In the months leading up to May 1, 2026 let's build a GLOBAL #BOYCOTT. People can begin now, pledge to delete their accounts at the major US tech platforms:

• #Amazon
• #Google
• #Meta
• #Microsoft
• #Apple

Imagine for a minute, what that looks like! The lead-up to that day and the actual day. If hundreds of millions people, globally, were to actually delete their accounts (or at least stop using them to purchase services). Those CEOS, those boards and stock holders SHOULD FEAR US. They think themselves isolated from their actions.

We should not just talk shit about them, we should end their companies, we should cut their companies to the ground.

With the internet, is such a thing really so far fetched? For fucks sake, we have the internet.

THEY. SHOULD. FEAR. US. WE. SHOULD. MAKE. THEM. FEAR. US.

Global Boycott. Start now. Build, build, build. #DeleteDay2026 #TheyShouldBeAfraid

Dare to imagine kicking those fuckers in their testicles.

Dream with me. No, really. Close your eyes and imagine a day, May 1, 2026.

In the months leading up to May 1 a GLOBAL campaign is organized. On May 1 (or before) people pledge to delete their accounts at the major US tech platforms:

• #Amazon
• #Google
• #Meta
• #Microsoft
• #Apple

Imagine for a minute, what they looks like. The lead-up to that day and the actual day. If hundreds of millions people, globally, were to actually do that.

Imagine for a moment, in the months leading up to such a day, the result on those CEOS, the boards, etc. They think themselves isolated from their actions. We should not just talk shit about them, we should end them. We should cut their companies to the ground.

With the internet, is such a thing really so far fetched? For fucks sake, we have the internet.

THEY. SHOULD. FEAR. US. WE. SHOULD. MAKE. THEM. FEAR. US.

Global Boycott. Start now. Build, build, build. #DeleteDay2026

Dare to imagine kicking those fuckers in their testicles.

Daily reminder to #Apple enthusiasts that claim it's too hard to transition to other options: The Enshitification will only get worse.

YOU are CHOOSING in part because you don't want to make an effort. It's easier to complain and weakly protest. Americans are really good at this while they avoid any actual action. This is how we got here (hand wavy gesture).

YOU control YOUR COMPUTING. YOU.

Yes, it requires effort. Why not start now with small steps to begin a process to gradually replace Apple Services and apps. Download the #FOSS apps that can replace the Apple's Mac apps:

• LibreOffice to replace Pages, Numbers, Keynote
• Mullvad which better protects your privacy compared to Safari
• Thunderbird for an email client
• Proton to replace iCloud email, calendar, iCloud Drive
• Ente.io for cloud photos and sharing

Don't give up before you try. Your #freedom and #privacy are worth the effort.

One of my local volunteer projects is the library's website which I'm updating this morning as Cosmo waits for second breakfast.

Happily using #FreeSoftware: ghostwriter for markdown conversion to html. Then I'll use Kate to edit a couple html files then upload with Filezilla. #GNU #Linux

and the Cinnamon DE. All running on a 2018 #Thinkpad bought for $250 on Ebay.

No need for new/expensive hardware from #apple. No #malware from #Microsoft or #google #UpCycle #FOSS #Tech

FUCK TIM COOK. FUCK APPLE. And fuck the rest of these fucking fascist fucks.

They're allegiance to fascism and violence is the real profanity.

American tech oligarchs and their companies need to be shunned (shunning is just the beginning of what they deserve).

Shun these fuckers, their products, their companies. No bullshit excuse "they're just doing what they need to do."

FUCK cooperation with #fascism. FUCK #Nazi bootlickers.

#Boycott #Apple #Google #Microsoft #Meta

This and also, delete your #Amazon account.

Why in the ever-living-fuck is anyone still giving money to any #US #bigtech #fascist boot-licker unless there is no other choice for something that is essential? Don't feed the fascist machine.

Rather than talk about the latest corporate streaming tv show you enjoyed, share about your boycott of those companies. Give your money to #PBS instead. Use your library.

Paul Thurrott on "Giving in" to Microsoft's malicious behavior towards it's users. Describing setup in which his choices are repeatedly reverted by Windows 11.

"I would decline Windows 11's offer to "backup" my Desktop, Documents, and Pictures folders to OneDrive during Setup, but in each case, it would later ignore that decision and simply enable the feature."

Why do people willingly subject themselves to this when there are alternatives?

A fantastic blog post by

Growing old in the age of crap tech, and fascism: "In a nutshell, I found myself trapped within a kind of self-inflicted jail, where the warden was a collective entity made of rich white men. These mercurial figures come from a foreign country that I was conditioned to think as an ally."

We do not have to remain users and subjects of US mega tech. There absolutely are solutions.

Microsoft is blocking the ICC prosecutor from accessing his email. Not too surprising. Microsoft and Google both actively support Israel and its systematic apartheid and genocide. US-based corps are not to be trusted. It was just a April 30 that Microsoft assured the EU that it could be trusted. The solution for other nations lies in readily available free and open source solutions or those they have themselves built and are hosting. #Microsoft #DigitalSovereignty #FOSS
