Getting off US tech: a guide I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.

For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Two crows are flying through a snowstorm. "I can hardly see a thing!" yells one, "We can't keep going like this!" The other one replies "Let's take a break!" They land in a snow-covered field, the snow is falling gently. "Oh!" exclaims one while looking around at the peaceful scene, "It's so beautiful when you aren't fighting against it."

"The vocation: A teenage girl interprets her consuming admiration for the nuns at school and her lack of interest in boys as signs of a religious calling.

O sea la deriva polΓ­tica mundial es terrorΓ­fica pero sΓ­ creo que si estΓ‘n indignando a los apolΓ­ticos que estΓ‘n en el espectro y ven minidocumentales sobre tostadoras de los aΓ±os 50 es que hay algo muy difΓ­cil de sostener a medio plazo en el nuevo fascismo.

drew this parody gadsden flag six years ago, and it seems it’s still relevant as the bootlicking has only increased.
