> More folks should join us in open mockery of hypocritical whinging from technological robber barons.

I am with you 100% but mockery will not affect their wallets. which is the only thing they care about.

We should mock them because others look to us as the subject matter experts. It’s mirror neurons: if we mock these entities, these companies, as the technical experts we are, and we show others why they’re deserving of such mockery, then they will generally replicate those behaviors.

You’re more likely to laugh at a comedian when everyone else does, even if you don’t get the joke.
