This may seem unimportant, but I've stumbled upon https://github.com/Aris-t2/CustomCSSforFx and my FF is much more usable than before.
I finally deleted my corporate accounts (twitter, reddit) because the alternatives were finally good enough to use. Still on Facebook and WhatsApp though because of some stubborn friends and family
The year when LLMs exploded.
I've started archiving my media much more vigorously. Due to the corpos enshitifying so much, the amount of media I have ripped and preserved on my own NAS has exploded.
I started torrenting again for the first time since college.
I gave up reddit and use Lemmy and Fediverse exclusively, except for the occasional tech issue I have and then search old reddits for advice/solutions.
I watch YT exclusively through GrayJay, NewPipe, and FreeTube now.
I've become much more active converting people to Linux. So far I convinced two friends to buy Steam Decks, one friend to buy a Framework laptop and put Fedora on it, converted my parents to Linux Mint, and may have two more people switching to Linux on their main computers in the coming year.
I've also been pushing more FOSS software and hardware to family and friends, trying to convince them to care more about right to repair, FOSS and the like.
This year I am planning to build a new NAS that will be a self-hosted defeater for streaming and get my close friends and family onboard. Hopefully they will slowly give up their subscriptions.
We'll see how it all goes, but I'm very optimistic about FOSS tech in the coming months and years, so much great stuff happening!

If you subscribe to RSS feeds that sometimes due ads in the form of articles (looking at you daringfireball); services like SiftRSS let you use Regex to filter out titles that match (i.e., sponsor, sponsorship) so you only get organic content.
My RSS reader (Newsblur) lets me do that too, to some extent.
