It is harder. Just remember why you're doing it. For me, I remind myself of how manipulative and fascistic big tech really is. That the data they collect could be a threat to life and liberty. In some cases, it already is.
I agree! That is the reason I am doing it. And there is another thing I have noticed: I seem to have developed a kind of immune system - I literally couldnt go for the big tech option, when I tried in the past. Natural immunity against big tech - an evolutionary advantage in this day and age. Gm.
