Utterly pointless. We'll be systematically discriminated against at every turn. We'll lose access to finances, services, communities and even simple sites because our computers aren't corporate owned. We'll become so marginalized we'll only be able to visit places like HN, places that at least try to pay some lip service to everything the word "hacker" stands for.

And then they will make it so our devices need to pass hardware remote attestation to connect to the internet and even that will be taken away from us.

I don't know what to do anymore. The future is bleak. The free computing we love is being destroyed by forces outside our control, forces that cannot be stopped no matter what we do because they have trillions of dollars and their interests are aligned with those of governments the world over.
