    I’ve gone off the FOSS deep end so it doesn’t stop when I see Windows used in the wild.

    The longer I’m here, the more I recoil at the sight of people using products from Google so casually and thoughtlessly.

    I’ll feel visceral disgust when I see the soulless, dystopian corporate logos of Xitter, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc that wormed their way into a universal presence on social footers of websites or promotional emails or search engines… and everyone’s locked down devices, sucking up troves of data to map who you are, were, and will be. Even McFuckingDonalds has a clause in a policy saying they’ll measure your intelligence.

    The greater the intersect between emotions felt while enjoying a cautionary fictional cyberpunk tale and those felt while experiencing reality… well, anyway you get the idea.

    Tldr I need a hug from a penguin or cocaine from a bear or something holy shit

    You, reader, go. Hug a penguin. Spread love to the world. Believe in the change you want to see. Be good to each other. And don’t let anyone or anything take who you are, were, or can be away from you, be it a corp, a government, or a bad day.

    Have a good day

        Hahaha thanks. I like being extra and colorful like this. It’s a good release in more ways than one
