I should have been angrier about tech when I was 5.
Never too late. the idea that it’s past time only benefits the big tech
We can stop using their services, move to open source, stay with older hardware (so that they don’t get money from us) and promote the few open hardware projects
Exactly what I was thinking. If I were to be angry enough about this when it actually mattered and I could have steered the boat, I was way too young too even see that it was happening.
Not to say I don’t actively pursue and promote OSS all the time, but I feel like the impact is so much more minimal than it could have been.
I dropped out and plan on dropping out further, not rich but I did at least make some money out of this shit system but I am done done, I’ll work but not for these pedophiles
I was just an angry “kid” in 2001, not much you can do when you’re surrounded by irresponsible selfish zombies… Maybe people deserve this. I think we still have at least 20/30 years of “freedom”, maybe a bit more. But our server racks are going to look like Cuban streets… Sad…
Even foss is under attack. Linux (amongst other OS) are being forced to comply with integrating OS-level age verification checks, which means invading privacy and contributing to mass surveillance.
People have been arrested for developing end-to-end encryption too.
Hello! You’ve been visited by the bullshit gnome, I’ve just come to say: Bullshit!
Goodbye!
