It wasn't always this way.
We used to buy software. It did what you told it to do, and it kept to itself. Today, most software runs in the cloud. It doesn’t cost anything upfront, but it's far from free.
Using modern apps enters you into a hidden surveillance agreement. The platform quietly harvests your habits, inputs, and attention to sell to advertisers.
It needs to be easier.
Community-built, open-source software is the answer, but adoption has stagnated because taking back control meant becoming a part-time IT professional.
You shouldn’t have to learn command-line interfaces, manage AWS accounts, or know how to work a Raspberry Pi just to use a decent app without being tracked.
