   Dear tech bros,

   Have you licked the boots of your favourite billionaire and/or trillion-dollar corporation yet today?

   Remember to nitpick and challenge every word of those trying to warn folks away from them and creating alternatives that don’t exploit people for profit (fucking commies, amirite?) while giving them every benefit of the doubt (let’s be frank, who hasn’t caused the occasional genocide?)

   Silicon Valley thanks you for your service.

     @morxemplum But don’t forget that we can always do tech differently. We don’t have to play by their rules. Your CS education is a valuable tool you can use to either perpetuate an unjust system that makes it easy for you to benefit from personally or to create kinder, fairer, and more egalitarian alternatives to it :)

     @aral It's honestly this that I sort of regret my major in CS lol

     Tech companies making shitty decisions and then there's people who just love it the more shittier it is.
