That isn’t the problem.
I don’t like to say imprecise stuff. I don’t use the net on my work computer at all.

I can’t explain it well. But I don’t plan to put up with it and have my home filled with this worthless trash that ruins anything worthwhile and rare in any category or context. And the humans forcing it are the worst people anywhere.

People far brighter than I am can only allude to it. It is not that I think the tech itself is so sophisticated one couldn’t. But if one gets it wrong it is easy to reinforce the bullshit that only paranoid Luddites are complaining:
