You may be playing into their hands...
Your rig is how you communicate with the world - via unbreakable encryption if you choose to. It's your source of information from sources of your choice more than theirs. It's a route to be heard by your friends beyond your local neighborhood.
Yeah, big platform social media is a cess pit. Your rig is your portal to be a force against that tide. No, one pebble on the beach won't stop it, but a billion pebbles?
I hear what you're saying. But as of right now, I have no interest in any of it. The minute I start my workday, I'm already looking forward to turning everything off so I can go do something else. This whole digital information economy is repulsive to me.
I get it... I've been fortunate to be in a sort of "feel good" tech industry (medical devices) - and my current post is pretty low stress, light management touch which is really nice. People getting wound up about shipping on a particular day regardless of whether the product is ready or not and all that unregulated software jazz can be a real downer.
