>normal people don't care about things tech nerds care about and aren't going to make even minor sacrifices to gain an advantage over the institutions subjugating them. I've seen more and more laypeople variously complaining about google and meta doing not-great stuff with their personal info and undue societal influence. Frequently they say 'no one saw this coming' and I always try to rub it in that 'yes the linux[0] guys have been absolutely screaming about this since the 90s but you ignored them because they're geeky and uncool'. [0]FOSS guys is more correct, but normal people don't know that term, nor would they understand it.
