR, BATTLE, OR ARMS RACE STOP WRITING ABOUT IT THAT WAY YOU LAZY FUCKERS.
thank's goodnight
actually y'know what, maybe they're right. talking about tech and every other facet of late capitalism as a form of violence is probably appropriate.
@tcql Also because the tech industry consists primarily of smart, open-minded people and requires intrinsic motivation and the army is a bastion of dysfunctional people with a hierarchical system based on the threat of punishment and violence.
Doing mandatory military service (instead of civil service) after working in academic security research was the worst choice of my life, as you could probably guess by now ;)
@tcql In 10 years, we’ll be reading articles relating current battles and skirmishes to the tech industry of yore. 🙄
