I have been learning and building Linux, SYS-admin work, AI and general networking for some months now.

Seeing how disconnected my friends and family are from technology worries me.

My parents and grandparents struggle to open and navigate websites and apps, understand things like QR codes and AI, and just generally avoid technology whenever they can.

My friends struggle with not giving Amazon, google and Microsoft every piece of telemetry and choose convenience over self sovereignty at every opportunity.

The more I learn, the more I am worried that people aren’t more aware of how much control and abuse goes on in technology, and the disconnect will only get worse and worse.
