- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

So unless I can convince my mom to install Firefox we're fucked.
...we're fucked.
Unless you can convince them to get out of the 'surveillance for free stuff' market then they're fucked, not everyone.
You can choose to use free and open source software and sped time learning and putting together a system that benefits you. Or you can just sign up for Google, let them do all of the work in exchange for spying on you with every device that you buy and put in your house.
I'm fucked either way. Big corporations control so much of the internet devices the chances are my stuff is going to them anyway.
yes. also your friends, not only mom.
(/s aside, most people of younger generations don't care as well, not only elderly less tech literate folks)
We are soooo fucked.
