If you’re in the US, you can easily find and write your elected reps here: https://www.270towin.com/elected-officials/
You can also find local groups like the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (in the UK) https://palestinecampaign.org/get-involved/ or the DSA (US) https://www.dsausa.org/chapters/ organizing protests you can participate in as our voices are louder in numbers.
Also, lots of sites embed the Meta Pixel. So to avoid it, you have to go into your cookie settings and block all of Meta’s domains and hope you don’t miss one. The internet was supposed to be a platform for all, by all…yet corporations have found a way to ruin the entire place.
Microsoft is like a super clingy ex.

Certainly Godot is the safer bet (probably why they are surging so much more right now), but Unreal is nowhere near as bad as Threads. Unreal is open source, and the license specifically forbids Epic from making retroactive changes like Unity just did:
- The Agreement Between You and Epic
a. Amendments
If we make changes to this Agreement, you are not required to accept the amended Agreement, and this Agreement will continue to govern your use of any Licensed Technology you already have access to.
Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner! Unless you have anything to do with Unity, because there are no winners in this shitshow.
To anyone not interested in bending over backward for Chat GPT, https://www.futuretools.io keeps a pretty comprehensive, categorized list of AI tools, many of which use OpenAI’s API, and many of them are customized to be be better tools for your specific use-case.
