#Disenshittify, NOW!! We have a chance: #IP!!
"…thanks to internal memos published during last year's #monopoly trial against #Google, we know what they did. They made #search worse. They reduced the system's accuracy it so you had to search twice or more to get to the answer, thus doubling the number of queries, and doubling the number of #ads.
Meanwhile, Google entered into a secret, illegal collusive arrangement with #Facebook, codenamed #JediBlue, to rig the ad market, fixing prices so advertisers paid more and publishers got less." @pluralistic

I see a lot of posts on here chiding people for suggesting #linux as a solution to the surveillance capital tool know as #Microsoft #Windows.
I understand their point to a point, however, the solution to windows spying is, ultimately, to not use windows.
If you would like to not use windows but don't know where to start, I'd be more than happy to have a chat with you to help get you started on your journey.
It's really not that bad, folks. If you're ready to stop paying hundreds of dollars for the pleasure of having all your data stolen, hit me up, and let's figure something out for you, today!

@johnallsopp I just noticed on #disenshittify a request for a pomodoro timer. Turns out @Clearleft (actually @trys) had already made one: https://clock.clearleft.com

I hooked my GNU/Linux-loving son up with an old #lenovo #thinkcenter mini-PC that I picked up at a used AV store for about $50. For another $20, I upgraded the ram to 12GB.
He's got it setup it up with #debian as his first home server, with which he's now hosting a few static websites and an internet radio station for his friends and family. He's got loads of resources to spare for when he gets into running larger services.
You don't *need* to spend $30+ a month on cloud services when an old recycled office PC will more than suffice.
The best part? Helping him troubleshoot his problems with #DNS and #nginx and all that fun stuff. I've already made every mistake possible over the decades, and he gets to benefit from that. That how it should work!

Audio (from Doctorow direct, b/c Amazon's DRM is an enshittifier):
