Negative thoughts flooded my mind. The EU is constantly trying to push Chat Control. They’re blocking bootloaders on phones, introducing ID and face scanning everywhere, in the US they’re trying to push system-level verification, corporations are spitting in our faces and don’t even hide it. I know we have to fight. My personal rebellion was joining Fediverse and Lemmy and quitting Reddit. But seriously, boss—I’m tired. Are our attempts to preserve internet freedom futile? Can we win against corporations and politicians who we pay but don’t listen to us?
all long after you die; i wish i could take pleasure from knowing that people that i have zero relation to will get to enjoy this reality.
Oh ye of little faith
pretty much and it makes me wish that i had started with the whole pessimism-of-the-intellect-optimism-of-the-will perspective first.
