My week so far: Dumped Google off my phone, dropped Firefox for Duck Duck Go, signed up for the Signal app, bought a Faraday bag to keep my IRL conversations private… I mean, this is insane.

I keep getting Instagram ads and emails relating to things I’m talking to people about when my phone is out. I don’t know about you, but the Mike constantly being open is creeping me out.
I know, it’s hard and time consuming to untangle from all of this. I’m doing it piece by piece. I saw a list on here last night of alternatives to Amazon but I haven’t had a chance to check the list out.
I never thought any of these places were my “friend,” but I still thought of them as American companies. I’ve seen “avoid” lists, but I have to question almost everything now, because it’s Amazon, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Walmart, Target, McDonalds, Home Depot, Meta, etc.
Yeah, I’m running out of places where I feel good giving my money to them. I rarely have the need to go to Costco, but they seem to be one company that has integrity.

Utterly invasive.
