FOSS but also no ads. And don’t harvest any data to sell either.
I genuinely don’t understand where revenue streams are meant to come from for any of this software with peoples expectations.

I actually find one of the interesting parts of the books being the kind of way that misinformation can spread across the country.
Like a character does one thing and that action gets attributed to a whole bunch of different people by different characters.
But yea, I’m on book 9 now and definitely a bit frustrated with nobody just talking about things.
Cambridge Analytica stuff though I think mostly revolved around them identifying more vulnerable users.
I don’t consider myself vulnerable to this stuff (I may consider grandparents and certain friends a bit more vulnerable) - should I still be worried about them having my personal data? I obviously would rather they don’t have my vulnerable relatives data so they aren’t manipulated, but for me personally does it matter?

People still do stuff just for the sake of it. To be fun, helpful, whatever. However to expect things to just be done for us out of the kindness of people’s hearts I think is bordering on entitled.
