As a tech nerd who understands the value of data and how it relates to companies in the modern day it personally concerns me to make sure my info isn’t easily collectable. I can list off moral argumants for foss and rant about how I’m fighting the good fight against corporate/government surveillance but really that’s just window dressing fluff. The core of it like many things is power, control, and dominance.

Data is money. Money is power. Therefore, data is power. The more of my data I let leak, the more power others have over me. I own my computer, I own my data. its mine so I need to fully control and enforce my power over it otherwise its not really mine and instead some companies who will eventually play power and control games with me over who really gets to control the bytes on the screen.

Fuck you and your forced candy crush ads in the start screen Microsoft, Get off my harddrive. Fuck you and your always listening nonesense FAANG and PRISM, your spyware riddled portable tappy computer gets put in a soundproof Faraday cage when I don’t need to use it. I’m not a stupid animal. You might rightfully get away with treating the general population like ones but I see through your bullshit and and know your games. You want to spy on me? Fine but it will cost you. Step up your game and get some fucking alphabet boys om a salary in a van across the street like the good old days when mass survailance 1984 style was a concern and not a fashion accessory.
