I am fucking scared of the mass surveilence nightmare direction that the internet and the world as a whole is going towards… C2PA, france hacking itself into citizen phones, the UK anti encryption law, EU’s chat control, etc. Im also sick of and hate the “you will own nothing and be happy” mentality that corpos try to push. I dont wanna know how the world will look like in 5-10 years.

    This is the rub though - so many people think that there is a giant conspiracy to make tech conform to some nefarious capitalism endgame, but in a lot of cases, this shit is legitimately just consumer preference.

    Don’t get me wrong, there is plenty of kleptocratic fuckery afoot as well, but there are also plenty of examples of consumers wanting something that actual experts think is dumb or unsafe.
