I quite like this thread by npub1eradhy2cj70udz2353u6mlkccnls7qgqq4xcdjs3dk0ds62jykesyy78gu (npub1era…78gu) about the psychological harm of locked down computers: https://floss.social/@jgoerzen/110327999622439388
It's a good read, and there is a great deal of truth in it.
I do have a quibble however: while I didn't do any programming in the 1980s, my recollection is that in that particular era, if you wanted to do anything really interesting with your computer you needed to *buy a programming language*.
