  • I’ve degoogled apart from:

    • Google photos - I have shared storage with my family and I really can’t be doing with sorting out the mess when I cancel my 200GB subscription. I do however back all photos up to my server.
    • Pixel phone - I try not use any Google apps/search but the phones are updated regularly and are reasonably good value for money. Other brands have the Google tracking with the OEM tracking on top.


  • Same here. I just don’t give a fuck. I do whatever is the least friction to me, a lot of times pirating is the best option.

    • Music, can’t easily play it everywhere I want with spotify or youtube music? Pirate
    • Movies, scattered allover with different pricing models? Pirate
    • Film comes out and want to watch with friends? Go to the movie theatre.
    • TV on the BBC I can easily watch, just watch there (pay TV licence).
    • TV that comes to the UK later than the US? Pirate
    • Game is a good price on steam, buy.
    • Game is time locked to the premium edition buyers (Starfield), Pirate.
    • Obscure premium podcast, buy because it’s not elsewhere and has an RSS feed. (Plus I don’t mind supporting some creators)

    Basically, I have plenty of spare cash and will pirate or buy depending on whatever works for me, not what works for them.
