... I'm disconnecting from the big tech companies.

Duck Duck Go will be my search engine on all my devices starting right now.

Facebook account is all but deleted. Never had Instagram and barely use Messenger for those few people who insist we communicate through Meta. (What's wrong with email or a phone call?)

Cancelled WaPo and LAT.

The world is going to hell.
