do you mean 'the subscription model' where giant profit-seeking firms retain full ownership of tech, and who can therefore jack up the price of 'service'/usage at any time?

yeah fuck that. i live in an apartment block where i pay €3 for every wash. that's a fucking ripoff.

the solution is modular open source hardware and software.

seriously, why are you so people to give up all their power?

we need to start thinking outside the boundaries of the capitalist profit-motive.

to see the devastating impacts of planned obsolescence (e.g. the disgusting amount of e-waste shipped to African countries) and then think we should give more power to corporations is a bit of a mindfuck to me.

easy to frame or dismiss something as jargon if you're benefitting from the status quo, eh?
