The "But Why?" of Digital Sovereignty
Every time I spend my weekend researching obscure forks and implementing complex local workflows, someone asks: "But why? The mainstream tools are so much easier."

Our accountant just changed their invoice tracking software to a "web app" that looks suspiciously like a late '90s Java app compiled into web assembly which only works in Chrome.
It had a whole install process with progress bars and everything.
