    This writer seems like a proper neck beard. I 100% agree with most of what they say, but this feels like it’s straight out of 4chann

      It Cory Doctorow

      He does a lot of work as special advisor for EFF and also know for the invention of the word Enshittification

      He’s very anti-DRM, so much that he doesn’t sell his books on Amazon, because they refuse to sell them DRM free

      He’s always worth a listen, for instance on This week in tech

        Also, he blogs from a high altitude balloon.

        Yeah, I’d rather not if he talks like he writes. Again, I am fully on board with his message, but he writes like someone who doesn’t know how to have a conversation with another person.

          He has an interesting blogging format as he automatically splits his posts and shares them on microblogging instances. That explains the weird staccato prose.

            I’d probably write in a staccato style as well, if I was blogging from a high altitude balloon.

        He might be, but I still get unpleasant vibes from how he writes.

      He is the nerdiest of the nerds, but I wouldn’t call him a neckbeard.

      I met him once. Very nice guy.

      He is the nerdiest nerd ever. That’s why he’s long seen what is going on and has been trying to save us.

      So what? Software freedom is more of a meritocracy than most things (but not entirely). They had Richard freaking Stallman who eats his toenails while giving lectures.
