Boycott US

Sorry I miss read your comment. I have a pihole that blocks a lot of ads and trackers, you could use it to block US companies if you want I guess. I use it to block Chinese and Russian, among a few other TLDs, pages (it does not block companies that use other TLDs from those countries).

The Google sells most of the ad space, so blocking ads is a good first step. I use a pseudo random email address for everything so when companies sell my email address to Google, Google gets nothing. I used to pay for YouTube premium to avoid ads, Google makes more off of ads than YouTube premium and my pihole doesn’t block YouTube ads. I no longer pay for YouTube premium but use Unwatched on my iPhone or iPad and stream it on my TV using my Apple TV. When a hacker breaches a company and gets my email they get nothing. I have a sticker in my Canada post mail box that asks for no flyers so the only ads I get from them are political ones and ones addressed to me, the ones addressed to me I typically send an email to saying this person no longer exists so please stop sending letters to. My ISP started using an exchange server for email, so Microsoft would likely see some of my email stuff. So I have moved all my emails to my domains pseudo random address (or a private professional email with my domain). The pihole started prior to 2024 but my blog and emails were moved in December of 2024.

I was an Apple fan girl prior to Trump’s 2nd term so I had; iCloud storage, the password manager, hide my email, TV, and whatever else was hosted by them, along with many devices. I have moved my cloud storage to a Canadian host, yes it cost a little more up front but over the year it costs less. I have moved all of my things over to stormweb.cloud. I use 1Password as my password manager now, sure I dislike that some times I have to actually use a password instead of biometrics all the time but so be it I guess I have a random email saved on my devices. I had a thing against pirating media, even though in retrospect I was kinda doing it with my pihole setup as it blocks trackers but now I use prowlarr to just schedule different shows and movies to be downloaded. I am in the process of building a raspberry pi setup to replace my Apple TV, I have all the parts, I just need to put them together and hook it up to my TV. I have family members who use FaceTime so I have not changed my iPhone or iPad, and I do not use a desktop but if I did I would be moving it to Linux.
