The title may sound weird. I initially wrote it as “fuck over the billionaires”. But it is not only billionaires, but also multi-millionaires and people who think themselves hierarchically superior.
So:
- Are you doing something to fuck over “the powerful”? If so, what?
I quit commercial Social Media and am only here and on Mastodon. So I’m not spending my time at Facebook, X, TikTok and so on anymore where they can show me ads and make money from them. I’ve moved most of my online stuff to a selfhosted solution and switched my computers to Linux.
The most impactful thing is something different, however: I put solar on my roof. Most of my power consumption is now from solar, which means that all those texan oil barons, saudi sheiks and russian dictators that are funding Trump, are getting less money from me. That are over 1000€ every year that I’m saving and that is not going into their pockets. And it is good for the environment, too!
My next plan. And shamefully but a FU to the energy Omani’s is a log burning stove.
I feel bad as I like to conserve, and I try to be non waste but it feels polluting.
