I am but a cog in a machine. A lazy one though.

  • Hard agree!

    but please consider not doing safety and security related stuff without properly researching first and probably should not deal with such things if you are uncertain and can’t find anyone with expertise to help you out. Anything from blowing up shit in your own backyard to creating an online application that deals with user data

    Edit: not saying don’t ever do those things, everyone has the right to learn things, but so many fingers have been lost and so much personal data has been leaked due to not stopping for a moment to think in the heat of passion and excitement (or frustration).






  • I feel so hopeless, so pissed, all these news and how these corporations are destroying open web. I really had hope with new generations being more tech savvy and more online would push for openness of web, instead I’ve come to realize that new generations are really into apps and not going beyond that, not interested in deeper look into software and tech - as long as the gadget works and no matter any subscription cost or microtransactions or surveillance.

    I try to be hopeful, but damn it is hard to stay optimistic. I’ve been trying little by little to push friends and family in a nice way into using Firefox, alternatives to big corporate software and so on, but I understand it takes too much effort for someone who is not really interested in these things. But I will be advocate of open web forever myself.

    Edit: okay unfair to expect anything from new generations, and of course there are more tech savvy people than there probably use to be, but had hoped for a huge change in that demographic.
