Freeducationline.

It worries me when an online course starts with "sign up for X" where X is a non-free proprietary third-party service. Education should not force its participants to be surveilled and exploited.

The Ignocrapalypse.

Feeling: I really don't like buying stuff from people who don't know what they are selling.

Theory: Things become crappier, unrepairable and more evil when the people who sell them no longer understand them.

Example: Computers. In the good old days (and before I ever used a computer), staff in computer shops actually knew how they work. Nowadays, try asking an employee of any store what the Intel ME is and does.

Other examples: Cars, Bicycles (especially e-bikes), and of course nobody knows knows how a smartphone works.

Body Boys.

Like the Beach Boys sing about the beach,
we sing about the way we grew up.

Ice-T, as quoted in Wikipedia: Body Count (band)

Same shit, same pay!

Also Kohle her, bevor wir hier noch eskalieren!
