Do what you can, most can stop buying from major chains and buy electronics unrelated to Israel, switch to FOSS software and not watch Eurovision.

Eurovision has always been deeply political, despite their official line.

And I encourage everyone to write to banks and other service providers to provide apks directly or through F-Droid

It’s their main marketing thing.

But they have just become another reselling platform for dropshippers, selling the same plastic garbage you find for cents on AliExpress. Tolerated because selling it simulates growth. Their main competitor, as communicated internally, is Amazon. Those who pushed for cleaning up the site to focus on re-use were sacked.

Doesn’t mean you can still find good stuff there, but local classifieds are still the better choice.

Yes it is, I would just like to encourage the frog to jump out rather than reduce the flame.

ebay is slightly better, but in the end just another publicly traded company that treats their employees like shit.

Happy to help with German. I used to get the LoseIt premium for free but haven’t used it in many years. I just assume it’s a privacy nightmare so haven’t bothered opening it. But I like the concept, just tracking helped me improve my diet and health.

Please also stop adding everyone who is in any email thread to my contacts

I have run into this issue of needing Microslop for school. I’m allowed to use my own hardware if I install their spyware. So I have two setups:

Portable: Win10 on an old lenovo laptop that just runs their tracking software. I can access the sharepoint, outlook and teams with LibreWolf on that machine, if I must.

When at home I have a virtual machine that also runs Win10 for their spyware. I use LibreWolf on fedora for the sharepoint, outlook and teams.

I love Graphene, because I seriously care about privacy. Everything works well but I also wasn’t a fan of having to find Google hardware. Second hand worked and next year I will consider the Motorola that will run Graphene.

Since you insist on Meta and Google Apps, you seem less concerned with hard privacy, so a Fairphone with e/OS could be a great choice. e/OS is nice too, I tried it for a while but found some laps in it’s privacy settings and I did not want to leak any location info to google.

If you don’t like it, you can revert to stock android, no problem.

Good idea actually

Stop buying anything on Amazon

Thanks, this is good to know. I’m in the process of upgrading my media setup and am playing around with Jellyfin to replace Plex. I’ve been reluctant to commit since Plex is easy and I have a lifetime pass, but this data collection is a great reason to finally be done with Plex

I like a burn button, will give ddg a try thx

I’m very happy with libre wolf, what’s good about ddg?
