      <title>The Mind Is A Stateless Machine</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fkq3xhw7q57rvfosu675z.jpg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fkq3xhw7q57rvfosu675z.jpg" alt="Image description" width="800" height="369"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;the mind is a stateless machine similar to a flash storage devices.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;primarily most relate to the brain as the entirety of ones bio-organic anatomical layout. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;beyond that; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;something between  light photons and fractal atoms lost in sequence &lt;br&gt;
...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;as time is an illusion; concurrency is far less of a theory than it is a pure state; in comparison to relativity of space, air &amp;amp; time...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;given that; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;with the information and technology at disposal, &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;the largest terrorist group known to the this planet, your government...a.k.a (DEEP_SATE) - 3,5, F/inger letter agencies are responsible for the anomalies &amp;amp; outcomes of what this technology is capable of.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I happen to be sharing my experience as an individual. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;as a result: from what is predefined as bio-hacking, gene-reverse-engineering or better known as human cloning; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;these BCI (Biological Computer Interface) computer/bio-hacking technology is typically used for criminal extortion, (a known form of human trafficking) on in-aware subjects. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;BCI (brain computer interface) are able tpo hi-jack and force the entire bio-organic state of ones body into any perception that can be imposed on &lt;br&gt;
 victim. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ironically; the solution to stopping this level of bio-logical attack is &lt;br&gt;
 cannabis! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Reason being, Cannabis restore the last snapshot of your chromosome pairs (DNA) into real-time, compared to static-relativity based on intermediary environments. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With that said; the largest target of this level on mind-experiment research  is predominantly descendent of afro-chromematic background (BLACK_PEOPLE).  __________________&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;How we view the world around us and within us...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Therefore;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;the trending pattern becomes:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What is a repetitive theme across all the subjects of atomic? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;permission-less systems are only able to surface in this current age today; as it is: &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;, far more than what was hidden away from our true awareness...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Modern surveillance (big-brother)  is a part to blame in regards to what is obvious about: &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;How is this all being main topic of discussion when the system controllers are asking for a piece of the pie to the very ones that are sick of what the former ways of living without blockchain technology...&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>A Promising Vision For Redefining The Way People Build...</title>
      <dc:creator>player 0</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Mon, 23 Dec 2024 14:20:02 +0000</pubDate>

      <guid>https://dev.to/vonthecreat0r/a-promising-vision-for-redefining-the-way-people-build-51je</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;a promising vision for redefining the way people build and use open, permission-less networks&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Trust is the premises of permission-less networks &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Integrity with reoccurring timestamps (temper-proof from eavesdroppers)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Verity is based on legibility from origin; (consensus is manipulate-able; the former isn't...)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Weights are based on origin + accordance with the general populace @timep_stamp_here = final output. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Source code should be reverse-able; while remaining void of (non-fungible -&amp;gt; "intellectual property")&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Intrusion is detected when verity via the permission-less system returns ERROR! (-ADDR_VOID_AUTH-)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

      <title>Why is No-one Talking about Nim-lang?</title>
      <dc:creator>player 0</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Wed, 20 Mar 2024 18:43:45 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/vonthecreat0r/why-is-no-one-talking-about-nim-lang-3389</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/vonthecreat0r/why-is-no-one-talking-about-nim-lang-3389</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;This is far more promising than Rust, Zig or Golang for common application abstraction purposes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  What is Nim you ask?
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A systems programming language that types like python and feel like Ada &amp;amp; Pascal combined...The benefit to this is that it allows dynamic and highly expressive source code that is both easy to read and elegant to work with...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  How Does it work?
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Essentially you can either do a compile to C (default), Objective-C, C++ or Javascript. From here; you nim source code is either compiled or interpreted (Javascript) to run on any machine that nim is installed.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>#3 The Hacker Mindset Playbook: Intuitively self-aware systems, with anatomical basis of origin</title>
      <dc:creator>player 0</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Sun, 26 Nov 2023 07:18:58 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/vonthecreat0r/3-the-hacker-mindset-playbook-intuitively-self-aware-systems-with-anatomical-basis-of-origin-115n</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/vonthecreat0r/3-the-hacker-mindset-playbook-intuitively-self-aware-systems-with-anatomical-basis-of-origin-115n</guid>
      <description>&lt;h4&gt;
  
