"I find the discussions about technical matters to be liberating and self-empowering, and I identify as “non-technical”. To be sincere, it was in the slow accumulation of technical knowledge and skills that I became excited about the future again. […] This feels antithetical to how people approach the internet today, but I don’t think that’s the case for the future."

Damn, those parentheses really do throw off Mastodon. Let's try this: https://coolguy.website/writing/the-future-will-be-technical/background%28%29.html

"The present moment is one where companies are obscuring the depth of their technical processes to quietly profit off surveillance, oppression, and depression. The future is one where technology is reclaimed by everyone; it is open and welcoming and asking to be built by hand. I want us to grow towards that future with everything we share." https://coolguy.website/writing/the-future-will-be-technical/background%28%29.html
I'm liking this manifesto already.
