I get ghosted by a friend after persuading him to use Fediverse, Matrix, Delta Chat. Seems like some people are avoiding me after thinking I do not conform the norms.
Another friend told me "you have been lied to", "these things are not secure and they are lying", and so we've never talked again.
Even showing F-Droid and sideloading apps, they told me it is not secure.
Thank you so much to the big tech that have successfully brainwashed people with their propaganda. Here is my 🖕 finger.

@serigala_tropis the people around me at least see the value of foss and the fediverse. They just don't migrate due to inertia and due to defeatist views like saying that corporations already control everything and there's no way to escape, so they might choose convenience instead.
Mind if I ask where you're from?

@serigala_tropis Your not alone , I tell friends and family to only use #signal #tox #matrix for texting and they don’t care.

@serigala_tropis I tried, even giving people direct links to good instances, pointed them to excellent starter people to follow, but...
"I'm just more comfortable shackled to corporate social media. Follow me on Blue Sky!"
I get tired of watching people run from one abusive relationship right into another, nearly identical one.
All because their friends are also doing it.

Some person making products in their garage that provably out-perform the large company offerings get ignored because "their thing cant possibly be better, they dont have the budget and resources!"
Its so weird. I know people who treat paying large money for something from a large brand as a point of pride. Clearly I am not normal in this regard as I view everything on its own merits.
It is clear that for most people, and "brand" released thing feels safer; Marketing works, I suppose. The smallest bit of self awareness and critical thinking should snap these people out of it but it just doesnt happen.

@grabbi_it ti assicuro che il settore del fast food ha un impatto ambientale molto più devastante rispetto al settore dell’AI che ha comunque un impatto non trascurabile. Ma alla gente piace mangiare hamburger scadenti e spegnere il cervello per farsi fare i compiti da un software, quindi forse la parte più rilevante del problema che sollevi è quella culturale/antropologica e non quella tecnologica…

@raiderrobert I think this works also in life

Software principles that last don't come from architects in glass offices. They come from practitioners who noticed what kept working.
These principles arose from doing the work. They did not descend from on high from those far removed from the work.
This, I feel is the most fundamental truth about doing work: those without dirty hands are wrong. Doing something makes you right.

@justdude what made you decide to change over?

@joshaspinall @justdude @justine I'm currently configuring this for my office.
At the moment, I'm managing around 50 #MikroTik devices. They're all doing great.
I have more or less other 50 devices to be delivered or "just in case". They can be off for years - I upgrade them, reset to default settings and they're ready to do their job in a reliable way.
Oh, and I also have a watchdog!

@joshaspinall @justine @stefano
I am not a good reference for Mikrotik at the moment.. but it will grow on me.
Maybe my choice is a bit overkill, especially when the wifi reaches everywhere. But the extra access point with a router provides some more flexibility in the home office and hobby space
