2016 was a weird time and you could argue it was the point when western politics veered off in the direction of populism over policy.

As a British citizen (sorry subject), it was a horrifying moment to be woken up by my girlfriend to learn that we had voted to leave by the smallest of margins.

And later that year we watched America elect a bonafide psychopathic narcissist as the president of the United States.

Why the majority elect to be kept under the boot with aggressive fiscal policies which reward the wealthy is beyond me.

Brexit was sold on lies and false promises of the ‘benefits’ Britain would see when we become ‘independent’ again.

Switched back in the summer for good. Use Firefox in my android as the default browser with DuckDuckGo as search engine. The issue is still relying on the android digital hemisphere as the default OS for my phone.

Edit : The only thing lacking is tab management. I know there is an extension. But it doesn’t satisfy.

I regret being complicit in allowing these silicon valley behemoths to reach a point where they’re indelibly linked to practically every aspect of the average person’s digital life.

At least the Fediverse and Lemmy are showing the way forward.
