On your own? Not much. You can stop using certain products, save money, and so on. But that’s mostly going to help make your individual existence a bit better/less bad. The CEO’s aren’t gonna give a flying fuck.
But our strength is in our numbers. Get organized. Maybe in a political party, maybe “just” in some sort of collective that helps in an area you care about. Help others in whatever capacity fits your abilities and your situation. And don’t expect it to be a quick victory. That will only result in disappointment. As a wise man (?) once so succinctly put it: “Apes together strong.”
Instead of spending 200$ a month on subscriptions, spend 300$ on a used PC, take a weekend to learn how to selfhost/pirate and then pay 5$ for a trustworthy vpn like mullvad. If you’re in the EU, send data deletion requests to every big company you’ve had an account with. Start buying things off local retailers, not Amazon. Buy computers/phones either second hand or from smaller/more trustworthy manufacturers…
And most importantly. NEVER. STOP. COMPLAINING. ABOUT. IT. The moment the complaints stop is the moment that bullshit is accepted…
The first thing you can do is not buy anything that makes the tech billionaires more money. All they care about is money: don’t give them any if you can help it.
for example:
get off of facebook (easy). don’t buy tesla or use starlink (easy). don’t buy on amazon (difficult but doable). Don’t upgrade your iphone, and don’t buy new apple products (moderate). Don’t use CHATGPT (easy).
I use chatgpt a lot, what is the best non-billionaire funded llm? I really need to change to one that doesn’t worsen the world…
Try hosting locally DeepSeek R1, for me the results are similar to ChatGPT without needing to send any into on the internet.
LM Studio is a good start.
That may be hard, seeing as all AIs use ungodly amounts of electricity. So I’d say they all worsen the world.
Call Luigi?
Luigi did his part. One luigi per ceo not one luigi for all the ceos
While I don’t expect more of this person, going the Batman/Jesus route would be helpful.
Edit: Although, I prefer the V for Vendetta method where we all anonymously fight back and take back over.

All billionaires should be required to prove they’re not made of cake.
