I have thought about stopping the use of all tech leaders: only use LLM access by running locally and Huggingface, only use a small 3rd party email provider, just use open source, and only social media use is via Mastodon.

What would be the effect? Ironically, more productive?

I am pissed at Microsoft now because my family plan for Office365 is set to renew and they are tagging on a surcharge of $30 for AI services I don’t want. What assholes: that should be a voluntary add on.

EDIT: I tried to cancel my Office365 plan, and they let me switch to a non-AI plan for the old price. I don’t hate them anymore.
