People who knew me as a "techie guy" over a decade ago are sometimes surprised at how critical I am of new technology.
But maybe tech has gotten worse, influenced more and more by greed... or maybe I've become much more ethical with age.
Or maybe both are true?
I'm 100% fine with being more ethical. Historically though I've always been a fan of DIY/low cost/open technology solutions over integrated/proprietary bullshit from corporations.
(And yeah, I'm still a hypocrite in some ways. Sorry!)
