It's not a coordinated movement. It's leaderless (for now, and I hope it stays that way) and very diverse. More a set of shared principles and desires that is continuously evolving in many directions. Mistakes are made. Discussed. Typically in person (and sober, alcohol consumption is not "cool" anymore ;) Oh, and saying "I asked ChatGPT" will not go over well :)

They are not anti-technology. They have gaming PCs and quite some of them are picking up software development, 3D printing etc. But they have recognised how mobile devices are sucking up their time, energy and attention span. They also have lost trust in social media and are aware that every move is being analysed. In a world that needs us all to move around with open eyes and ears because we have real world problems to solve. I am learning from them, not the other way round. Good!

You might not notice it in your peer group, when you are not their age, but my daughter showed me that many 20-30yr olds are switching to dumb phones, are cancelling their Facebook/tiktok/twitter accounts and are discovering libraries and printed books. As a conscious decision. Not all of them, but quite a lot and it's growing.

An issue I have with commenting on "AI" these days is that the "pro" side is so wilfully obtuse, disingenuous, and manipulative that it's impossible for me to comment without calling them out as massive fucking assholes and I'm trying my hardest not to do that kind of thing on social media
Like, you dickheads know exactly what you're doing. Stop pretending you're all 'critical' just because you wring your hands occasionally about security issues even as you continue to use these broken systems
Tech bros: we made crypto! It's great. Buy it.
Everybody: No.
Tech bros: we made NFT's. It's great. Buy them.
Everybody: No.
Tech bros: we made artificial intelligence. It's great. Buy it or else. You can't say no.
Everybody: (* guillotine construction noises *)
Something I wrote during some dark times earlier in 2025, and it helped define the way I want to live my life... spreading happiness and light! Hope this makes you smile!
Stephen Hawking: "Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution."

Just celebrating 3 years on Linux!
3 years ago this time I had installed Linux as my daily driver OS on my main home PC after becoming increasingly frustrated with Windows 11 and Microsoft in general.
