I was already used to Debian Linux for 3 years.

I was already used the browser Mozilla Firefox + uBlock.

I was already used to having a dumbphone instead of a smartphone. (I don’t regret it).

This year, I started financially giving money to free open source software like VLC, Krita, Inkscape, Gimp, Qbittorrent. For too long, I have used amazing open source software without contributing. For far too long, I have taken them for granted. We live in a world where we should take nothing for granted.

I started buying Signal toothpaste (Unilever) instead of Colgate toothpaste (USA). Until I find a brand that is actually even smaller than Unilever.

But Google was the real challenge.

I had another email account, but my Gmail account had a ton of stuff on it. Youtube ? I liked it. But I can put my favorite channels in my bookmarks.

It took some time to sort out everything.

But I actually did it.

It’s over.

Finally.

FINALLY

Fuck the US social model. Inhuman vile shit :

Increasingly, this cancerous social model is spreading. Starting - as usual - with the British.

According to multiple sources who spoke to their favorite newspaper (The Financial Times), UK CEOs are now asking their friends on their boards to be paid exactly like American CEOs:

Resist US corporations. Resist huge multinationals.

Support non-profit organizations and small-medium sized businesses.
