    Microsoft, Google, Meta and Apple products.

    Bonus round: Twitter, Amazon, Nestle, KiwiFarms, Substack, American News and we all could stand to cut out some sugar.

          I wanted some Ovaltine the other day, then I looked at the back and saw who owned it. Back on the shelf it went.

            You can make your own using non-diastatic malt powder, cocoa powder, and sugar.

            I would.

            Took down all my stuff. It was years ago. Obviously they have their own copy somewhere in their Ai training database…

            But it felt good taking it all down.

            Like no. You don’t get to have any of my stuff with my permission anymore. You get to do it the hard way and fight my ad-blocker.
