    And now we start to have a little fun, because as you scratch a little closer, you find that the things you thought were "ethical" alternatives really aren't, and you have to admit to yourself that you don't have options.

    Proton
    LibreOffice
    Tuta
    Kagi
    Mozilla
    Brave
    Linux...this was when it started to get really fun
    Internet Archive....this was when you might have stopped breathing
    Wikipedia...which we could have suspected because Wales brags about being a libertarian, so not liking unions tracks

    Omarchy...but that's a Linux distribution, and eh, you already had a problem
    Mullvad...someone want to list a good VPN that isn't fascist adjacent or corrupted with AI? Please?
    Stripe
    PayPal...This one is *special*, and maybe should have been on the first list
    Discord! They are moving to "age verification", and that is going to go really badly, I promise you. But why believe me when you can just look at tumblr?
    VIM
    Shopify

    Framework...which brings me to a certain someone who made a couple of recommendations that ended up being on this list. You know who he is. If you see him recommending anything, treat with caution.

    The reason I need to put this list up is because I know I missed something even as I was typing this up. I can't keep up, which is maybe part of the design.

    But it shouldn't be this way, and it doesn't have to be.
