Feudalism is all about the oaths, and economies based mostly on fixed relationships and obligations rather than money. And fiat government decentralised to an extraordinary degree.

Very alien to our times, in a way the Roman world, or ancient China, is not.

Your experiences with closed-source hardware and software are sadly common, and why I'm such a #FOSS maxi! (Selling my newest car over this)

State-centered crony capitalism sucks, whether its FB today or "company towns" of the Depression-era United States.

Oh you've noticed your new car acting in ways you don't like too? I assumed I couldn't be the only one but I don't hear people talking about it. It's actually my nostr based apps it tries to connect to first over YouTube or Spotify and that is why it bothers me. I go through my phone and turn them off before turning the car on.

My new car is on a novated lease, because the government throws money at you to buy EVs that way. So it's mine for three years at which point I hope to sell it for a profit once we consider how much of my weekly costs are covered by tax savings and not buying fuel. Until legislation changes make EV ownership too annoying, I consider it an asset. Just one I can't really relax around.
