Actually, my distaste for Big Tech is nothing new. It’s been building for decades.
First, little stuff like the inkjet printer that you invited into your house that claims to need, “Just a little more cyan, bro. I’ll print your black and white page after I get my cyan. Come on, bro.”
That’s because it needs to print the tracking dots on every page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_tracking_dots
I am sure the end user really needs these dots bro…
Can’t live without them !
jokes on them, I print all my ransom notes using a Gutenberg press.
good luck tracking that shit down!
God dammit! I’m going back to sending my ransom notes using cut up words from magazines!
We need to homebrew our own printers
