It’s hard to talk to people about this. Nobody seems to understand it. Kind of reminds me 10 or so years ago when the “I have nothing to hide” team ignored me as I warned about Internet privacy and the impact on swaying opinions and controlling experiences. This threat level is way higher.

The tech is so opressive. My ipod is my favorite toy because I can listen to music and it doesn’t track me and sell my info.

It’s sensitivity to rejection that I think comes from being punished way more than normal kids due to “bad behavior.” You’d think after you beat a kid 100 times and it doesn’t work that maybe there might be another avenue they could consider. Now they want to say ADHD kids are overdiagnosed, and those excessive punishments will probably start happening like it did in the 1980s before people knew what ADHD was.

Me too.

What’s more terrifying about robots that learn at light speed? …ones that learn from idiots on Facebook.

Why does everyone dislike snap? I just didn’t want to use Canonical products, but I was unaware that others didn’t like it.

I’m trying to figure out a text only option for searching the web. I thought there was a way to do this with dmenu, but I can’t figure it out. I tried a lynx/dmenu setup and it didn’t get past the main lynx page. Is there a way to use Searxng to search with no html and just text. I’m seriously tired of trackers and am trying to degoogle, use fediverse options, etc.
