    OK, but that seems unrelated to the subject. If you’re going to reject any tech project regardless because it’s been spawned by a capitalist system I’m not going to be super interested in your take about the tech, I’m more interested in your take about capitalism. Otherwise we’re stuck hearing the same speech about how bad tech is over and over again when it’s really not about tech.

    To put it another way: get back to me on the tech once you fix capitalism. In the meantime we’re both stuck here and I will continue to exercise some care in separating good developments from bad ones.

      Heres the thing, good technological development is possible under capitalism. Thats called open source software, its the only thing that keeps me exited in technology (advancements like Risc-V). I suppose I should have started with this, I dont trust companies and I especially dont trust proprietary hardware. Yes I understand thats ironic since no hardware is truly open source but I do think that we should focus on hardware that’s as open as possible.

        OK, we should have hardware that is as open as possible. Do I take it that you have a phone without a Risc CPU and a PC with a GPU of some kind in it?

        It’s one thing to have an endgame to strive for, but that doesn’t mean you live like a hermit and dissociate from all technology that is proprietary until an alternative exists.

        Otherwise yeah, the other guy is probably right, you make yourself sound like someone who has decided the anger is the point and will work backwards from there to whatever gives them a chance to shake their fist at clouds online.
