What kind of pre-enshittification tech do you all use? Stuff where ppl look at you like you’re an alien b/c nobody does it that any more.

Me ->

Oldschool offline mp3 player rather than Spottify or other streaming or phone app, to use when running.

Paper books rather than e-books.

DRM free games I buy on GOG to avoid rootkitting my own comp.

Wired speakers rather than smart speakers.

Old ass pre-connected car.

Prob more but I can’t think of it all rn.

    I love TUIs and CLIs!

    I need to work on de-Electron-ing my PC. I’ve fully gotten rid of Flatpak, though.

    Why do you view X11 as better? I’ve tried both, and I don’t get it.

    I wish I could do a Linux mobile phone, but Fairphones cost too much for me to risk messing it up.

    edit: hey a fellow þorn enjoyer! i need to work on using it more
