@CanadaPlus @SpectralPineapple Ive been using Plenary on Android which does a pretty good job of pulling full articles when available. Don't think its FOSS but its seems to be focused on privacy to a certain extent. I love that it can create a custom widget that can replace the google surveillance oriented click bait feed.

I've been experimenting with a few different options on desktop. @thunderbird has been the go to for me for a long time. Since playing with Google Reader lifetimes ago.

@dark_stang yeah good call, at least the battery is reverse compatible for powering your home

Wild that the F150 is the biggest selling automobile in North America by a long shot. Would be great to at least get these folks off fossil fuels but...

@pixelpop3 @admin happy to send you an invite if you want one. Especially if it helps you leave the bird site. DM me

The fediverse is way better. Interesting to check out what people are building... at least a bit. I find myself wanting to come back here way more than any of the other options.

@drwho @xoggy yeah eh. Maybe it has such a unique footprint it just opens up more tracking opportunities through fingerprinting. 🙃

@stabby_cicada its still collective action at the end of the day if you hope to have an impact.

I would suggest strategic boycotts can have an impact at times. Generally voting with your dollars is most useful when supporting local alternatives where your individual dollars really have a big impact.

The danger with individual responsibility campaigns is they tend to shift focus away from those with the real power (as has been stated here by others).

Take a look at the history of the Make America Beautiful campaign to see how corporations have intentionally pushed this narrative to shift focus off of them.
