There were some small things that I can't remember very well (like looking in to lineageOS), but I think the first wake up call to how deep I was in to the google ecosystem was when I stopped my youtube premium account and started looking for alternatives. I found newpipe and got hooked on privacy respecting software like it was a drug. Techlore was a big part from that point on. I watched through go incognito one video at a time while I was at my night job.
Yeah, Techlore was huge for me too. His site helped me find a lot of privacy-respecting alternatives. Mr. Robot was also a great show to watch at the time!
Techlore Resources site is awesome, thank you, Henry and team!
I know the name but haven't seen the show, I'll have to check it out. Its funny, years ago I watched the movie Antitrust but it all went over my head. Recently I watched it again and nerded out to the linux/Foss ideaology in it.
@paradox2011 @ellioswa Mr. Robot is both timeless and emblematic of the time it was made. Despite how is starts, it spends a lot of time not being a Hackerman show
