  • Makes sense. In this analogy as well as irl the platform is missing, I think. Youtube / Google wants to make money as well as news media so both let it happen willingly or push it even further. I think journalists should be better than this. Before the Internet no one (or at least no one beyond a very local level) did care about the maniac yapping some random nonsense at the town square. Now those maniacs are news all around the globe. I’m not even from NA but there’s so many news (and I might be biased because I often scroll through c/all) about US politics. Not that it would be much better here. People should really know when not to adapt something from the US.

    Ofc I can only go by this short description but I’d do it. In my former job I ended up with depression and it took me 1,5 years for recover. I didn’t want to do 1st / 2nd lvl support any more but found a place in another city that I liked and it had the opportunity to opt-out of the support work or keep it to a minimum, once you’re skilled enough to do other work.

    Now work doesn’t get less but instead more, colleagues are - on a social level - find and I even made some friends, but they’re so hard to work with. I just came back from a week off because I was sick and after 10 minutes reading my emails and teams chat I’d rather turn the computer back off and go back to bed.

    I don’t hat the tech. Hell, I even tinker with it in my free time, made the switch from windows to Linux even though I’m a gamer. I got pihole and home assistant running and I’m planning on a home server / NAS for Jellyfin and other stuff. I like this things… but people man… they drive me literally crazy.

    But since I can’t do anything else and I need the money to pay rent and buy food I can’t just start another, badly payed, apprenticeship. I’m feeling stuck in a job that I despise because of the people in and around it. So if you have the change go get away from it and use the computer stuff as a nice hobby, do it.
