Gregory's Server@afewbugs well, that’s one way to victimise yourself. By refusing to learn anything that might empower yourself and just wait for your tech overlords to magically start playing nice. Change has a price.

@geoffl @afewbugs Linux is about seizing the means of computation and taking control. It’s build by a community and taking matters into your own hands. Using Windows or Mac you are just putting your digital destiny in the hands on some feudal techno lord, and acting surprised when this lord is using his power to screw you over. These companies has been acting this ways for decades.  @theisholtz @afewbugs In my experience Linux is lifestyle choice for people with enough time on their hands to deal with Linux. Don't use the fudal techno overloads Dropbox, simply spend a few hundred $ and take a week setting up your own cloud storage, with fail2ban, btrfs, and multiple off site backups. Then have to constantly update the software and harden the security. Just grow your own food and don't rely on "big farmer". I do both but I'm privileged enough to have the time. Many don't. @geoffl @theisholtz @afewbugs There are plenty of non-selfhosted open source alternatives to Dropbox available out there where you also pay a few bucks and don't have to worry about all the stuff you are mentioning. From my perspective it's about consciousness that with paying for MS Office / Dropbox and other proprietary stuff I make them STRONGER – but they don't have in mind to make my life better. Their goal is PROFIT. That is the main reason why Open Source is the only real solution here. |
