We forgot we could regulate capitalism like we did 100 years go. Let's make taxes great again. Then take that money and pour it into education. If the states really want to control that, fine, that's a compromise that can probably still end up working out in the end.
No one is waiting for them to do the right thing. People are waiting for their "but this affects me!" moments to eat away enough of his support to make moves feasible.
You know what I get super tired of? The fucking fatalism that seems so popular to pop off with in the hopes of a couple little updoots to make oneself feel better about the situation. It isn't helpful. You are allowed, I can't stop y'all, but I am exhausted by it.
By helping eject from those systems. There's lots of cool open source projects based on all sorts of different hardware. And you can self-host some bits and pieces of your digital life if you really feel motivated to.
I don't know if it's much help but I never said it would solve all the things you seem to want it to. There are some alternatives out there for people feeling trapped by big tech, I'm just trying to share a small piece of that.
Ok, but the solution is super easy, low cost, and right in front of you. Pick up a Raspberry Pi if you want to go even cheaper. If you are uncomfortable with electronics, you can still piece together a bunch of cool stuff just using USB as your interface of choice.
Also, 10" mini racks are cool.
Lots of cool stuff happening in tech if you look outside of the big corporations.
It is amazing how mad these two words in the right context can make me. Getting real, real fuckin tired of the assholes getting into power all the time.
