- 56BEUM7Q 12y agoWhile the effort required to change your lifestyle can seem like a personal task, it's important to remind ourselves of all the work of free software developers. As we've seen with GPG,[1] many of them lack resources. It's a testament to the inherent goodness in people that these options even exist. We should continue to contribute our skill and treasure to these increasingly critical programs so they continue to exist and prosper.

- qiqing 12y agoI recommend the original title of the post: "Why I’m Saying Goodbye to Apple, Google and Microsoft: I’m putting more trust in communities than corporations" or the author's tweet: "Weaning myself off Apple, Microsoft, Google et al -- a journey worth taking." rather than the click-bait-y edited title submitted: "I quit using Apple, Microsoft and Google and now my conscience is clear. You?" which may have unfairly disadvantaged this post or caused it to get flagged. :-/
