Many are switching away from Big Tech right now.

It is always difficult to come up with every single option. I do mention that I understand that doing everything in one go is not always an option. You just have to select the option most correct for you.

@thesdev , I am just seeing what is happening. A lot of people are moving away from Big Tech.

Vivaldi relies less on Big Tech than most. We do not have deals with Google or Microsoft for search, for example.

@jon I've been working at it a little at a time though some things, like getting away from Android and Apple, are harder to do than I'd like.

@jon One option's lacking: I never joined big tech.

@jon Consider an email service and client.

@jon It's harder and harder to switch to small tech. I'm taking baby steps. Thinking about my desktop OS and Office Suite these days.

@jon Reality is made of shades of gray.

@jon In 2012 I switched from WIN to Ubuntu. Now my wife will also switch to Linux because she forces to switch to win11 because the hardware is not win11 compatible. The hardware is working without problems.

Unfortunately, in the case of smartphones there is no alternative to Big Tech.

@jon Switching as much as possible but to be able to work and stay connected with friends/groups, society is ”forcing” me to keep fb, messenger, instagram, linkedin and youtube

@jon I’m thinking more of building a life that the internet means absolutely nothing to. Some land near the Canadian border, lots of trees good cover. Might obscure us enough from the black hawks and apaches. Thank god I’ll have my trusty Walmart ar15 to shoot at them to reveal my cover and become Swiss cheese.
