My aggravation at the people who run big tech companies makes me more interested in hacking than ceding tech to them.
I think stepping back from a lot of specific tools is appropriate. I'm trying to de-Google, and I've left a lot of platforms. I also appreciate unnetworked things like physical media, and music and e-books on non-networked devices.
But leaving tech overall isn't appealing to me. I just recently started getting into mesh radio, for instance. It's dope stuff.
The current wave of doomerism, which I share, is from watching them make unashamed moves to seize the means of computation from us.
You can’t hack anything if you can’t get any information on how it works, any tools to disassemble it, any devices to interface with it. They stopped printing books on these subjects, and soon the whole internet will be LLM agents that can edit the responses of. We’ll all float around in our hoverpods with our 8GB tablets like the motherfuckers in Wal-E
What really fucks me up is how enterprise has their heads burried in the sand to all this. They really think it’s a good idea to put all their little secrets in the cloud. Microsoft is going to predict every move the market makes someday…
