We're still here. It's just that the mainsteam picked up on our technology, and now it's a bit harder to find us.

In the old days it was easy. Get into computers, and the internet when it was there, and you would for sure only meet nerds.

Now you mostly meet hipsters.

Just at that early time there was this new field that nobody was really much interested in, but some geeky people were, and that is what united us.

And then we discovered we often shared common causes too, like freedom of information and nerdism.

But now our meeting spaces have been invaded by hipsters making use of the great tools we once created to help each other.

Of course this is not fun, but there is one good thing that might come out of this.

The hipsters might have invaded our spaces, but they are still óúr spaces. We created the fundamentals, and the reason for it's success praises our vision.

Maybe that vision will rub off on the hipsters a little bit, and they get a bit of a feeling of what real freedom is actually all about.

It might take a while, and it will still get worse before it gets better, but we might have set the stage for changing the world.
