Roni Laukkarinen<p>I've been reflecting deeply on my personal values and ethics. Whenever I discuss enshittification and surveillance capitalism, someone inevitably points out my continued use of Meta platforms, GitHub, and other services. There's this persistent notion that if you're not completely "all in" on ethical digital choices, you're a hypocrite.</p><p>I don't think the blame game gets us anywhere. While some in the Fediverse might view my reasoning as excuses, they're genuine considerations. My guiding principle is simple: If something doesn't make me smile and has too many downsides, I don't do it.</p><p>Here's a summary of my life choices aligned with my values:</p><p>✅ Car-free lifestyle: Walking and running everywhere with my family. We use public transport or get rides for longer distances.</p><p>✅ Sobriety: Five years sober, valuing optimal brain function. It took 17 years to understand alcohol's harm to oneself and others.</p><p>❌ Plant-based diet: Challenging, but mostly avoiding red meat with regular vegan days at home.</p><p>✅ X (Twitter): Completely deleted due to API closures, paid features, hate speech, and Musk's problematic leadership.</p><p>✅ WhatsApp: Deleted because of surveillance, AI, ads, and privacy concerns.</p><p>❌ Facebook: My personal account was deleted by the platform without any reason given (thank them), though my business still uses it - a "necessary evil" if you want to make profit.</p><p>❌ GitHub: Too integrated with work, CI, and organizations to completely abandon. How do you move thousands of repositories that are not up to you?</p><p>❌ AI: Using local, private Open WebUI, but AI is ubiquitous and hard to escape. It's in every organizational app and not up to me.</p><p>❌ Instagram: Staying for memes and joy, despite knowing Meta's involvement.</p><p>❌ Threads: Mixed feelings, might quit or moderate from Mastodon if EU integration ever happens.</p><p>❌ LinkedIn: A "necessary evil" as a business owner.</p><p>❌ Google: Impossible to completely disconnect due to long-standing business ties.</p><p>❌ Bluesky: Rarely used, find the platform uninteresting. Might quit in some point.</p><p>✅ Cloud and files: Self-hosting Nextcloud and other infrastructure.</p><p>✅ Privacy: Using ungoogled-chromium, custom DNS, comprehensive tracker blocking.</p><p>✅ Operating system: Primarily Linux, with a gaming PC and Mac.</p><p>So, am I doing enough? I'm trying my best to make conscious, ethical digital choices while acknowledging the complexities of modern tech ecosystems.</p><p><a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/DigitalFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalFreedom</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/SelfHosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SelfHosted</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Meta</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/SurveillanceCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SurveillanceCapitalism</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Cloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cloud</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Ethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ethics</span></a></p>

Debby<p>🌟 Exciting News in Digital Freedom! 🌟</p><p>Starting next month, Denmark's Minister of Digitization, Caroline Stage, plans to phase out Microsoft and other tech giants' programs within her ministry. This bold move aims to reduce reliance on U.S.-based tech companies and embrace open-source alternatives.</p><p>Half of the ministry's employees will transition to a new computer system, replacing Windows with open-source solutions. Specifically, they will adopt LibreOffice, a free and open-source office suite, as an alternative to Microsoft's Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.</p><p>"I want to take the lead and try it out. When the opportunity presented itself, it would be crazy not to seize it. I am very much looking forward to seeing how it works in practice," says Minister Stage.</p><p>This initiative aligns with Denmark's broader strategy to achieve digital sovereignty and reduce dependence on large tech corporations. The goal is for the entire ministry to be free of Microsoft by the fall. However, if the transition faces significant challenges, there is flexibility to revert temporarily.</p><p>The push for digital sovereignty is gaining momentum, especially in light of current global dynamics and concerns over data protection.
