Hello.
I thought that maybe post it into the forum of my favorite OS can be interesting so... I'll do it.
On March 2026 I'll noticed that some people (and of course, me) are having problem controlling his own life because ads and big techs are not the best for our freedom.
That's because I started a project called "Internal regulations" and this project started with a regulation called "week without ai" (that's because I had a real addiction to LLMs in a moment and I'd needed some time to think by myself about what I wanted to do and not with LLMs). This regulation finished in two things: I solved my LLM addiction problem and this was fantastic. I started reading manuals to understand things and since I'm curious I learnt things, thing that was both, funny and real good for me, and since when we really learn about things our brain changes phisically I think that I'm more unix-like person (you know, I have a better relationship with unix concepts). I learnt about why I liked development when I was a child. Why I tried to program and why I haven't achieved it. How many I have changed after my time as teenager and what I want to do with my developer life (give other real oportunities to use the brain when they want, and even more, give other the opportunity to learn without AI in some cases).
With time, I started learning more and more about why and where AI are useful and when not (in my opinion... never, but since my background I know that I'm not being fully objective).
Trying to repeat this experience of learning and self-discovering, I understood another thing, since we're using "big techs" plataform for communicate with each others, maybe the big techs can (unintentionaly) modify how we see our life. This is not really a good not bad thing. but maybe disconect for big techs for a while can give us a real opportunity to connect with each others without give or money nor our freedom to others that only want our data and money.
The first week I tried to do this was the "No AI week" of Juny, with good results. First, I started being more active in the discord of this community. Second, I read a whole book (yes, I know it's not much but you know, I'm not the best reader. Third, I started new relationships with new people.
That's because I'm posting this. Maybe this week without big techs (that is more restricted than the last) can be the week when I'll explore new paths on internet and maybe we, the human people, can get real connections, without unnecesary barriers.
I want to finish saying, for people that already knows me from other sites, that I really love human software. Not only for his utility but because is the story of people, people what has put part of his experience, life and feelings in this software. And this, the site when you show yourself to others (feelings, story, feelings, experiences), is called art. And real human software, when is not only created for money (even if you can earn money by do it), is one of the beatifullest kind of art. I promise that, while I can, I'll continue doing this kind of art.
Greetings. Borja.
PS. I'll write a report of fails I have this week. Maybe I'll write in reply to my post if I see it interesting. (maybe only a sumary because can be a bit personal).
