Self-determination

I’ve spent the whole of the day re-setting and rebuilding my computer.  Windows simply refused to restart.  No reason was given, no error messages, no hint of what might have caused it, just an escalating series of interventions that culminated in a factory reset.

That’s my day gone.  I don’t have a choice.  My laptop is infrastructure.  I need it to work.

Imagine if corporations like Microsoft decided to do that to us on purpose.

It’s easy to miss where power really lies.
