There's many intimidation factors that could probably need illuminating.
And everybody seems to feel intimidated and silenced these days. 
Interesting phenomenon. Maybe a kind of a competition, I guess. Probably 
a side effect of exzessive digital technology consumption?
I am generally skeptical about all cybernetic petri dishes, even if it's
of our own making, which is anyway, NOT likely an accurate way of
describing whatver we build on cables + infrastructures + chips that we
do not own !
Right. How about exploiting capitalists for our purposes? My bad 
conscience doesn't kick in if I exploit capitalists - I think they kind 
of like it.
And that is not to say we shouldnt continue to fight in this arena ! ...
but...
Just a question from my hobby room: I have my own cloud server in my 
basement, Lineage on mobiles and Ubuntu on all other computers. That's 
not exactly a fight - but maybe a little ingredient for my own soup. 
What do you think?
Best,

Christian.
