The "But Why?" of Digital Sovereignty

Every time I spend my weekend researching obscure forks and implementing complex local workflows, someone asks: "But why? The mainstream tools are so much easier."

In 2026, the path of deep research and practical implementation feels exactly like this. It might look like madness to the "colony," but I’d rather head for the mountains than stay in the comfortable enclosure of Big Tech.

What was your latest "But why?" rabbit hole?

Ein einsamer Pinguin wandert gerade durch Social Media. 🐧 Aber sind wir nicht gemeinsam stärker?

Die Gemeinschaft verbindet und ist ein ein wichtiges Element des Glaubens. 🤝 Wir feiern zusammen, suchen, helfen und hoffen als Gemeinschaft.

Neulich haben wir noch über die verlorenen Schafe aus Burgsinn gesprochen, jetzt über den einsamen Pinguin. Unser Fazit: Zur Gemeinschaft gehört ihr alle! 🤗 (chd)

After digging a while, ignoring all the suggestions referring me to the chatbot, I do find some more info. Turns out you need to contact their support to learn how much an extra seat for the instrument would cost. I try contacting their support, and turns out their chat support is just the chatbot again. It recommended me to contact the airline's support to get the info I need... 😑

Man har valgt en megolomanisk voksenbaby til præsident og givet ham sin egen hær og nu er man forfærdet over han går i krig med sit eget land? Desuden mener jeg zionisme bør udryddes. #butwhy

Just watched an AI-generated ad where the actors blinked out of sync, the pizza had 9 fingers, and the slogan was “Life Your Fullest Live.”

Anyway, can’t wait for this to replace all human creativity by Q3 🙃 #AI #Progress #ButWhy 🍕🤖
