What if there happened to be an extremely determined individual who’s dream is to change “the human condition?” Sure it will be a losing battle in the beginning, but a battle fought doesn’t determine a war.

Once everyone understands why a little effort can go a very long way, then I’m sure we can all actually change for better; for our future.

I await the day whenever secure, self-hosted services are the norm instead of centralized, proprietary services.
