I would liken them to the automotive industry. Both have deeply harmed society by isolating people from each other (it sounds counterintuitive, I know). Both have created infrastructure that prioritizes individual consumption over collective well being, restructured daily life around corporate products, and normalized a form of privatized existence that erodes public space, shared culture, and relational life. Just as cars gutted walkable communities and made human scale living subordinate to machines, Big Tech has gutted organic social interaction, subordinating communication and attention to platforms designed for extraction and control. #fuckcars #fuckbigtech

Ok then, to the Linux fork I go...or whatever non-corporate OS replaces it as the standard FOSS.

Lol. Dear consumers, please switch over to Linux :)

I still use it to make international calls to family (it's my only use case for it). Does anyone know of a good replacement (preferably FOSS) that allows calling on landlines (yup, old people still use them)?

We definitely need more competition in the browser space, I just wish it wasn't using such a permissive license as the BSD.

A Very Simple one- I'm constantly interrupting people during conversations. I do it because I want to get out a thought before I get distracted. I've improved over the years, but I still do it, often.
