Comment on: I Tried to Live Without the Tech Giants. It Was Impossible. - The New York Times
Let's do an exercise! * First let's fire up that VPN. I'm using Windscribe, but whatever you prefer is fine. * Duck Duck Go (search) * Shop directly from manufacturer web stores (instead of Amazon, can still use for ratings) * I'm still allowing for Overstock, Houzz, Wayfair, Lowes, Home Depot, and Newegg because they don't feel like "the man" * Eat only Dominos Pizza. Not relevant to this list, but very hungry right now. * Gotta find the Dominos, guess I'm migrating back to MapQuest. Wait, no, owned by Verizon. I guess the Mapbox integration in Duck Duck Go is fine. * LineageOS phone * F-Droid app store * ProtonMail rather than Gmail/Hotmail/etc * Signal Messenger client for communications * Arlo doorbell and cameras (Netgear instead of Amazon or Google) * Ubuntu computer * Ruqqus, Minds, Parler, Gab for social media * Instacart for groceries from local places * Did I mention I'm hungry right now? Might be affecting this list. * Spotify * Nintendo * Screwed on game streaming since Twitch is owned by Amazon, Mixer is owned (and closed) by Microsoft, all that's left is Facebook Gaming or YouTube. Just watch your friends through a Discord channel while on a VPN and a fake account. * Crap, I forgot about YouTube. Is Vimeo any good now? Wait, Dailymotion is still a thing? * Streaming with Philo, maybe Pluto TV * Cartoons on Crunchyroll? Nope, owned by AT&T. How about Funimation, is that still safe? * Let's bring back Monster.com and MySpace.com What else did I forget?
