I just watched Cory Doctorow's speech at 39C3.

I just watched Cory Doctorow's speech at 39C3.

It was passionate, complex, insightful, scary, yet hopeful. I'm a little irked at the massive run-on sentences that require rewinding to understand, but the frustration and dedication come through in spades.

I learned a lot about the power Seattle and Silicon Valley have over governments. And the authoritarian initiatives use this to great affect.

I'm off American tech, I am using open source/FOSS-based OSs and programs, I donate to all the indies I use, yet it doesn't feel like enough.

Brilliant. Thought-provoking. Enraging. It feels like the start of something bigger.
