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!)
But if you're going to be a hypocrite, at least recognize and admit to be... be aware of it! Just like you should be aware of your privilege and how that's put you into whatever positions you are in.
Be aware, and beware. Stay alert. Be critical. Call things out (including yourself!)
