Problem #00001: Relying on googlevideo in order to obtain information on how to avoid Google.

Ah, yes, dreaming about hearing your neighbors through walls, being at the mercy of an owner’s association, and having no functional yard to speak of. I’m sure everyone will be on board with that.

People are only just now cutting Disney? A little late to the party, guys.

But the problem is Microsoft has such a dominant market share that you can’t really escape them. I guess unless you use a Mac or something I don’t know.

What constitutes successful avoidance?

For example, I tactically choose occupations which keep involvement of computers at a minimum. I’d already experienced the IT rodeo and decided I wanted out before Windows 11 dropped. Wisest choice in recent memory.
