Brands I Boycott and Why

An ever-evolving list of brands I boycott and why as well as the last date I supported them. I'll continue to update this list as I learn more and detach myself from the firm grip of big tech and corporatism.

I recognise, as a tech worker, that we've created quite the hydra, so detaching ourselves becomes much more complicated than it ever should be. I also recognise that like the capitalistic umbrella tech operates under, we are somewhat stuck using certain technologies (for example, I am writing this here on GitHub, which refuses to drop ICE as a contract.).

I am not perfect and recognise this can be seen as moralistic. I am doing this to share information that may help influence your decisions. They may not. That's up for you to decide.

My hope is to encourage everyone to be more thoughtful in how they vote with their wallets.

Keyboard-only Mac Cheatsheet

Hi, I'm Lorna and I don't use a mouse. I have had RSI issues since a bad workstation setup at work in 2006. I've tried a number of extra hardware modifications but what works best for me is to use the keyboard and only the keyboard, so I'm in a good position and never reaching for anything else (except my coffee cup!). I rather unwisely took a job which required me to use a mac (I've been a linux user until now and also had the ability to choose my tools carefully) so here is my cheatsheet of the apps, tricks and keyboard shortcuts I'm using, mostly for my own reference. Since keyboard-only use is also great for productivity, you may also find some of these ideas useful, in which case at least something good has come of this :)
