As an engineer and self-hosting and self-coding enthusiast, I would agree with a lot of the points. I have spent most of my life in IT advocating for decentralization and democratization.

However, as someone who has had enough experience in the real world to notice how different time and skill constraints lead to different requirements for outsourcing, I think that it sounds elitist. Even an LLM is not sufficient for people who don't even know the difference between backend and frontend or what an API is, and therefore don't stand a chance to craft a proper prompt, let alone properly test the code that the LLM produces.

For context, I could also tell Mr. "Having a fucking website" that they're a hypocrite because they run a blog on Wordpress and have a social media account on mastodon.social. Those who really believe in decentralization run their own stuff, or code their own blogging platform like I did. They don't just brag of how morally superior they are just because they deleted their Facebook and Instagram accounts.

Of course I would sound elitist. And that's exactly how their stance sounds to the average bakery shop owner.

You know that you are dealing with a fascist scumbag the moment you hear "terrorist", "antifa" and "law and order" in the same phrase. Flock is a disgrace for the industry, and this fascist sociopath is a disgrace for mankind.

I don't get it.

If you hate Windows just use Linux, BSD or whatever.

I'm sick of all the "Windows 11 sucks" folks that yet keep using Windows.

Just boot your laptop from a Linux ISO and you've got the best way to bypass Windows 11.

Boycott Microsoft and everything it touches.

Or just use the Surfingkeys extension - it has a bit of a steep learning curve to customize it, but it's worth every piece of effort.
