The Incels of Computing: The Depressive Defense Mechanisms of Free Software

With all the progress that has been done with liberating the digital space there is a sense of self defeating, depression. A kind of defense mechanism of sorts. As if the people settled for something and gave up trying to do anything else. Which in itself causing lack of morale, lack of vision, and with it lack of actual movement.

@tortoise Imagine spending years to give xomputer users the freedom to use a computer, working for that goal for over a decade, then someone (Linus torvalds) helps you just a bit (creating the Linux kernel), and then most people give the credit to him

In a groundbreaking revelation, Windows users can now *almost* escape Microsoft's surveillance tentacles, but only if you can outsmart a digital cookie 🍪 puzzle made for a toddler. Microsoft: providing the freedom to maybe, sort of, not really do what you want since 1975. 🙃💻
