I hate the injection of personality into technological instances or common hiccups in modern Internet culture. My heart monitor watch shows me a smiley face while booting up, Github buttons spam "Buy me a coffee!", Reddit says shit like, "Don't panic" when a webpage doesn't load. Shut the fuck up and leave me alone. I am so tired of being surrounded by these pale imitations of reality, like I need to be pacified with pseudo-emotions or meme culture every step of my day.
The expectation of mantaining a virtual persona online that should reflect my "real self" in the form of social media like Facebook and LinkedIn. It seems super exhausting but also like a weird kind of informal social credit system since employers and even strangers you meet will try to vet you using social media and if you don't have any you're sus.
