Can't wait for nothing to happen. They are never going to control this except maybe only when people who are not rich do it. Intelligence is barely the tip of the iceberg here. They need to control the poors for authoritarian rule, so the cameras and spying will never go away. They have managed to enshittify every aspect of life.

Did you hear about the ad agency that pushed for the age verification in Australia? They posted gambling ads, and instead of banning the ads, the advertiser pushed for age controls so the issue with kids would be "resolved". Or so I hear. Really, they are probably just trying to control the population and steal data.

OpenWRT released a router. Degoogled Fairphone 6 (with MicroG) with e/OS is available in US and uses Murena provider. DNS options with VPNs and domain filters would be cool. Jellyfin instead of Spotify could go under music. Scihub, Gutenberg, and Scidb under books.

This site looks good. Thank you for your contribution! Love it!

Back then there wasn't just three rich tech bro losers that owned the means of all the labor.

At this point there is no hope of us being well off enough to excessively consume, save, invest, and definitely not to grow money. The rich folks want a huge chunk of the population dead. Our future is slavery unless we overcome this, and most people I know are extremely unaware of the issues.

That and many jobs will be automated. The next five years will be brutal. The sudden rise of surveillance is one way they attempt to control the fallout as the current working units (us) are decommissioned.

I once pirated my own publication (I lost the original and it was behind paywall). This world is so fucked in every way.

Can we start slowly boycotting businesses that leverage Google resources? Like, maybe start with one industry, and then hit them hard. "Like hey Steam, my domain filter shows all the Google queries I get from your site. Knock it off or we'll use the competitor!"

Seriously, the Google queries from using Steam are pissing me off for real.

Are the laptops an issue too?

 

SearxNG instances are not working as well these days and I want something more reliable. I will just pay a subscription. Swiss cows is pushing subscriptions and I'm good with paying. Never tried Kagi.
