With closed source tech getting worse, the masses will move away from it towards good willed opensource tech. Its inevitable.

Hopping from one proprietary platform to the next is like shopping arround for a kinder slaver who doesn't beat you as much. We can do so much better.

Promote the platforms that respect your rights and freedoms.

Apple and Google are financially wired to squueze you for all you're worth. You are the product. You are the sheep that needs fleeced.

We need tech platforms and solutions that respect us and that are not incentivized to squueze max profit. We all know where the road to maxxing profits leads.

I've been windows-free for more than 5 years, and as soon as I can get a reasonable Motorola Graphene phone, I am out.

I have been deGoogled as much as I reasonably can, and if possible I want to stop rewarding scum companies altogether. I am ever looking for better options.
