@sleepyowl @chloetankahhui My hope is that the more they push shit like this, the more people will opt to just not buy/use new tech with all the restrictions on it, until the billionaire CEOs realize they're only hurting themselves by disincentivizing people from buying their shit and put the pressure on to roll it back. If MS loses users to linux, Dell loses customers to upcycling, etc... that hurts their bottom line. They're determined to fuck shit up, but freedom will find a way.
