"Technology is neutral," you say?
Counterexample: Ageless Linux.
It shines a glaring spotlight on other OSs and their acceptance of bad age verification law, enacted under a pretense of child safety. In fact, these laws normalize privacy-violation and consolidate power in corporate entities without protecting children.
Other OSs comply, but Ageless Linux is a brilliant example of the potential for civil disobedience via technology.

I have once again been slapped down by git lfs.
I had gotten complacent and thought myself pretty comfortable using git, so I guess I was overdue for a reminder.
I saw a headline (I think it was YouTube) the other day that was like "I made 50 apps in 50 days using AI".
I thought to myself "That's great, but I bet they're all shit. Well done on wasting 50 days..."
