             that's confused. Semiconductor manufacturing was always
     controlled by the same corrupt and despicable 'private'-government
     mafia. You can still assemble stuff but you have to get the
     components from govcorp (as always).

   Well, at the start a transistor was just a doped crystal that couldn't
   turn your poodle into a trojan on its own.

     >same for AI: used to be you could innovate on your own, but now it
     takes research teams at large organizations with deep pockets.
             there's no such thing as 'artficial intelligence' - The term
     is one of the most stupid examples of brain-dead marketing ever.

   I can debug computer programs.  I respond to text messages to my google
   voice number, 1 207 518 8256.  I am also on Signal and Telegram, but
   could use a reminder to check them.

             bottom line : technical garbage was always and still is
     controlled by the enemy.

   Conflict is the enemy.  Its parts include censorship, ignorance, and
   reputation.
   Around 2014 I ran into a use of human trafficking by law enforcement
   and something else, to manipulate activists and harm their communities.
   I experienced extensive torture and brainwashing to force me into
   silence.
   I am still re-experiencing that.
