An old saying from my grandparents that went, "Not all that glitters is gold," can be perfectly applied to technology, especially the internet and social media. In fact, I'd say that nowadays almost everything is shit Especially digital activism, which from afar smells of business dealings as dirty as all the others out there. And I say this because of the fundamentalism and fanaticism with which more and more people are advocating for their preferred software or against the one they don't like.I don't let anyone tell me what device I'm going to use, what operating system, or what application, nor am I going to tell anyone what to do.Do you like Macbooks or iPhones? Do you use Windows? Do you like Linux? Are you an Ubuntu or Fedora user? Do you prefer Android? In my previous jobs I learned that if a government wants to find and spy on you, it will do so anyway, no matter what the hell you use. If they can remove a president from his own country they'll find you however they want, and they'll grease your ass with oil if they want to. Use whatever you want or whatever works well for you. For the past 36 years I've owned many computers and phones, and they're all pretty much the same.What matters is what you do with them. I have one laptop and one desktop, both running Arch. But if I had more computers I would install Debian, Fedora, etc. on them. I work and have fun with the machines. I think it's great that there are many Linux desktops and many distros, that there are iPhones and Android, Windows, BSD, Unix, and there should be more different things. #computing #operatingsystem #apple #windows #linux #android #technology
