    If tech is going to be usurped entirely, then reject it. I’ve started doing everything I can by mail and physical presence. Don’t buy the hype that you NEED tech. If your friends won’t let you change how you get in touch with them, then they’re not that good of friends and you don’t really need them.

    If all of my stacked 15 year old computers here stop being able to access Lemmy? Oh well. It’s been fun.

    This is a war. They are winning because we are willing to have a point where we say, “Well, this is the limit… I have to capitulate now.” They rub their hands together gleefully waiting for you to cave.

    Don’t. Be stubborn. Because if we don’t it’s already over. Legislators and underfunded foundations are not going to save us.

      Yeah I’d rather no computer or no internet at all than to accept the cloud. I’ll find other hobbies and entertainment.
