@JenJen@mastodon.art taking this serious for a moment, I think there's a big problem to overcome that is not just tech-elitism or gatekeeping, but the very core of how our society is structured. noone can know and do everything, so we're depending on each other, and our economic system is based on extracting wealth from that dependency. so, proprietary OSs are "easy" to use by design while linux for example doesn't really want to be easy. linux being or becoming easy is an uphill battle. @feff@comicscamp.club

@JenJen@mastodon.art and being honest with myself I am absolutely one of those linux bros that has a hard time really understanding why almost noone would switch. on some level anyway. on other levels I'm very aware that most people do not want to have to understand how computers work beyond what they actually need or want to do with them. the way windows and mac do it is promising an easy experience and then making you depend on their stuff and so on.
