I came up with this a couple minutes ago. I think its funny and maybe helpful? Please be gentle. Have a good one.
- You shall not join corporate social media
- You shall not subject your children to predatory marketing techniques
- You shall spend up to 10% extra to shop locally or with small companies, more if you can
- You shall voice your support for fairness, equality and against bullying wherever you go
- You shall not think of living things in hierarchical order (x is better than y)
- You shall not compromise freedom and privacy for comfort or “sAfEtY”
- You shall pay techy friends for their help - at least in food
- You shall install an ad blocker
- You shall not praise big tech, proprietary products or IP law.
- You shall not use proprietary software if a good FOSS alternative exists
Ouch, number one hits hard. Sure, I don’t personally use predatory marketing techniques on my kids [edit: or other people’s kids either!] but I don’t know how to fully protect them from others that do so.
After that hit of existential guilt your other dictums seem easy! 😆
