Huh? I like your ideas, but I'm not painting. I'm saying "don't paint". If you think of it like a nice dividing line through the people who think stuff can change and the people who don't, the folks on the line are 'on the fence'. You see? If you can convince a few of them (not large swathes of them, just a few), then the line shifts. If we all do that, we can change a lot of minds for good!
You get what I mean? So yeah, my recommendation is that we all talk like things are easy to make better, instead of saying, "too late its all over" because you'll encourage more people to try which I assume you agree is a good thing but if not, I guess to each their own.
- BoorishBears 5y agoI'm saying you're painting though, and I'm saying you can't talk like things are easy to get better and have a meaningful conversation. Instead of trying to act like most people will ever care about locked bootloaders and PSB style co-processors, why don't we accept that they don't, they won't, and see what can happen from there? An example of that is looking at it from a national security perspective. If you can paint it as a vulnerability to the tech industry you could see movement without the sisyphean task of convincing people that this stuff matters in their day-to-day lives
- fartcannon 5y agoInteresting! I have to disagree that it can't lead to a meaningful conversation, but I'm definitely on board with painting it as a tech vulnerability!
