I'm all for the #RightToRepair. But I think we also need a #RightToReflash. If I buy a piece of electronics, I should be able to load whatever software I want on it. We don't own the things we buy anymore, and that's wrong. We're being held hostage by device makers.

It is honestly exhausting, and I wonder what a world with heavily limited ads would look like.

Incidentally, the lack of ads is one of the very nice things about self hosting things, and being on fedi.

Many of the ills of today’s internet have a single thing in common: they are built on a system of corporate surveillance.

Secret White House surveillance program that gives cops access to trillions of call records? Oh look. Here's via EFF wrote about that program (Hemisphere) back in 2018: https://www.eff.org/cases/hemisphere
