@elight and it's going to get worse with all those newbie button pushers whose only skill is to memorize some corpoglobohomo Cloud instructions and will kill each other for clout.You're always welcome to join the #Cypherpunk, we have memes.

@elightWe had a worker-owned tech coop here in town, but it only consisted of 3 people. Had they not dissolved, I would have attempted to join them if I were looking for work today.They still provided services to people for money, but they could turn down work that they didn't want to do, be it based on ethical grounds or just not enjoying that type of work.It's hard to find out about organizations this small. I found out about this one by bumping into an owner at a 2600 meeting.

@elight The only way I was able to make this work was:1. I shifted away from income maximization as my career goal; and instead chose to peg my income to the regional median2. I continue to bill at market rates to well-capitalized clients.To be frank, the hardest part was adjusting my living expectations to be more aligned with the regional medians and get more involved with the local community.Especially since COVID really solidified my anti-social habits

@elight I work in a library making open access educational websites. I get paid less, but I have better working conditions and feel proud of what I do.

@elight I don't. I'm self employed, I wanted to help individuals to get out of most scams (hardware & software), and I just feel like I'm not helping jack but making thing continues like they already are.I don't feel like I'm changing anything, instead I just feel like an hypocrite cogwheel. >_<
