I had unsolvable captcha for Github once. Fuck ne, I guess. I just wanted to contribute something, but whatever.

Step by step they will force us all to either use approved devices or be locked out of big parts of the internet.

To quote a song about a “Fairytale of Doom”:

Blinded by gold and blinded by diamonds
I let you chain me in silk
You told me lies, I drowned in your eyes
And in all those castles you built

Silver the treasure and gold in the cages
Nothing was quite as it seemed
And when I realized, you turned the key and
I saw your eyes full of greed
It was too late when I screamed

I try to stay optimistic that this won’t be tenable. Giving in to despair makes it harder to muster the will to resist. But I won’t deny it’s getting tougher.
