    That’s because they’re obviously horrible people who do not have the best interests of the world in mind.

      I’m SO glad everyone has caught up on how horrible they are, I remember like 10 years ago, maybe slightly less, posting a comment on reddit that explained the tech bros are authoritarian far right douche nozzles that want to harm society, track everyone, create a techno feudal state and I was inundated with downvotes and comments calling me wrong, crazy, a fear mongerer, and that said I’ve obviously never worked in tech. - I worked under John S Quarterman and Vint Cerf in the 90s creating maps of networks and of the internet as a whole, I most definitely knew what I was talking about. So glad people don’t see them as creative genius techno gods now.

        Yes indeed it’s great they showed all and many caught on.

        I recall there’s this threshold on lost trust and then it can also no longer be regained. Forgot what it’s called but I really hope we’re there.

        Oh that and guillotines are also nice as threat to people fucking it up for all.
