"I’ve previously discussed how I modified my PlayStation 4 to give me control over the hardware I own. Sony has been increasingly anti-consumer. Not to be undone, Microsoft requires linking a Microsoft account to a Sony account for gamers who want to play the first Halo game released for PlayStation, even in single-player mode. Sony is also requiring customers purchase additional PlayStation accounts simply to play local, split-screen multiplayer. These increasingly terrible decisions make me glad I took the time to learn how to liberate my PlayStation 5."

"I haven’t been playing a whole lot of games lately. Over the past year I finished two titles on my PlayStation 4. The first was the narrative walking adventure Firewatch, and the second was the relaxing turn-based puzzle game Hitman Go. To finish things out, I took a trip down memory lane and played the raunchy 1990s classic Leisure Suit Larry 6: Shape Up or Slip Out! using ScummVM on Linux. It was a good mix of relaxing and engaging games with varying degrees of puzzles and story."

"Although I’ve bought some digital titles on PC (via Steam, GoG and other stores) and a few titles on a very old PS Vita, starting with my PlayStation 4 Pro, I decided to only purchase games on physical discs. Same with my Switch and PlayStation 5. Last year I purchased Hogwarts Legacy for the PS5 and was horrified, after playing the introduction, that an Internet connection was required to download the actual game. It was clearly written on the box. I had missed it, and now I could no longer return the game. I kept my consoles disconnected from the Internet, and the frustration with Hogwarts Legacy was the final straw I needed to push me toward finally liberating my PlayStation 4."

"This year we’ve seen cracks in Windows 11 BitLocker, VeraCrypt developers losing their ability to distribute their software on Windows, and Apple removing encryption support from the HFS+ filesystem. We’ve also seen some cases where public outcry and awareness were able to reverse some of the corporate decisions that removed the freedom of users to run secure software. There was a time when people in tech stood against government mandated keys under doormats. Yet in today’s surveillance age, every big company seems like a willing participant in the coming technocracy."
