Yeeting oligarch tech
Inspired by Dr. Molly Tov, I want to work harder on yeeting oligarch technology.
This page serves as both a pledge and a semi-credible proof of work. Semi-credible because you have to trust me that I actually yeeted the service that I list here. But in general, I am a pretty trustworthy guy.
I will have to start slowly, carefully considering each step, because I have been using some of these services for decades. But I am determined and I seriously detest some of the services attached to them. I will also limit my efforts to web technology at first because there you will find the most nasty companies.
Yeeted
- Google (including mail, calendar, contacts): replaced by various non-oligarch services, some of which are self-hosted.
- 1Password, replaced by self-hosted Bitwarden
Yet to yet (YTY)
This list is incomplete and probably shorter than it must be. But it's a start.
- YouTube
- Netflix
- Amazon
- Meta (Instagram)
