Techcist

When software assumes you want, or typically forces you into, maximum bells and whistles upon first install/upgrade and potentially even restricts you from shutting down said options/bloatware that it has acquired over years of unnecessary releases that add junk instead of real value.

The act of trying to force a software user to conform to the developer's ways of imagining the software should be used.

Have you seen the latest popular chat program I was just forced to upgrade? Now it's wanting me to also sign in to my Twitter & Face Book accounts every time I start it. And it's trying to run full screen? This thing is so techcist now!

Techista

Someone who has to have the latest and greatest technology; especially someone who shows off the newest features of how the gadget is better than others.

Kevin was being such a techista earlier, he brought home that new iPad and wouldn’t shut up about it!

techsist

Prejudice or discrimination on the basis of a person's technical ability. Assuming that the least tech savvy person must be at fault for the technical difficulty encountered.

Just because I don't hand-code HTML doesn't mean I can't vote you techsist pig!

Turns out it was a kernel panic, grandma. That was techsist of me to assume you broke it with your oldness.

Techxistential

techcastrophe

Singular unpredictable random events that inflict devastating consequences of life, liberty or property beyond the occurrence itself that were directly enabled by a technology, not of the off-the-shelf variety and not immediately obvious to the human consciousness, which taken in totality can be seen as deliberate scattered plots invoking conspiracy driven by counter narratives distributed by media outlets to the obfuscation of all but the undeniable common denominator - technology beyond the publics' access.

The number of adverse events while increasingly devastating and seemingly unconnected and each random are not just common nor ordinary tragedies but a very real emerging techcastrophe to society as a whole. Take the Charlie Kirk killing whose death appears to be have been remotely detonated mic that Charlie wore on his shirt. Very much a repeat use of the RF radio triggered bombs that Israeli Zionists used to kill and crippled more than a thousand Hamas politcal enemies. Not to forget the airborne plane that fell out of the sky carrying a Putin operative - turned antagonist by remote detonation. Nor Sars-CoV2 global deaths from a virus that to this day has never been found in nature. 9/11 devastating deaths were wrought by commandeered technology but by whom remains undeterminable. Technology, high tech, is the new mass weapon devastating, untraceable and definitive in outcome. MH-370 is the penultimate example to date.