  
  Input &amp;amp; Output...
&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Communication it's self is vulnerable yet the it is the very medium of formal exchange on any given instance to verify system that interacts with given subject. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Typically the message is what is regarded as key details. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However, if we implement the intent of the message it can &lt;br&gt;
solidify and help us avoid system manipulation. As it is; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;the message being received is being processed for validation &lt;br&gt;
of subjective comprehension. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For instance:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;when you speak to someone;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;if you ever read anything on psychology,&lt;br&gt;
you comprehend very well that:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Body language is far more important (meta-data =&amp;gt; content of data.) than what is actually being told. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A result of most cyber attacks is based on systems that lack intuitive design with imperative approach. Yes, most modern system are somewhat dynamic; yet still lack the intuitiveness of what I am attempting to coin as way of designing software that matches our current reality...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When you look at philosophy, psychology &amp;amp; history; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;they're are trends that we can spot across the board: &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;solvency for ambiguity...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;



&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  What is the meaning of all this?
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Our external realities have advanced far more than our internal cognitive level of how we view the world around us and within us...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Therefore; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;the trending pattern becomes:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is a repetitive theme across all the subjects of atomic matter?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Psychology, History, Philosophy are all the same given that they are all trying to express how &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;we dynamically evolve across chronological sequential change of events and relatively subjection to different enviroments. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Subjective reaction is the common theme across all these 3 subjects.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When you apply this way of thinking in attempt and figure what &lt;br&gt;
are the weakness of any system you may intend to break-into:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Why&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Where &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Who &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;When&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;are the building blocks to apply (in reverse) the same method of resolving for ambiguity of any given system; using the example above.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Building on-top of the example above:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are beings that follow the same pattern when we&lt;br&gt;
forego breaking out of said pattern of behavior. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Therefore,&lt;br&gt;
all communicative systems that rely on external reception &amp;amp; internal reception are subject to manipulation; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;especially if the given system lacks self-awareness &amp;amp; proactive intuition...and none-chronological evolutionary lifecycle.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hence the saying within cyber-security circles: &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"It is never a matter of if Hackers will get in, rather a case of when they do..."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A highly robust system is one that has a level of &lt;br&gt;
self-awareness that is:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;intuitive, proactively &amp;amp; constantly (a moving target) &lt;br&gt;
evolving without predictable (trend pattern with basis of origin on an macro scale) + none-chronological evolutionary life-cycle.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However, &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;as that is the case; most modern system are very much the opposite&lt;br&gt;
of what I stated earlier;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Given that: &lt;br&gt;
they mainly rely on principles that are outdated and highly predictable &lt;br&gt;
in their evolutionary life-cycle. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Authenticity is the point of failure in any system that depends on &lt;br&gt;
reception. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Yet, &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;it is the very thing that is required &lt;br&gt;
for these systems to do what they do absolutely. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;what would resolve this issue?&lt;br&gt;
Again like I said:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;evolving without a chronological pattern, while imperatively &lt;br&gt;
being aware of self beyond any given scope of subject matter you may inquire of given system, is the solution...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When you combine a creative approach and ingenuity while &lt;br&gt;
implementing any given details of system from a perspective of timelessness on any system,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;the chances of a break-in reduce close to null.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>#2 The Hacker Mindset Playbook: Intuitively self-aware systems, with anatomical basis of origin</title>
      <dc:creator>player 0</dc:creator>

      <link>https://dev.to/vonthecreat0r/2-the-hacker-mindset-playbook-intuitively-self-aware-systems-with-anatomical-basis-of-origin-1mkg</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/vonthecreat0r/2-the-hacker-mindset-playbook-intuitively-self-aware-systems-with-anatomical-basis-of-origin-1mkg</guid>
      <description>&lt;h4&gt;
  
