What kind of pre-enshittification tech do you all use? Stuff where ppl look at you like you're an alien b/c nobody does it that any more.

Me ->

Oldschool offline mp3 player rather than Spottify or other streaming or phone app, to use when running.

Paper books rather than e-books.

DRM free games I buy on GOG to avoid rootkitting my own comp.

Wired speakers rather than smart speakers.

Old ass pre-connected car.

Prob more but I can't think of it all rn.

The car is a 2014. Not internet connected but still has a black box.

I've been playing local mp3 for decades. Along came streaming but I didn't see a reason to switch.

My laptop is a 2017 T-470 Thinkpad running Fedora44. Old machine, new software.

I use Syncthing and external hard drives instead of cloud storage.

I don't own a TV.

Not a single smart appliance in the house.
