I like how Doctorow is taking guardianship for his language through no bullshit tolerance.

But for real, I think GrapheneOS could take this stand if they’ve got the balls.

But I think the real reason nobody is doing this is the paradigm of reasonability.

Nobody want to step their foot down, because that’s not reasonable. We are supposed to make it work like the wife exposed to domestic violence.

But we need to stop being reasonable and start being assertive.

Im just waiting for somebody to make a plan for resistance. So far the best I have seen is going to the doorsteps of google to cry and beg them to stop.

thats not my cup of tea

go figure

all corporations are bad

The term sideloading default google walldom software by making software outside seem more excotic and less safe.

We can combat this by reframing the terms and making them reflect reality. Calling to engage with google walldom as bloodletting as we are giving up some of our willforce to google, where blood is a symbol of willforce. We can frame to use software outside the google walldom as bearing, as in bearing the blood instead of letting it go.

Bloodletting is to install software by using a walled software store. Bearing is to install software by using unwalled software stores.

I like miniflux. Lightweight, web based, selfhostable, assisted hosting and compatible with third party clients.

What about crowding a datacenter with the goal of burning it down? It creates no values anyways.

What a waste…

Im not convinced that this will make a difference. Just “calling your representatives” response is so low energy.