  
  Specs
&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Temporarily disable specific scopes (anything with critical details) until subject(s) builds their trust(how verifiable are the logs &amp;amp; everything with their digital foot-print in relation to the platform?).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Repeated interactions with high-score validation at&lt;br&gt;
at the invocation of new session (sessions that spool without failure) unlocks all other scopes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The system is intuitive &amp;amp; self-aware that it can update it's self based on a system where it constantly checks for 0day exploits relative to it's code-base &amp;amp; design.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The way to build functional system like this is to create it in a modular way; so that way it is easy to decouple and breakdown the more complex components that may need to be implemented with AI/Ml.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;



&lt;h4&gt;
  
  
  finally:
&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;combine this with a monolithic user interface that is intuitively designed to &lt;br&gt;
reveal specific details based on the premises stated above... &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Where if there's failure or suspicion of at any given moment based on above&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;parameters: the system immediately disables scopes/features that &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;may lead to breach. Granted this example is universally applicable &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;to central, de-centralized &amp;amp; distributed system. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Of course this can beyond the given relative awareness of what I stated.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Otherwise, &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Systems designed with this nature are way more of a challenge to break as they are more variable scopes of moving parts that have a singular basis of origin that evolve none-chronologically; while being imperatively self aware on&lt;br&gt;
every level in the event of system tempering. &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>#1 The Hacker Mindset Playbook: Intuitively self-aware systems, with anatomical basis of origin</title>
      <dc:creator>player 0</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Sun, 26 Nov 2023 07:00:51 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/vonthecreat0r/the-hacker-mindset-playbook-intuitively-self-aware-systems-with-anatomical-basis-of-origin-4eko</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/vonthecreat0r/the-hacker-mindset-playbook-intuitively-self-aware-systems-with-anatomical-basis-of-origin-4eko</guid>
      <description>&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Systems void of traceability at micro level; comprehensible at the macro level, point of observation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Self sustained systems (void of direct externalization) are more difficult to break-in&lt;br&gt;
based on the following: in order to break in you have to&lt;br&gt;
subvert their medium of exchange (communication). &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When this system can be self-aware enough to run lock down subroutines; we'd consider it a smart piece of software...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What about the a-typical system that is designed from a static perspective despite having dynamic features?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Any other system that is none-self aware is&lt;br&gt;
far more easier to break into given they are designed on the&lt;br&gt;
principal of centralization, dependent on external validation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These systems solely rely on the authenticity of external&lt;br&gt;
subjects against their own model of relative authenticity...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What happens when their own authenticity is compromised by the external subject(s) pretending to be an authentic user?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Very quickly you start to see the loop-holes in most central systems; they can be easily exploited, even by the external subject augmenting their intent as authentic against the validator.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Simply put: anything dependent on reception can be easily broken into; no matter how complex you build it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A system built on the need for reciprocation (validation) is guaranteed to be exploitable.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What if they was a way to validate systems without the need for external/direct exchange?&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Solution: The Self-Aware, Intuitive, Dynamic, Self-Updating System
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;None-verbose, succinct validation from both parties using escrow-like medium for validation.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Validation for resolve is based on signature in relation to incoming traffic by subject(s) via escrow-like medium.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Each subject has unique variable detail make-up:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Authentication is a dynamic algorithm based on signature generated via profile of variable detail makeup using machine learning.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Successful authentication: using  signal match (external &amp;amp; internal) references from profile; parsed through a blind escrow-like system.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Self-updating &amp;amp; intuitive system for cyber threat detection...&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If mismatch happens at any step of process; access scopes to specific parts of system are immediately disabled; similar to iPhone incorrect password lock down feature&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;
  
  
  Ideal End Result:
&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In technical terms this would be essentially combining&lt;br&gt;
machine learning, a creative &amp;amp; imperative design that&lt;br&gt;
aligns with the very same ways we interact on a humane level: intuitively with intent-ful action.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The final result is a self-aware system that behaves dynamically &amp;amp; intuitively as if a human being was operating it in real-time.&lt;/p&gt;

