@jeremiah sure, but why won't hardware makers pre-install free code, or charge more for companie that do? -

@jeremiah the reasons are not lack of demand (I want one, clearly so do you), we need to understand what they are. Hardware maker politics? -

@jeremiah heaps of groups have/ are trying to do a free code mobile (Replicant, FirefoxOS, Ubuntu Phone, BlackPhone, Ind.ie), why not joy? -

@jeremiah yes, I've got some ideas too. Happy to discuss tech implementations. But we need to deal with political-economic hacking too -

@jeremiah because the Snowden relevations tell them something actionable, instead of "you're all stupid, ergo, boot on a human face forever" -

@jeremiah once they know there are other ways to organise the net, they might ask "why bother", but now they're ready to understand Snowden -

@jeremiah whereas if we start with the premise that economic power is being abused to keep people in data farms, step 1 is empowering people -

@jeremiah although, if we accept the premise that people are lazy and can't be made to care, nothing can be done ... -

@jeremiah clearly we disagree on cause and effect, so let's leave that for now, and move on to your question; "what to do next?" -

@jeremiah once you're in the golden cage, cognitive dissonance interferes with accepting the revelations and acting on them -

@jeremiah but there's a difference between knowing what Snowden revealed before vs. after you get enslaved by proprietary/ centralized tools -

@jeremiah Snowden didn't tell us anything we haven't known for 20 years, he just gave us confirmation and specific implementation details -

@jeremiah also, those who really understand the significance of what #Snowden revealed tend to be the same people already using alternatives -

@jeremiah because people (other than me) are stupid is a lazy, cynical answer to any question, and ignores the roles of power, culture etc -

@jeremiah true, but you're speaking from the perspective of what happened (the Man-in-the-Middle), I'm asking *why* it was able to succeed -
Danyl Strype (strypey@quitter.se)'s status on Monday, 19-Feb-2018 16:40:35 UTC Danyl Strype
@jeremiah they have succeeded at an economic Man-in-the-Middle attack on the net as a whole by making sure most people don't know that -

@jeremiah talk about business models is valid, but it also misses the point that businesses (in the traditional sense) were never required -

@jeremiah but it's more than that. Why do people still use #Windows when #GNU-Linux is better and gratis? Deeper structures are at play here -
Danyl Strype (strypey@quitter.se)'s status on Monday, 19-Feb-2018 16:33:05 UTC Danyl Strype
@jeremiah gratis vs. pay-per-view is a false dichotomy, and like the screen addiction discourse, obscure the fact the VCs aren't needed -

@jeremiah there were gratis platforms (and software and so on) before VC-funded startups became parasites on the value their users create
