In the heart of the bustling tech city of Neo-Silicon Valley, Indy was known not just for his brilliant coding skills but also for his fervent advocacy against the increasing surveillance imposed by the state. As a lead developer at a prominent software company, he had been the brains behind numerous open-source tools designed to protect individual privacy. This had earned him admirers and enemies in equal measure. One foggy evening, as streetlights flickered overhead, Indy was cornered in a narrow alleyway by the police. They had been monitoring him for months, their excuse being his involvement in "seditious activities," although in truth, it was his software that had scrambled the state's spying algorithms. “Indy, you are under arrest for the creation and distribution of illegal anti-surveillance software,” the lead officer declared, his voice echoing off the grimy walls. Indy, realizing the gravity of the situation, protested, "This is wrong! My programs are meant to protect people’s freedoms, not threaten them!" But his pleas fell on deaf ears. The officers moved in, their grips tightening around his arms with unnecessary force. As they restrained him, one of the officers sneered, "Why don’t you code your way out of this, genius?" The others laughed, the sound harsh and jarring in the quiet street. Indy, struggling to free himself, gasped for breath and yelled, "I CAN'T CODE through brute force!" But his voice was muffled as an officer pressed his face against the cold ground. A bystander, hidden in the shadows, recorded the whole incident. Indy's cries were clear and heartbreaking: "I CAN'T CODE," he repeated, a desperate plea that he knew no amount of programming acumen could save him from physical power run amok. The video went viral. "I CAN'T CODE" became a rallying cry for those who saw the growing encroachment of state surveillance and police brutality as a direct threat to their personal liberties and safety. Protests erupted, not just in Neo-Silicon Valley but around the world, as people from all walks of life voiced their dissent against oppressive regimes and the misuse of technology.
