>>24877>Linux, Wikipedia, Mozilla Firefox, Signal… I've always believed, that these were the "good guys" in the tech world.there's no ethical consumption under capitalism. leftism 101. evn if evry one of these guys behind these companies is 100% pure, good meanin ppl, they r still forced to make profits to survive in a capitalist economy.
>I remember, ten years ago, I actually donated regularly to Wikipedia, because I believed in their mission of free knowledge and shit. yes wikipedia-censorship is extensive, an problematic. bu this don't necessarily take away from the fact its still an incredibly valuable tool for education across the world, billions use it on the daily. my personal advice: dont believe anythin on there that aint sourced, or that cites sum shitty sources, an always b skeptical.
>But in the last months, I found out that all these "alternative" and "non-profit" projects and organizations are deeply intertwined with BigTech. >It's over. its nvr begun to begin w/, do u think the internet began as a project of freedom and liberty? i hve bad news for u anon.
>There was a time, when people thought, that television would bring light to the world. It didn't, it actually brought darkness to the world. real, deadass, television is absolute brainrot. my kids is gonna b watchin studio ghibli, teen titans, an myb sum select other media i decide aint too rottedova.
>And I was one of those people, who believed, the internet would bring light to the world. Now I realize, it was a mistake, just like television.anon, hve u eva heard the concept of "grey-zone"? not everythin's black and white yk. sure, these tech IPs u've named r engaged in sum shady stuff, that dont mean there aint good to them. the issue is not w/ these IPs, its w/ capitalism.
