Many seem to be unmoved by our emails.
They will not be able to ignore our shouts as easily.

One of the things about living in Sydney is you don't know if you're having a stroke or there's a bushfire/backburning.
I smell burning so this may be my last post. Oh wait, it's cleared.

We only have to look back at what we lost, instead of forward at what's left to destroy.

in reply to Em • • •I've the same fears but I'm not sure if we can change their minds with just protesting.
I still think that we need alternatives to standard hardware & protocols to have a chance to escape the doom.
A lot of people are hypnotised by their devices, soon they will talk to their freezers, robots will invade our streets and our homes, Internet is vanishing under the AI generated summaries and many "users" pick any generated answer as undeniable truth so...
