I've had it in mind a long time coming, but after the latest shitshow about banning Parler and Gab I decided Apple and I need a divorce over irreconcilable differences. My divorce with Wal Mart is almost complete, my iPhone next. Supposedly Gab is coming out with a phone, can't wait. Or at worst getting and Android phone and rooting it to get rid of Gulag.

There’s several new cell phone companies that are good for privacy but they aren’t mainstream by any means.

If you’re willing to sacrifice on some features, Librem 5 is a good privacy phone. PinePhone is decent too (albeit very stripped down)

Yup. I stopped using Google long ago. I switched to ProtonMail. I need to get rid of my iPhone though.

I deleted the Amazon app. I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way to download digital movies I’ve bought. But it sounds like a no. We still have Hulu because it comes free sign our sprint phone service. We got rid of Netflix and sold shares in netflix.

I do have ring devices, which I regret buying. I might go return those.

A reminder that any lesser known smart phone companies (especially privacy-focused ones) will likely have lower quality that you’re used to.

Purism’s Librem 5 is a good product concept. It uses a Linux OS and has external mic/camera/WiFi/Bluetooth killswitches and removable battery

Just flat out buy less, buy second hand for a while. Barter. Take up fishing, hiking, gardening. Get off the bouncy and into the yard. We could have a huge impact if we all closed our purses and wallets for 6 months. Buy only what is really needed.

So what are the alternatives? I moved to Gab and MeWe.

Any suggestions for internet browsers or search engines? I started using onesearch but still need to download a new browser.
