       My comment on a FOSS meme on another platform:2019 me: PLLLLLEAASE, friends! Protect your privacy! Use FOSS OSes and privacy-respecting communications platforms.2023 me: Yaaay, little piggies. Gorge yourselves on that facebook messenger, whatsapp, tiktok, windows and MacOS. Give the corps and govt's TONS of sweet low-hanging fruit so they'll leave me alone on signal briar, linux and OpenBSD.Yeah, the last few years have been kinda metal. :P

       @RL_Dane Yeah, I'm over the idea of Linux or FOSS going "mainstream". We've seen what happens to our nice things when the public at large catches on, and decides they like it too. Corporations look for some way to monetize it, usually at the expense of the product itself. They suck every good thing out of it, and eventually leave its dried up husk in a ditch somewhere.Rich people ruin everything.I like my FOSS stuff just how it is. Thanks.

       @deadtom correct. Ties in nicely with the "Mastodon [sic] will never catch on because nobody understands how it works." Just stay on twitter or move to hive and leave us alone here. 👍@RL_Dane
