Also there’s more than enough quality content that exists already. This week I’m still happy watching Dr who or Star Trek from the 80s and 90s, Alfred Hitchcock films from the 60s and playing pc games from the 90s. There’s more than enough for me to chew through and time does the job of sorting the classic material from the forgettable dross for me.

All your computers will not respond to command until an agreement is reached for total US control of Greenland… and Iceland. Farteched?

Maybe I would rent a cloud PC but not from a big US company or any USA based service or software company.

Just use Ghostery with never consent? I hardly ever see those things. Other extensions are available.

I don’t know, don’t Apple have a reasonable track record of pushing back against governments? I personally have even less faith in the security of android based devices or Android phone manufacturers.

My wishlist is an app which is not linked to a phone number, is multi platform and has a web app. It should be none US and open source. That isn’t too many requirements and yet nothing seems to full fit the bill? Anyway good luck trying to get school parent’s groups to use something other than WhatsApp.

Take a look at Delta chat? I can’t find a fault with it yet…

Is anyone else using Delta chat as an alternative? I can’t fault their idea of basing their chat app on the well established email system.

Good thing I cancelled prime along with all my subscriptions and accounts with US companies just after Trump was elected.

Abolish copper coins. Job done :-)

I wouldn’t say dogshit, I would say the results are good enough for most purposes, not great, my priority just as the moment is dumping USA based companies and I thought Ecosia planting trees was a nice touch. Although as someone else pointed out it is still possibly using crawlers from google and bing in the background. I’m still keen to try out other search engines.

I stopped using Google at the same time I closed my accounts with Facebook, instagram, Reddit and Amazon. Currently I’m using Ecosia which I think is German. I’m dumping all the US companies I can based on all the Trump crap. It is taking time and effort but I should be able to actually close the Google account soon and I replaced windows with Linux on all but one of my PCs.
