the mark of the end times

Alaska pls no, I'm already behind my current quota I can't post more

I also had this fascination, but recently it died down and I can't for the love of me start it back up again. When my wings got clipped the only thing that really keeps me going in all of this is hate.

I'm planning to study either applied physics or electrical engineering and for the latter it's about learning the trade so I can grapple these things better or fix/make my own stuff if need be.

But I also like science more broadly and physics was my best subject, so it's very hard for me to choose. Do you perhaps have some advice?

You don't need professional education to be able to fix your own stuff, will it help? Of course, at least I think so. But remember that you can do anything, with enough time and patience. Myself I also have a fascination with the mechanical, partly because of the "hate" I have towards computers. I would kill to own a Comptometer, but those are nonexistent in Poland. At the same time, this "hatred" sparked love for paper and the physical, nothing beats the feeling of writing with a fountain pen and paper for me. No tablet can surpass this. However regarding what you should choose? I have no clue, just don't think of your career as your whole life. Have hobbies you don't monetize, just for your own self fulfillment, for me it's tinkering with anything mechanical.

Christ that was already 2 years ago?

I know that feeling very well. I know I'm just a twenty something year old, but the Free Software, Right to Repair, and similar crowds got to me at the age of 13. I study IT currently and I hate my college, I hate the people around me, I hate this sector and I "hate" computers. I'm not in it really for the money, nor from the love I have for computing, but from the hate I feel towards how shit everything is. When people ask me why I chose to study IT, that's what I say and I do get looks. I most likely will hate an IT job as well, I haven't even gotten started yet and I'm already tired.

I'm already known by my friends as the one who constantly complains unprompted about how capitalism ruins computers, so keep being that Luddite, hammer into others how really bad things are and that they can be better.

we won't win quickly, but we will

Call me old (I'm not), call me a Luddite (I'm not), I don't care.

Fuck it. Roast me for complaining about this. You know I'm right.

You are both old and a Luddite, and also are correct, sorry. The tech sector has nothing new to offer, so desperate not to drown it latches onto any trend it can trying to make it the next big thing. Or like any old business, does everything to minimize cost and maximize profit. I wouldn't say this rant is pointless, it's good to vent about this stuff.

no actually
