+ What are "tech normies"? +

+

+ I personally think "tech normies" are people who just live the corporate world and use +nothing that is not made by some huge company like apple or microsoft, they want someone else +to make choices and decisions for them instead of them thinking what they will use and do +on the computer, it's like they just want some master to lead them and show them the way how +to do or use anything, those type of people have completely lost the sense of (digital) responsibility. +

+

+ They just want to use apps, click buttons and ask microsoft or whoever the fuck they follow +what to do and use, for example if microsoft includes microsoft edge in windows, normies will use +that instead of actually deciding on what browser to use because all they want is to click buttons +like a primitive monkey, doesn't make any choices, decisions or anything responsible to themselves. +

+

+ (Digital) normies are like... digital prisoners +

+

+ In prison people lose their sense of responsibility as they know that everyday they will get +food, a shelter and what to do, they will always know what will happen and don't have to worry +about money, taxes and anything that will happen in the future while you, a free person, have to. +You have to pay taxes, work to get money and make sure not to overspend as you can lose your shelter, +food and supplies in general. +

+

+ "Freedom is sometimes scary" +

+

+ So is the real life, you will never know what will happen next and have to worry about everything +as a free person and you don't have anything or anyone to cover up for you and you have to make choices and +if you make bad ones - you will have to face consequences. +

+

+ Taking first step to digital freedom +

+

+ Stop depending on proprietary, censoring, centralised, etc. services and start using libre and FOSS operating +systems like GNU/Linux((-libre)(-hardened)) and get away from companies and stop treating them as anything +else but companies, their goal is to make money and sell your data, start being responsible on what you use +and think, trust no-one and think for yourself. +
