"why are you emotional about technology" because by just going along with whatever is the mainstream path of least resistance without thinking about monopolies and ecosystem lock-in is precisely what has landed us in the trash can so many times. modern PCs, laptops, gaming consoles, phones, home automation ("smart" 🤓) devices. they all fucking suck to various degrees because we never think about creating an alternative for when shit goes down bad.
i unironically don't want the niche alternatives that we *have* created to be ran over by the same type of bullshit walled garden like-it-or-leave-it one-size-fits-all thinking, and any technology that actively tries to be a monopoly with an ever expanding field of responsibilities is simply seriously concerning and bad.
every foss project benefits from having viable alternatives.
