Drives me mad the main stream seam unaware/ignoring that it’s about anything free piracy. You hear next to nothing about the problem of DRM, digital ownership, digital freedom or even proper competition in proper markets. There is sometimes mentions of Right To Repair, but they never follow the thread. Or talk about how the internet runs on FOSS. A FOSS system like Debian is a wonder, that still, after 15y of use, floors me when I think about it. A utopian vision of humans can do.
Drives me even more insane when they actively complain about losing access to something, or not having it available offline, and do nothing about it
Like, here’s the super simple solution, just take it!
But they won’t sacrifice a tiny bit of their habit to break free. They’ll keep on whining about the world and not doing anything, even when they are directed to it with the most simple, grandma-style guidance.
Seriously, sometimes I wish we could get all the shitty execs and politicians alone in a room with all of us and just insult them for their shitty behavior, like the Chevy Chase comedy central roast.
I mean who wouldn’t want to see the expression on the head of Nestle’s face when he’s told his mother should have swallowed?
This.
Also, we all here are aware of the problem, to the point where such posts are nothing but circlejerk.
The article might come as eye-opener to some, but certainly not here. Time for solutions. And they are political.

I get you

They can’t really perceive what is being done to them. They can notice something, but can’t quite put it all together.
Voices like EFF, OpenRightsGroup, FSC, etc, need to be heard and made understandable by normal people, news and government.
This is why I don’t want Lemmy to become huge. Keep the idiots out.

They know full well we hate them, that wouldn’t help, and would vent the anger we need to make an actual sensible change.
