In this very special episode of The Lunduke Big Tech Show well tackle a big, giant pile of the biggest problems in modern computing. What they are and, even more importantly, how we can approach fixing them (or at least dealing with them).

Some of the issues we tackle:

Ads plastered all over every website and even our operating systems.

The vanishing freedom to install any software we want on our computers.

Surveillance and personal privacy.

The growing dependency on Internet connectivity for even the simplest tasks.

Big Tech influence on Tech Journalism.

Manipulation by The Algorithm.

Software bloat and lack of originality in modern software.

Some easier to deal with than others. But all worth discussing.
