LOL it’s not some sisyphean task to not use big tech products, its slightly inconvenient and takes some time to adjust, don’t talk about it as though it were something that only the great men of the ancient times could do, take your iPhone and throw it as hard as you can against the concrete, you will be fine.

Great advice if you don’t need a smartphone. Many do, they are now an identity tool.

The alternative to Apple is…Google? How is that in any way better other than not being Apple? Sure, there are de-Googlefied versions of Android and today they work . But Google is actively working on ending the ability of those alternative operating systems to work.

Many of us have expensive professional software tools that require Mac or Windows.

So it wouldn't be "slightly inconvenient". It would be the end of our professional work in those domains.
