HP-Newscorp sent chills down my spine. I think the only thing more evil would be adding Nestlé to that.

Can you imagine how ridiculous that story would have sounded 15, maybe even 10 years ago? Went into it thinking it would be way over the top, read along thinking, yeah, I could see that.

Yeah, its really fucking depressing. BUT, the solapunk/diy/foss/fediverse gives me hope that it can be bypassed or fought against. I find myself holding onto older tech and self hosting more and more. I am sure it makes me insufferable but I don’t worry about my stuff disappearing or costing me more to use once I have it.
