The problem is that everything has got a computer in it these days and I
too fear that the only option to avoid all the bad-ness going on is to
opt out of computing as well :(

But whilst I still can, I'll at least run my own servers and rely on the
"cloud" as little as possible.  Librem 5 phone coming next year for me.

Opting out of the big 5 is also very much something I would like to do:

1. Google (including Android)
2. Apple
3. Microsoft (including LinkedIn, Skype and other privacy nightmares)
4. Amazon (including AWS)
5. Facebook

Oh and Twitter would make it six...


NB: The article is not mine, but the sentiments are the same:

I even hate it very much that our public broadcaster has to have fb and
twitter accounts -- they are supposed to be 100% free and
non-commercial, but that's really just a dream because they, themselves
(abc.net.au) are always going to be more commercial than they'll admit.

Being sans systemd is not enough, that is another eco-system I want to
avoid as much as I can (as we all know here).

Kind Regards
