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.

It feels a bit salty to complain about turnstiles in the age of flock camera's, but they all suck.
@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

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...?

Example:
Yikes that is hostile enough to discourage people from using tge Metro! Even in Germany we do not have barriers! People are trusted to purchase tickets, and dined if you don't, or purchase the wrong ticket!
