Actually, my distaste for Big Tech is nothing new. It’s been building for decades.
First, little stuff like the inkjet printer that you invited into your house that claims to need, “Just a little more cyan, bro. I’ll print your black and white page after I get my cyan. Come on, bro.”
That’s because it needs to print the tracking dots on every page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_tracking_dots
We need to homebrew our own printers
jokes on them, I print all my ransom notes using a Gutenberg press.
good luck tracking that shit down!
I am sure the end user really needs these dots bro…
Can’t live without them !
God dammit! I’m going back to sending my ransom notes using cut up words from magazines!
