I am frustrated with privacy concerns and the amount of bloat that companies
try to push on my devices to maximize profit and control over
my life.
These are some movements/news that I care about and want to bring your attention to.
Keep Android Open - Google will be locking down on non-Google approved apps on Android starting September 2026.
Giving Google control over Android apps is against its initial selling point over Apple, hurts independent developers,
and risks internet censorship.
Myrient Shutdown - Myrient, a legacy video game preservation site with direct downloads freely available, had shut down on
March 31st 2026. One of the reasons for closure was due to the increasing prices of RAM and storage devices from the demand for AI data centers.
Clippy Movement - A movement which encourages users to change their profile pictures to Clippy to bring
awareness to the many invasive and exploititve practices of big tech companies.
I have been making changes in my life to gain back control
over the tech that I own. I am a proud owner of a dumbphone, an mp3 player, multiple hacked eReaders,
and video game consoles with CFW. I still use some social media on
platforms I disagree with, but I have changed the way I interact with them to feel more comfortable.
