  • It's really hard to establish privacy in this age. Everything store bought will fight you on it. And everything store bought will fight different solutions, so it's harder to stay in contact with your friends; or get them to change with you. It's just way easier to fight the "newcomers". And that's a start at least.






  • Warning, no technical stuff, only creed:

    I don't hate Windows in and off itself. For me it represents my first contact with a computer and influences my choice of UI to this day.

    I hate what it stands for, which for me is something I call "gated computing"; a restriction of access to computational power and abilities. It turns a machine with near limitless potential, like watching cat videos, sharing how to best build bridges or calculating the bygone cycles of the moon, to a machine that maliciously distracts people while giving a selected few the power of watching over them with ever changing objectives as to why they watch them.

    Windows, like few others, eased people into thinking that that was the right way to use a computer all along.

    That is why I hate it.
