>> I long for the old days of the libertarian hackers...

I share your feelings... I cam up in tech the early 90's, I can hardly recognize the hacker and free software communities any more

Very sad that authoritarianism is replacing individualism, free thinking and libertarian ideals that gave us soo much prosperity

Indeed, very sad. This is not what I signed for.

So I'm not sure I want to be in tech anymore. This is not my type of people, and not my ideals. I feel I was born too late to taste this spirit of freedom I can only read about, but not experience.
