We are so far beyond ‘the people who did this have names and addresses’.
The people who fucking did this are the most famous people on the planet, at this point.
Stop being afraid.
Stop acting like anything they can bring on you is legitimate or justified.
Like Howard Beale, I want you to get mad.
Stop complaining on the internet, and start protesting loudly at every single physical place these people ever are.
You’ll get arrested. You might end up put away for weeks or months… but those penalties will only get worse, the more power they accumulate, while we all just sit back and bitch about, uselessly.
They are the system.
There is no ‘safe’ way, according to the system, to meaningfully challenge it.
Actually become ungovernable, instead of just being fucking catty on Twitter!
also stop working for them and claim your damn sovereignty. Sure it comes with responsibility, and if you don’t want that it’s fine, but no complaining for you when they treat you like a number in a system.
It’s insane to me how intelligent software developers and people in general are, and how fucking stupid they can still be. STOP WORKING FOR CENTRALIZED CORPORATIONS, THEY DO NOT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU.
That 6 figure paycheck is well accounted for in their books and they’re cashing in on it in multiples.
Open-source is hard, but look at all the hard challenges corporations are forcing you to spend relentless hours solving so they can multiply their bottom line. These are the challenges engineers are built for, why do we allow our motivations to be manipulated into something that doesn’t even serve us? That’s a serious question that deserves attention. Why do employees feel so committed to their companies? It’s simple, but highly effective psychological manipulation, but at the end of the day only you have agency over your actions.
Let’s put our collective minds to work at figuring how how to get off the tit of corporations. That milk is ultra-processed generic-branded shit.
