I mean if we just started to break CEOs and Board Members, I bet the survivors would beg for anti-compete laws and higher taxes. Just something for us to keep in mind as, life gets harder and more dystopian.
For a short period of time, yes. Less claims were denied right after the incident. But now things are arguably worse. Probably because nobody followed up and held anyone accountable.
I don’t use AWS which is where Amazon makes most of their money. I order from them a couple of times a year for stuff I can’t otherwise find. I don’t use anything by meta at all.
MS Windows are another matter, but I’m not giving them money at least. I have software that is flakey to unavailable on Linux and breaks on any update. I work two jobs so not a lot of time to mess with it.
Google is the hardest one, but they also don’t get a ton of money from me and I plan on avoiding them for my next phone if possible (though everything is terrible that works with Felica which I need to be able to function in Japan). I was going to move my mail to Proton and start there, but Proton has made a lot of decisions that pushes me away from that.
Sounds like you’re on a great path!
Regarding email: have you considered getting your own domain and having emails associated with that domain hosted at a nice place?
I used to self-host email way back in the day. Spam filtering apparently is more of an issue. As of right now, whether or not I have a job after January is very much unknown so no spending for me for now.
So many companies had better get broken up for anti-compete when the dems take power. They won’t, but I can dream.

Saint Luigi already showed us the way…
Asking as a non-American, did it change anything for the good? I mean, were there any improvements in approved medical cases, or anything like that?

Until they get broken up (if ever) you can reduce their power by avoiding them as best you can.
