I was a dedicated user of #iPhone and #Samsung since beginning of the smartphone era. 2 years back I stumbled upon #GrapheneOS I bought a #Pixel flashed it with GrapheneOS and I never turned back. #googlefree #metafree #microsoftfree and #bigtechfree - for me it is a real digital freedom.

@bob @justbob I definitely remember the internet before it became corporatized. It was much more fun before all that happened. But with the #fediverse happening it’s becoming fun yet again! #linux and the #bsd are also making it fun. I’ve been completely #microsoftfree now for over 2 years.

Personally I use #VScodium sometimes but only since it's a #Fork of #VScode without shitty #BinaryBlobs.

But otherwise my #TechStack is #MicrosoftFree for obvious reasons:

I value my mental health more than my exploitability for #wagework!
