The anti-Big-Tech movement isn't a trend, it's a correction.

The anti-Big-Tech movement isn't a trend, it's a correction. Our societies spent 20 years accepting surveillance capitalism as normal. And now, we're slowly remembering we have choices.
Sure, switching browsers is a small thing. But small rebellions are how everything big begins, or so we like to believe.
If you think about those around you, have you noticed an increased awareness lately about what's behind the tech they use?

@Vivaldi absolutely right! I discovered that the tech you use, is a choice. Going deeper, I discovered that a solution is independent, open-source software. You guys are sort of independent but is there a reason why Vivaldi isnt open-source?

Just switched to Vivaldi from Firefox, seems pretty good.
Also trying out OnlyOffice (Latvian?) office suite of apps and Qwant (French?) search engine - both looking good.
Thinking about ProtonVPN (Swiss?).
The problem is persuading others to change - most of the people I know just keep on using what they were given years ago. MS Windows, MS Office, Outlook, Google …

@Vivaldi switching to your browser was the best decision I made, and the rabbit holes it sent me down have all been beautiful! Thank you Vivaldi Team!

@gwentlarry @Vivaldi Hmm, I’m Latvian and I’ve never heard of OnlyOffice.

@Vivaldi I'm only aware of my own increase in awareness of the tech I use. Everyone else I know thinks AI is the bee's knees.

@sirrichard @gwentlarry @Vivaldi
Gwentlarry is on the right track!
A little bad luck with OnlyOffice is all. I've also stepped on that mine. Its a nice product, but from what I've read on Mastodon, its basically Russian and moved their legal seat to Latvia because of reasons you can all guess.
