21 Some Privacy-Focused Alternatives

from The Computer Exorcist Podcast Hosted by Marc-Anthony Arena

This morning Angry Marc flies solo! I discuss the hype behind AI: Contributing to the destruction of humanity, all because you were too lazy to write a paragraph for yourself. I then praise a little-known book called Why Software Sucks. It reveals how adding more and more and more features makes a program more and more and more unreliable. While written in 2007, it is increasingly relevant. Grab a copy on eBay or wherever you can. We spend the rest of the episode discussing privacy-focused alternatives to the Big Tech brands that come to mind. Most people think there are only 1 or 2 choices when in reality you have MANY OPTIONS. We'll discuss choices in email, web browsers, International messaging, web search, and a bonus site that helps protect you from Big Social Media. Oh yeah, and youregonnawanna hear about the unintended consequences when your bank tells you to download Chrome, and what to download instead. IT PAYS TO LOOK FOR ALTERNATIVES, FOR UNDERDOGS. They're less abusive, better quality, and you'll avoid feeding the beast of Big Tech.
