»Linux-Anteil steigt, allerdings auf tiefem Niveau:
Gemäss einer Kundendaten-Auswertung von Lansweeper ist der Linux-Anteil seit Jahresbeginn um fast 20 Prozent angestiegen. Für die Entwicklung sollen weniger das Support-Ende von Windows 10, denn vielmehr steigende Sicherheitsbedürfnisse ausschlaggebend sein.«

This reveals the hollowness of institutions, the superficiality with which supposedly democratic and humanistic societies approach the essence of their constitutions and social contracts.
Sobering reality, yet we must face the magnitude of the challenge.

The pattern is unmistakable:
Reddit killed third-party apps with API pricing.
Twitter gutted developer access.
Meta continues tightening platform control.
Big Tech's endgame isn't serving users—it's controlling them.
The antidote?

Own your infrastructure 
Own your digital future
