resist.

Stop buying whatever it is that Amazon/Meta/Google/Etc sell. They will not stand for you. They will not respect you.

At some points, it may seem like they changed and that they are now good. They are not. They will never be. Resist them.

    I bought a Kindle so I can pirate all my books. Am I resisting?

    You could have made a better choice, I suppose. And some authors/editors do deserve the money.

    Pirating is not necessarily resisting. Are you taking money from authors who really really need it? Or are you taking money from rich CEOs who are worsening the environment, ruining future generations, slaving, etc?

    At least install KoReader before they find a way to firmware-lock the device.