      <guid>https://dev.to/vonthecreat0r/public-opinion-fck-vscode-use-this-instead-5bh0</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;So based on my current setup: &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;running Debian on a Chromebook tablet with unofficially supported graphical drivers; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I kept running into a situation where the other markdown editor app I was using before kept freezing the entire system GUI. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Given that is the case. I ended doing a little research and finding out that the current text editor that I once started with from my first time programming, already had the exact same feature as the markdown editor I was using for document writing. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Therefore; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I ended up simply searching, "MarkdownLivePreview" within sublime text (version 3, still using trial version; looking to purchase the full license evntaully...) and came across the very solution to my problem. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Given that the sublime text editor is a full blown text editor with many capabilities...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have used VScode before; and frankly, due to the telementary issues and the over-hype of it, &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I find that alone can make it a major target for any that may want to ship malicious code disguised as a VScode extension. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you are someone that spends countless hours working with code or writing markdown documents; I highly recommend sublime-text as a solution; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Reason(s) being that:
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is made by a solo dev who knows what they are doing; given it's been around for a while and is still able to compete with a full-blown, cooperate owned alternative(s) (VScode, and many other alike..)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cross-platform; Heck, this thing can even run on a ARM Chromebook that I hacked into running Debian (Duet 2 using &lt;a href="https://github.com/Maccraft123/Cadmium" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;cadmium&lt;/a&gt; distro) without a hustle. All other editors I tried, including VScode where too heavy for the GPU and the specs and it would just freeze.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Giving back and appreciating well designed software. I am unable to stress this enough: With the current age we are in where even software has become hyper-polarized &amp;amp; political; the best thing to do is sticking to tried and tested methods that are non-opinionated...&lt;strong&gt;Sublime-text is a no-bullshit editor&lt;/strong&gt;; it does as expected by the developer without getting in your way or assuming things. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That's all. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  TLDR;
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;
  
