There has to be a resistance. Basically all of us who know our way around a computer, we simply quit helping the rest and bam Microsoft is history. And I think that's happening now. I'm simply not going to push that shit into my kid's life. I have a simple mind and I'm simple minded. Here I am typing on a little rectangle of glass and plastic with one finger. I'm writing more than a few words a day to many strangers. There's no need for 15gig or you pay google powered AI one drive shit. You know that. Me, I would like to own my works of art. Wether it's this very response or a photo. I want to know where in my computer the thing is stored and I would like for Microsoft to not have access to it. It's a privacy issue. All the big companies are going to hit the privacy wall soon. Besides their shitty software, they will be hit by legal battles. If they win, we all loose. If they loose, then maybe, just maybe our kids will grow up with computing options that are there to help them and not to take advantage of their labor. Man, I'm willing to stand up in front of a PTA meeting and say this. I'm just tired of these tech corporations running loose and taking away our future. That's all.
