Big tech can go F itself.
All big tech has done is stolen our data and lied to us for their own needs.
Make all software FOSS
This smells like sour grapes to me, just like when people say to boycott Starbucks and then in the same breath say their coffee sucks. These companies became behemoths because people find a lot of value in the products and services they offer. Failing to acknowledge that truth just makes you sound out of touch.
I mean you SHOULD boycott starbucks for their business practices. But you can't say their coffee sucks. They don't have coffee. They have "diabetic inducing coffee flavored sugarwater"
But it's not coffee
You can, in fact, go to Starbucks and order an Espresso. Let's just say that it tastes as if the barrista had never drank one straight.
