With surveillance capitalism reaching it’s peak in 2026/2027, is getting out the Web the only way for the privacy inclined user?

Will Gemini (or cousins) go the way of Linux? Or is it foverer condemned to go the way of Hurd

    Are you liberal leaning or not? Is this a insult to you? If so, I’m clapping to that and you’re not really a liberal.

    You’re the one putting me in an Ivory Tower when my question is whether that tool is the right one to be adopted and be made known to others and I made myself clear that I believe the weaponized WWW is a tool for the status quo.

    You can’t game the system, that’s a liberal belief proven wrong through the History since the Social Democrats in Germany.

    Heck, I just said the old BBS and IRC made a better interconnecting model for people based on the genuine desire of sharing something, a very Socialist thing to do. There is, a positive thing to me, is it to you?

    But we can’t connect on your terms because I believe you are in the wrong and a correction would be beneficial to you.

    But the neoliberal consensus of conformity makes the sleeping people think that a confrontation of ideas is a bad thing and the middle ground is the desirable choice.

    Guess what? The middle ground to accommodate ideas that are beneficial to the ruling class isn’t a middle ground at all. The power unbalance is too great to ignore.

    And your take on what’s more comfortable works for them. Because they control the dopamine and serotonin intake cycles though the screens on the WWW. And you’re just reproducing that opinion because in any epoch the ruling ideas are the ideias of the ruling class. While I’m all for a paradigm shift.

    As for your last claim of demagogy, that and populism are just words historically meant to prevent exposition of an idea siding with the working class’ need of being more involved in politics. Sometimes “tankie” is the one used. Alas, it’s par for the course.

    Ah, yes: on the last line, I’m not even advocating for Gemini per si. You do you.
