    Don’t forget about our dearly departed Econolines. “Weren’t those vans?” you may be asking yourself and, body wise, yes. But their internals were the exact same as the Ford F-series pickups and, god damn, those things were tough. Anybody from a blue collar background, like myself, will surely have some nostalgic memories of these things. Sure, they were just polluting as their pickup counterparts but much more useful and practical than today’s land yachts.

    Everything. Software, usability, customization, community, you name it. Using Linux has advanced and keeps advancing my computer literacy skills. This would have never happened if I kept using Windows. There’s also the “activist” angle. By using Linux and other FOSS software, I feel like I’m disengaging the worst parts of modern life and society and taking power away from the corpos even if it doesn’t have huge impact.








    1. Bandcamp. You can pay the artist or indie label directly. Sure, you might not find really big name artists on there but you wil find a lot of classics from yesteryear. For example, Mastodon’s (the band) first two albums from they were signed to Relapse Records. Plus you can download in high quality formats like FLAC and WAV.

    2. Physical media like CDs and vinyls. Super high quality but three things to consider: money, space and patience

    3. Ad-silence. Works with both Spotify and Tidal. There’s also xmanager but that only works with Spotify.

    4. My personal favorite: Sailing the high seas.
