also stop working for them and claim your damn sovereignty. Sure it comes with responsibility, and if you don’t want that it’s fine, but no complaining for you when they treat you like a number in a system.

It’s insane to me how intelligent software developers and people in general are, and how fucking stupid they can still be. STOP WORKING FOR CENTRALIZED CORPORATIONS, THEY DO NOT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU.

That 6 figure paycheck is well accounted for in their books and they’re cashing in on it in multiples.

Open-source is hard, but look at all the hard challenges corporations are forcing you to spend relentless hours solving so they can multiply their bottom line. These are the challenges engineers are built for, why do we allow our motivations to be manipulated into something that doesn’t even serve us? That’s a serious question that deserves attention. Why do employees feel so committed to their companies? It’s simple, but highly effective psychological manipulation, but at the end of the day only you have agency over your actions.

Let’s put our collective minds to work at figuring how how to get off the tit of corporations. That milk is ultra-processed generic-branded shit.

i tried it out! works for messaging, i sent a gif and it’s sending on the order of 10kb/s. I don’t know how voice/video chat would do on that 😄 Often when I was trying to open the app it would get overlaid with the intro screen, didn’t realize you have to click the X on the top right to get back to the chat app. I was finding a work around by hitting the back button. Cool concept

I don’t have sympathy for software developers who work for these massive centralized tech companies that are harvesting people’s attention for money… I mean… are they really surprised they got axed when it comes down to the bottom line?
