By helping eject from those systems. There's lots of cool open source projects based on all sorts of different hardware. And you can self-host some bits and pieces of your digital life if you really feel motivated to.

I don't know if it's much help but I never said it would solve all the things you seem to want it to. There are some alternatives out there for people feeling trapped by big tech, I'm just trying to share a small piece of that.

Maybe we disagree on the kinds of technological problems society needs to solve. 🤷‍♂️

Ok, but the solution is super easy, low cost, and right in front of you. Pick up a Raspberry Pi if you want to go even cheaper. If you are uncomfortable with electronics, you can still piece together a bunch of cool stuff just using USB as your interface of choice.

Also, 10" mini racks are cool.

Lots of cool stuff happening in tech if you look outside of the big corporations.

If she isn't the Dem nominee she should still run. I think we could put a progressive in here in CA.

BUT DID YOU FORGET ABOUT IT? Because overthrowing a country's government is a way fucking different crime than some vandalism, isn't it?

You can order a Linux handheld n100 touchscreen for under $300. Technology is absolutely fun today.

Tesla has a lot further to go. No way is that failing car company worth more than multiple other car companies combined.

The valuation is all smoke and mirrors.

Because I want my tax money going to worthwhile shit.

People on here love to talk about what "they" will think or not think.

This has nothing to do with some other and their perception. This is about me and my tax dollars and how they're used.

Trump isn't only bad for our standing in the world, he's wasting our money.

What are you a flip-flopper?

It is amazing how mad these two words in the right context can make me. Getting real, real fuckin tired of the assholes getting into power all the time.

The lead-poisoned DUI hire is gonna keep everyone safe by deleting pictures with the word "gay" in the filename. Everyone can sleep soundly at night now.
