      Isn’t there something also about expressing oneself in here? With the limited freedoms society gives our bodies and behaviours, hacking our hardware to get it to do as we please is a form of liberty, and of self-expression. With a healthy dose of show-them-the-middle-finger to everything oligarchic, capitalistic and conservative that dominates the world around us.

      That, of course, with the desperately needed privacy on top.
