As I watch X openly support Nazis, Google search displaying explicitly incorrect information and misinformation, and the continued march towards a lack of foresight or accountability in tech I must reiterate that technology is and forever will be a political force.
@annaecook I've been saying software is political for years.. it's precisely why I gravitate so strongly towards free and open source software, and e-recycled hardware.. because fuck those guys..
I mean, whoever I am, right? Some rando. Yet, if only more people just stopped buying Their™ shit and built our technological edifices out of software that respects a people's freedoms!
Stil tho, whenever I say that software is where today's civil rights movement is, I'm just #OldManYellsAtCloud
