You've heard of hostile architecture, but what about hostile technology?

It feels a bit salty to complain about turnstiles in the age of flock camera's, but they all suck.
@Gina Imagine getting caught on camera as you wrestle with any one of them 🤪

Example:
@Gina capitalism is hostile technology

@Gina On top of that the train ticket prices are disgustingly high in NL. At least the trains are more reliable than the DB (= Germany) ones
@graves501 @Gina Laughs in UK.

@Gina This type is particularly bad if you are of limited mobility, slow, and/or are carrying anything, even the special wide ones.

@Gina better these than ones with cameras that allow access with face recognition I guess.

@feorag the way they are hella slow and too fast at the same time 🫠

@nschultz well we are cattle after all.

@Gina Luxembourg has it right.

You've heard of hostile architecture, but what about hostile technology?
Example:
@Gina how would it be, if one would just say: "nah, that's disgusting. I don't want these things... We'll just make it free, so we don't need these machines"

@Bene it would probably save money as well.

You've heard of hostile architecture, but what about hostile technology?
Example:
@Gina i usually go from/to stations without these gates (just the check-in poles which while less annoying, i could still rant about if my instance's character limit was higher) so i don't encounter them often.
and i still had an issue one time where only one side of the gate opened, so i had to squeeze into the station. if i wasn't incredibly underweight i wouldn't have been able to enter, while still having paid for the check-in. -

@graves501 now now, DB trains are extremely reliable! you can rely on them to be late

@Gina that’s a turnstile?! Looks more like an international border checkpoint gate

You've heard of hostile architecture, but what about hostile technology?
Example:
@Gina Dutch public transport started to suck so much after I moved to Switzerland and got used to it here. No gates anywhere ever. No checking in or out ever. Such a breath of fresh air.

@Datenegassie I can appreciate you being the "the glass is half-full" kind of person

Example:
@Gina In the event of a movie action sequence, how is anyone supposed to hurdle the barriers to stop the bad people from getting away...?
