minus-squarebaltakatei@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-28 months agoAmazon replacements: Audiobooks: Libro.fm (no DRM) eBooks: eBooks.com (specifically, their DRM-free section) Shopping: basically any major online retailer’s website Electronics: System76 (for gaming machines), ThinkPenguin (for FOSS machines) Groceries: your local grocer, lol. As for video streaming, it’s going to take a breakup of the Big Tech monopolies via revival of anti-trust laws to fix that. Hear the first chapter of The Internet Con (skip to 2m5s) by Cory Doctorow for more on that.
