I hope google fails as a whole in the near future and gets dissolved once and for all. Sick and tired of tech companies trying to be sources of authority, working with authoritarian governments, and dictating what you can and can’t do.

I have hope. Last time they got hit with an anti monopoly lawsuit that should’ve forced them to sell away chrome, but unfortunately they got bailed out. Here’s hoping next time they aren’t so lucky

I’ll be honest, tech got us by the balls… and they know it.

No they don’t. There are viable, open source alternatives for 99% of the software/services we use. The fact that people are not aware of it is already like half of the real problem.

Say that to my banking and credit card apps (some of which don’t even have a web version for seCuRitY reasons)

I’d say ‘change banks’.

The open source alternative to those is currently doing quite well.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I’m saying it doesn’t seem like it will matter.
