Every day we stray farther from the premise that we should be allowed to install / modify software on the computers we own.

Will once again re-up the concept of a “right to root access”, to prevent big corps from pulling this bs over and over again: https://medhir.com/blog/right-to-root-access

There is no chance that we own our computers unless we figure out how to setup chip manufacturing factories at the 10 million dollar price point.

Without commoditized hardware, big capital will surely be in control of software.

We live in a world where the top chip makers are being shaken down by the US government to keep access to markets because embargoes and tariffs. And where software developers have to have a live feed of what every user is doing to Brussels or be arrested.

Too much capitalism isn't our problem.

Sounds like if US citizens hope for that, we can get it.
