If the computer is a prosthetic (and it is) then this means we legitimately have to be careful about what software we run, because we are deciding what to make part of our selves, part of our minds

My family (including me) is Apple-pilled, and it upsets me how much we shape our thinking around the limitations of these devices. I notice some of it, but almost certainly not all of it.

yeah, bodily autonomy should extend to our personal devices. we should have full control of all of our devices, with no "but"s. access to full source code with a free software license, able to install whatever we want and do whatever we want with it

@mcc I've never heard anyone labeling a computer a prosthetic that is incredible.

Delegating your creativity to a machine is an amputation.
