I am a very curious person.

And like many of our fellow Lemmings, I want to envision a society that values human beings and puts people before profits.

I have been pushing back against enshitification for as long as I can remember.

You remember Web 1997 — that was the peak. Obviously we needed Wikipedia, so we can go as far forward as its birth but that overlaps with the corporatizing of the internet…

So what’s an old timer like me doing around here? Learning. Meeting cool people. Feeling like I’m doing one small act of resistance in a world that wants to turn everyone into this Matrix batteries.

So… I feel a lot of the time it’s me against the goddamn tech.

Case in point: two factor.

It’s another layer… another thing that can go wrong.

Had to upgrade my 2014 laptop and got a machine with finger print blah blah blah.

I refuse to use it.

The machine fights me via browsers.

I finally have to use incognito mode on almost every browser I open or I can’t get into my employers platform to do my fucking work.

I’m here to be around people who don’t like to be bullied by faceless megaliths.

And just the random cool people who will pursue a cool thread.
