Skip the beginning, as it's misogynistic, but at 27 seconds, Warren G's Gangster Sermon sums up my sentiments about #Threads.

Why? Because Threads is able to collect a wide range of personal information, including health, financial, contacts, browsing and search history, location data, purchases and “sensitive info”, according to its data privacy disclosure on the App Store.

Enough is enough! Get your grubby little corporate hands off of me!

@stephstephking I have been writing #anticorporate #cyberpunk #scifi for awhile now, and our real life American oligarchs CONSISTENTLY out-evil my imagined villains, which is very frustrating because I like to think I have a powerful imagination.

@maddler with my current status as a small potatoes writer, I mostly exist within the Amazon framework anyway. We made sure there were other options, and I always want those to be available to people where possible. The irony isn't lost on me that I am writing #anticorporate #cyberpunk while panhandling for Amazon reviews, but until I am a larger kind of potato, it is what it is I guess!

#cashfriday

I've been getting local produce all week, paying with cash.

Just had some more delivered today.

Buy local, from people you know and like. #anticorporate

Cash or trade prevents snooping on your transactions and enhances #privacy

@ChrisWere

In the last ten years I've noticed a shift. The left has been tricked into supporting the establishment in both politics and business.

So it no longer surprises me that left-leaning people are defending big corporations like #starbucks

#antiCorporate

Full disclosure, I have never considered myself to be "left learning", though perhaps "left-libertarian".

Just freed an Acer #Chromebook C740 from #google with #coreboot

#antiCorporate #corebootbook

This laptop, I pulled out the motherboard with 2GB memory and put in another one that had 4GB. The memory is soldered to the motherboard on all the Chromebooks I've seen.

I then took that C740 board and put it in a C720 laptop. That motherboard seemed to be dead, so took it out and the C740 board fits almost perfectly. The exception is just the connectors for the wifi antennas were a larger size on the C720 than on the C740. That's an easy fix as I can scavenge the correct connector size from another device if I really want to get this laptop fully functional with wifi.

At least try to reduce the amount you spend with corporations who do not have your best interests in mind.

Big corporations may not actively hate you, but many of them certainly act like they don't care about you.

Buy from people you know, like and trust.

Bought a beef roast and a lamb roast from a local family a few miles from us.

Also had our regular Friday delivery of milk, hamburger and eggs.

Paid both with cash. Our purchasing decisions do make a difference, both with who we buy from and how we pay.

@Slips @nerdtronics

I'm not denying climate change, in the meaning of the words. Of course climate changes and could very well be influenced by human behavior.

> The concept of individuals being the sole method of lowering carbon emissions is dipshit propoganda from big energy and other corporations who want to pretend like they give a shit about the climate in a way that doesn't hurt their profit margins.

Sounds like we may have some common ground.

@pre

> Social media that people can own will never be free ...

I *own* my own instance (social.retroedge.tech)

You might want to clarify your stance, re-word your argument or re-examine your position.

I am #antiCorporate but not anti-ownership. Ownership by individuals and families is a good thing, from my perspective.

"Distributism is an #economic theory asserting that the world's productive assets should be widely owned rather than concentrated."

@rob I don't use razors, haven't in about a decade... so I won't be buying any of Jeremy's.

But I like his message and I think more people should be doing what he is, or something similar by creating alternatives to the corporations that hate you.

#antiCorporate

The market isn't a "free market", though, in that the game is very much stacked against us as #bigtech has amassed most of the resources.

We have to have strategies to combat that... and then actually implement them to see what works and what doesn't.

#antiCorporate

I am thinking quite about the economics of both open source, education, edutainment and social media.

If we have a problem with these big corporations (like Google, Facebook, et cetera), then there should be an alternative way of funding our own communities, learning platforms.

Giving away everything for free isn't the answer, as there are resources that need to be paid for.

Also, profit on its own isn't bad. I am critical of the obscene profits of #bigtech, though.
