There are at least two generations of us who are disappointed at the contrast between tech's possibilities as envisioned decades ago and the corporate surveillance crap we have to put up with today.

    The thing that really gets to me is how we've gone from "Here, let us sell you a computer that you can push to its limits however you see fit" to "We will sell you a device and ensure you use that device within a given sphere of acceptability".

    I own this phone/computer/tablet/console/whatever, so why the fuck do I have to adhere to their rules? Rules they've changed since I bought the device, of course.
