    They are at war against ownership (not raspberry pi org, but the general oligarchy). It’s the next step coming after “every software is a cloud service subscription”. We are heading towards the “you can’t own a computer, just rent one from the cloud”. In this day and age, computers are necessary, for everything, for education, public services, employment, entertainment. Once we have to pay taxes to the Lords in order to have access to our mean of substance, we are essentially in a new era of feudalism.

      One could call it “technofeudalism”.

      That’s exactly where this is headed. Modern day slavery. They take away the usability of offline devices so we only use their devices to use their apps and work for their companies, and anyone trying to circumvent this (VPNs, refusing Age Verification, Piracy, FOSS) gets visited by the technofeudalists’ friends at ICEstapo.
