@lottajg@mastodon.social still part of surveillance capitalism: Xiaomi 14 running HyperOS. Next phone will for sure be a Fairphone or similar!

All of my devices are now officially Windows-free! No more microslop on my hardware, feels good. I've been running ZorinOS, and loving it. My kindle has also been de-amazonified and now runs KOreader. Switched from Goodreads to Storygraph. Switched from Spotify to Qobuz. Switched from the Google ecosystem to Proton for email, cloud storage, password manager, authentication,...

What's next? Or am I...done? :rainbowdance:

@moltendrinker @mttaggart great read, thanks! I was planning on getting a Framework for my next laptop, but I guess I'll have to find another, nicer, EU based alternative instead

I'm nominating the Acacia as the symbol for the anti-AI movement. Because it stands for resilience, but also because it spells 'AI caca' backwards.

@hiisikoloart@writing.exchange @ethanschoonover@mastodon.social to make new earthenware the shopkeep must vacate the premises of his precious kiln for many hours. He lives in the constant delicate balance of having to expose himself to the lurking dangers of the dungeon in order to create new wares to sell.

@hiisikoloart@writing.exchange @ethanschoonover@mastodon.social your sleepy eyes do not deceive you: this dwarven shopkeep has made his kiln into a stall. Mayhaps the heavy kiln door keeps out the monsters roaming this dungeon, mayhaps he just finds his kiln homely and cozy.

All other social media platforms feel like I'm zapping through teleshopping channels. Mastodon is like finding the button that turns on interdimensional cable.
