  • Trump’s election is what did it for me. That and Reddit’s user experience had become so watered down with slop and bad content presentation in general. I’ve unsubscribed from Amazon, no Paypal, deleted Facebook, stopped using Gmail mostly (still working on that), deleted Instagram, stopped watching CNN, stopped allowing tracking and fingerprinting as much as possible. If your site tracks, I’m using another unless it is reasonable for the application.

    Since then, on my phone, I use FOSS browser, NextDNS, Eternity for Lemmy, Pixelfed and Mastodon. For all my searching, I started using Swisscows, but now I am searching with SearxNG. Also, I am trying Proton, Tutanota, and kollabnow for email. Got Arch Linux on laptop because Microsoft tracking and snooping is so far out of control it should be illegal 50 different ways.

    Fuck those techbros. This is now our civic duty.









  • No, I need to kick balls because I need to buy multiple sets of tools instead of one, and if you’re integrating systems, and another engineer didn’t read the unit requirements, shit doesn’t work and we have to stop and troubleshoot. Check the other conversions. If I asked you how many feet in a mile or slugs in gravity, can you tell me off the top of your head? Nobody wants to stop and look up crap to get stuff done. What is 12C in F? Who the fuck knows. Do I need a sweater on my trip? Let me go back and find my phone to see. Oh shit it’s not charged. Let me open my laptop because some fuckass with balls intact decided to troll everyone with arbitrary bullshit.
