I feel as if technology has stagnated, all that are left are grifts or just make everything terrible, like AI. I was thinking Zoom calls maybe? The tech has definitely improved since Skype.

Adblock

Adblockers have been around at least since the 00s, if not earlier. It's a cat-and-mouse game between ads and adblockers, and adblockers are losing imo. Stuff like adblockers and noscript are ultimately attempts at debloating webpages which are reactive measures against webpages being ever more bloated.

I might be wrong, but it feels easier to get into Linux now.

This is 100% true. There's a huge difference even between Linux now and Linux 5 years ago.
