Stop using Google.

And Microsoft. And Apple. And Amazon. And every single corporation that cares more about money and stealing people's privacy than serving you.

...like AMD and Intel and nVidia and ARM and Apple and Qualcomm?

Oh wait.

Yep!

It's all trash these days. We're having to just avoid the worst of it while preparing for the rest of it to also suck so bad that we have to find even more alternatives, and then just throw our computers away at the end or at least go back to computing where it wasn't all about stealing data, long, long ago.

I get where you're coming from, but I also feel like I might get kind of bored and I wonder how I'm going to get that hot sauce from Alabama that I like. I'll give up on a lot of my ideals and trade a LOT of frustration for artisanal hot sauces.

Get to know people in the hot sauce community (it exists!) and then you can ask person-to-person!

So, do you suggest just not using computers altogether?

Getting some cheap Nokia for the cellphone and be done with it? (Ig a refurbished IBM ThinkPad with FOSS on it is also fine)

[–] the_doktor@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Old computers, Free OSes. No mobile devices, not even old shitphones. Bring back payphones.
