  Also if wifi mesh is our last hope, oof

  Yeah. What I propose is getting more people involved and caring about freedom preserving technologies before it gets to that point. A tiny minority of somewhat more tech literate people are not going to be magically immune to authoritarian checkmate scenarios.

    For the last 20+ years, I’ve been trying to get people to understand the point of free and open formats with pretty much zero success. For the most, they just don’t care if somebody else owns all they data. Maybe if something really bad was to happen to them or a loved one as a result, they’d change their mind. Then I’d get to tell them “that’s what I’ve been telling you for literally decades”, but what would be the point?

    Not technical people will never get it.
