It’s really important to point out that our own interaction with tech may have changed to be extremely controlled, and seem like we have a dependency on corporations… but the original underlying structure still exists. We have power to exist independently, and create our own alternatives too.

At the core of it, we can participate our own way, if we know where to look.
You can still create websites, your own tools, distribute your own software… and how to do that is a very important understanding to cultivate.

Tech literacy is an imperative, especially in the era that we are in right now.

Yo! That website if fire! Literally.

Love the personalized web page. Really feels like a web 1.0 website. I guess the author is really living what they preach.
