If #technology shapes your life, how you make money, what choices you (can) make, who you can communicate with, and how you can communicate with them... It makes #Google, #Apple, #Microsoft, and the like, all feudal land owners, and their customers literal serfs.

Rentiers, who cannot fathom a world beyond their corporate sharecrops..

I used to wonder why it's so hard to talk people off of Windows or Mac, but their whole life is held hostage by these companies. They don't even recognize it. 🤷
