T…. Time to leave?

I got a subscription to nebula, since my favorite creators are on there and YouTube’s subscription costs too much.

Quit Spotify for Apple Music and PlexAmp.

Slowly starting to phase out everything Google but it’s taking some time.

I’m using Google search less and now Ecosia has become my primary search engine.

Next thing on my list is to reduce streaming services. I quit Netflix and HBO in 2023 after having it for many years.

Using a VPN more and more.

I’m using much less Reddit, Facebook and whatever the fuck twitter is now. Instead I’m using Lemmy and Mastodon. Maybe this year I’ll delete all the old accounts finally for good.

Started using RSS again for news.

Absolutely; and this is another example in a long list which should serve as a lesson for people to not share their personal data with any company if possible. Yet, I feel that lesson will never be learned.

“You won’t own anything, and you’ll like it.”

Honestly, when I first heard audiobooks were coming to Spotify , I thought they would be included in the premium price. I thought, hey this is a great perk and would be some competition for Audible.

I was quickly disappointed when I realized the cost of audiobooks on Spotify were more expensive than other services. I can’t imagine a ton of people buying their audiobooks there when the prices are better literally everywhere else.

I drank the carbon capture kool-aid for a time early on. It sounded too good to be true. Unfortunately it was.

Toss it on the pile.

“Boomer company pushes boomer policies, more at 10.”

I bought a brother laser printer when I started working from home full time over the pandemic. Best printer I’ve ever had. Does it’s job and asks for very little.

I regret selling my SNES and all the games I had with it when I was a kid. I needed the money short term but have regretted selling it ever since. So many good childhood memories were had with that console. :(
