ARM Turned Us Into Cattle

Look man, we just have to face facts that while ARM might be good in theory it's been twisted/abused by corporations to turn us into cattle. Remember myspace? It was like people were going to start writing programs that you could run on web browsers without a fucking bullshit "app store". Vectorized animations (is flash) started becoming a huge thing! Then ARM everything showed up...

A screenshot of an anonymous imageboard post criticizing how ARM technology was adopted and controlled by corporations. The poster nostalgically recalls Myspace and browser-based Flash programs, then jokes that the rise of ARM devices completed the transformation of users into “cattle.” It is used as an absurdly dramatic reaction to technological change and corporate control.
