<nettime> The Return of DRM
Morlock Elloi: The Return of DRM:
The idea that what we have on our hands is a nameless self-emergent
system which no one controls, which just happened to spring into the
existence as such, almost like a weak nuclear force, is an old one
(I'm waiting for a new Unified theory - gravity, strong & weak force, [...]

<nettime> The Return of DRM
Morlock Elloi: The Return of DRM:
They do matter, and this is why: imposed/conditoned behaviours, manufactured desires, data collected, patterns discovered and exploited - all these are controlled by a very few and affect many, and those many affect everyone else.
I don't see any GNU people collecting patterns and tracking end users in order to deploy those insights into spreading the GNU-deology. No, they do it 1:1, in a grassroots way, preaching to the choir, ensuring own irrelevance. You don't need to agree with or believe in social engineering on a massive scale to be affected by it, any more than you need to believe in or agree with firearms in order to be shot.
You can not be a comfortable atheist in the land of religious zealots on remote control, which is what iphone rubbing 'tards are. Their attention is captured and tamed, and monitored for deviation (the Inquisition was a very expensive and inefficient way of ensuring compliance.)

what about another scenario?
consider a "generational war-zone" like Italy, where the illiterates are those in power and the "intelligent early adopters" are fed up with their non-sense, most of them emigrating, but still ubiquitous.

consider that there are deep conflicts unfolding - what's most urgent, at least in Eu-rope, is to supersede a neo-fascist KKN elite encrusted around sceptres of idiocracy; to not even mention the bail-out...
do we really care about helping the "powerless tards rubbing iphones" you talk about? they are happy, "they have nothing to hide" and can even be nice to socialize with them sometimes. they can even be experts in different fields, they might even stop circulating spam one day - or we might even reach to spam them with better things... :^)
fact is that digital alphabetization processes follow a "natural" pace, the "solid knowledge" corpus of GNU/Linux/BSD will prevail as is already doing; the situation Florian describes
"Internet industry has efficaciously circumvented copyleft by using Free Software as a productivity stack underneath proprietary cloud/web applications and operating systems"
doesn't exactly consists in a "circumvention": every time we look into an Abyss, the Abyss looks into us - and while this maneuver provided expert labour force to the industry, it also provides better positions for a GNU generation of developers, while their agency increases.
the game is still open, the war is raging for those who can see it and it's not about establishing a new standard or writing a killer app, but using the strategic positioning we've finally acquired.