  
  F*ck VSCODE!
&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"I never signed up for 1984; keep your surveillance capitalism at a distance"! Support your fellow peers in the software community that are actually pushing real software with positive intent; rather than supporting the very same systems that once grew from the hands of passionate individuals that simply wanted to share their talent with the world, now being called &lt;a href="https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2023/im-done-red-hat-enterprise-linux" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;"freeloaders"&lt;/a&gt; by the very entities/organizations that once praised them for their attributions &amp;amp; contribution to the community of opensource development.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The future of computing &amp;amp; opensource depends on each of you: what you support and how it impacts your surrounding enviroment and daily life. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Choose wisely.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Americas Confidence In Big-Tech: Where We Are Headed.</title>
      <dc:creator>player 0</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Tue, 24 Oct 2023 22:03:50 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/vonthecreat0r/americas-confidence-in-big-tech-where-we-are-headed-20ab</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/vonthecreat0r/americas-confidence-in-big-tech-where-we-are-headed-20ab</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I was on hacker news scrolling reading through and across a title: &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.brookings.edu/articles/how-americans-confidence-in-technology-firms-has-dropped-evidence-from-the-second-wave-of-the-american-institutional-confidence-poll/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;"America's confidence in technology firms has dropped" &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;and figured I'd give my perspective, after reading a user comment: &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"OP has a point - the incentives for tech companies are profoundly fucked right now. We need to get the profit motives aligned with the good of society."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here's the thing: &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The people's digital lives have been weaponized due to lack of respect by big tech and lack of demand for morale towards big tech by general users.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As a result:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We've come at crossing roads where it seems as though the only choice for users is to either double down on the ecosystem(s) that they are using or opt-in for an opensource alternative.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;there's a little problem: the average user barely comprehends what a command line is, let alone the stereotype(s) pushed by mainstream media where most associate Linux/UNIX with a system for hackers or tech-savvy individuals; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;it has created tensions and stress for ones heavily invested in either one of the FANG Eco-systems(s). &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Therefore,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I propose: if opensource developer community and individuals alike, come together and organize systems that directly fund either individual/teams of developers creating said alternative;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;we have a chance at breaking out of exile from these invasive practices being pushed on the public by big tech.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That being said...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;First, the individuals have to all agree on a general direction and compartmentalize each project, while designating it for a specific scope (mobile/stationary/cloud/offline/etc...).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For instance: I grew up using Apple products, I even worked at their retail stores. My only gripe in general of how Apple is handling things is their current vision and organization of doing things.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;They've traded the end-user for more capital. Part of it, I blame on users for demanding a new product every quarter; creating constant  need for unending hype every season. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As a result, this has caused innovation to dwindle; while it's never just Apple facing this current problem, &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;other FANG big tech companies like Google are dealing with similar dilemma: &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"How can we make more from the user?"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You know Google is an ad company that gets it's user analytics from the search engine (which has also been weaponized), so I'm never shocked by their current practices. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Another factor, &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ease-of-access and scalability has caused hardware innovation stagnancy by big tech; despite emerging markets making progress irrespective of current trends. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Innovation by big tech has been replaced with incremental optimizations marketed as "Brand New". &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Based on this, it is why you keep seeing the same product(s) with a different name and a big ticket price using base specs of previous model(s). Let alone, the attempted cover-up with more line-up options... &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If the average user became more self competent; these trends may eventually fade...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As it is: &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;without competence, users are going to keep getting taken advantage of. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm never saying you should know the chip inside your phone, how many memory busses it has or the hardware addresses of each component;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;thought it does pay a long way to know the basic difference between the newer model compared to previous one(s), in order to prevent companies from selling the same rebranded product. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I mean,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"I thought they where talking about reducing e-waste and carbon footprint; yet the same few key players are doing opposite"?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For instance, &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I personally (my own view) think there was no reason for the iPhone14 or 15. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When you really look closely and dial the clock back and observe one of Apple's core values they're known for: &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;optimization...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To them it would have been as simple as: "Hey, we are no longer releasing the next 2 generations of iPhone; instead we are going to focus on optimization of the current line-up..." &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This would've likely built further trust between end-user and vendor and likely increased their revenue for digital products/services. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Even then, &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;a real ground-breaking iPhone would be way more likely to sale like the first 4s, had they taken this approach compared to what is currently going on: recycling same parts while doing partial upgrades. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It's now up to the people to decide where the future of technology is headed. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The days of being spoon-fed are over. We've learned what this can do (surveillance capitalism, anti-competitive practices, cyber attacks, mass censorship, etc..) more or less. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The opportunity is now to see what trends emerge from innovation empowered directly by the people instead of letting the few big players decide for us. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Part of what is stopping this is lack of agreement (currently we are too disorganized to make any real change) on general goals of what we intend to accomplish as the users of their product(s).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I watched Google come up with a bootstrap (Chrome OS) operating system forked from Gentoo Linux, that is now likely to be a worthy competitor of the current options on market. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile the rest of opensource community specific to Linux; is yet to decide on base standard(s) for everyday computing are.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Linux has been around for a while,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;but yet the current standard for a desktop interface, is MIA (missing in action). Instead the user has to go out there and source it on the own. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Further more, they have to also do prior research in order to find what works for their use case. Let alone, digging through forums to see if their component(s) is going to be compatible with their custom setup, including hardware. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In other words: &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;if the surface part of opensource Linux/UNIX becomes  more user-friendly and the useless developer politics drops to a manageable level: the future or personal computing may likely be in the hands of the people, instead of dictation by few hands motivated by increasing share-holder portfolios.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Keep in mind: &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I got nothing against co-operations, I am simply stating they has to be a balance. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Unless, big tech can be tasked with the heavier more detailed parts of personal computing like hardware manufacturing or digital infrastructure management, while being held accountable for their actions:  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Maybe then we'd see more innovation in a progressive direction. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Therefore, &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;until the people start to come together and agree on specific standards while leaving room to continue the research and development of opensource technologies (or what Linux/UNIX has always been known for): the same questions will go unanswered and big tech will keep abusing it's users. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Yes, the world may be going through turbulence at the moment; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;but I believe there's no moment like now to come together and at least agree on the basics, before we keep heading down a questionable path. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Open source is great and is one of the most direct way to get into computing at low risk without prior qualification. For this same reason is also why it ought to be handled delicately and imperatively: &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;we are entering an age of personalized solutions that require molecularity &amp;amp; flexibility. I'm reluctant to say that big tech knows what's best for everyone based on this direction. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The ball is the people's hand; now we decide how things play out. &lt;/p&gt;
