No government surveillance, no forced compliance, no limits on speech or thought. Privacy by default, real ownership, decentralized power. Individuals build, trade, and innovate on their own terms. No masters, no slaves - just freedom. You in?

Centralized systems: Data-mined, censored, and controlled. Decentralized systems: Private, resilient, and user-controlled. Why trust corporations when you can trust open-source? Linux over Windows. GrapheneOS over Android. Bitcoin over banks. Own your tech, own your freedom.

9-5 is glorified slavery. You trade your time for just enough to get by, surrounded by people you can’t stand, climbing a ladder that leads nowhere. Promotion? Great, just a slightly bigger cage. The only way out: Stop renting your life. Build something that works for you.

"Why do you use Linux?" they ask - as if it’s some obscure choice. Meanwhile, they’re sitting there on Windows, which logs keystrokes, sends everything you do to Microsoft, runs hidden telemetry through DiagTrack, and lets external certificates validate apps without the user ever knowing. Even after paying for their machine, they’re left with a product they don’t actually own. The operating system decides what’s allowed, what gets installed, when it updates - and what gets sent out in the background. They think they bought a computer, but what they really got was a client license to a platform controlled by someone else. It wasn’t always like this. Before the 1980s, all software came with open source code – anyone could modify, adapt, and improve their systems. When Richard Stallman was denied access to his office printer driver because the code was closed, he realized what was happening: users were losing control. That’s how the fight for free software began - to keep the right to understand and shape the tools you use. Since then, the trend has gone in the opposite direction. Today’s systems are increasingly locked down, cloud-dependent, and surveillance-driven. With Windows Recall, Microsoft now takes snapshots of your screen every few seconds - a complete memory archive of everything you do. Your computer is no longer your work tool; it’s a sensor you’ve paid to own, but which works for someone else. I use Linux because I want to own everything that happens on my machine. Every single call, every process, every line of code - transparent and controllable. You have root. You control everything. I don’t need permission to change, build, or share. Everything happens on my terms. Linux is the ultimate tool for digital sovereignty. No hidden contracts. No remote decisions. Just raw control, open code, and a community that builds because they can - not because they’re paid to. It’s all about autonomy. About using tools that respect you. About refusing to let your machine become a sensor for global actors. Linux is my choice. And it should be yours too.
