I was answering a technical question on Reddit last night when I realized that, while it might help the person asking it, I am also fueling Reddits profits, training AI, and supporting a big American corporation by providing free knowledge.

So I reconsidered and I deleted the answer I was writing.

I will use my reddit account read only from now. No more upvotes, no more downvotes, no more comments. AdBlock enabled using Firefox for all sites. I already use Linux instead of Microsoft. I don't have Facebook or Instagram. I de-googled my online accounts and e-mail and moved my domains and e-mail to a Swiss company. I drive German cars. I will consciously start vetting my purchases to be not from the US or China. I will buy local as much as I can. When I build software, I will not host it on Google or azure or aws. I'm looking at nextcloud for my next pet project.

The list is growing, and every little item I can add to it gives me a little more satisfaction and peace of mind.

Exactly this. He made an offer publicly, which was accepted and legally binding. He overpaid substantially and proceeded to run the company into the ground.

And that's how I met your mother

He looks more intelligent than most project managers.

I wish I could build a menacing lair using only spit and wood pulp.
