Negative thoughts flooded my mind. The EU is constantly trying to push Chat Control. They're blocking bootloaders on phones, introducing ID and face scanning everywhere, in the US they're trying to push system-level verification, corporations are spitting in our faces and don't even hide it. I know we have to fight. My personal rebellion was joining Fediverse and Lemmy and quitting Reddit. But seriously, boss—I'm tired. Are our attempts to preserve internet freedom futile? Can we win against corporations and politicians who we pay but don't listen to us?

    In Poland we call it "gotowanie żaby" (eng. boiling a frog). This is a nice idiom for slow action towards a specific goal despite the resistance of reality.
