One of my favorite AI image apps is promoting Elon Musk today. Have uninstalled and left a 1 star review explaining why. Is there a site or someplace where people are keeping track of all these companies that are supporting the new Nazis?

    I don’t know about other tech companies, but if you run a local AI you at least won’t have to worry about that. You don’t need a high end computer if you only use it sparingly anyway.

    Otherwise, stick to open source or privacy friendly tech as much as possible and you’ll avoid him pretty well. Linux software alternatives are definitely not supported by him I’m sure (like Krita, GIMP, and Libre Office).

    Email is a bit tricker with the news about Proton, but I think Tuta and Posteo are alright. Again, this could also be something that can be run on a local mini server if you’re interested.

    If it’s about the phone, I suggest either a used Pixel with Graphene, used Samsung with /e/ if you have the tech know how, or a Murena’s new phone (if it’s available yet where you are - if not let me know), or if you have the money, a Fairphone 5.

    I can also help you out with setting up non-cloud stuff if you want, like security cams if you’re interested.

    For smart home automation you can do Home Assistant , which now also has pre-made hardware available (could be useful if you need to control/ automate grow lights, sprinklers, or chicken coop heaters).
