Push Nestle and Goya products way back in the shelf / turn them around / grab non- Nestle/Goya equivalents and put them in front of the Nestle/Goya shit.

Goal is to make their products less visible to other customers.

I get up.

Take that, bitches.

When I buy from a small business that I want to support, I will use cash. When I'm buying anything from a large company, I will always use the fanciest credit cards in my wallet.

In the United States, credit card processing fees are more expensive for fancy rewards credit cards and obviously there's no fee for cash.

I'm nice to others.

I read their names to owls.

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, thats why I poop on company time.

I reject fascist propoganda and I listen to antifascist music, I may not have conquered fascism from this world but I have conquered my mind from it. I also attempt to spread antifascism and class solidarity to every online space im in.

I peer pressure many of my friends into using adblockers and other tech stuff that gives them more agency.

Something that I'm especially chuffed with is that a I actually caused a friend to switch to open source software for scientific research. She's doing a psychology PhD was getting frustrated with the online experiment setup on the no-code experiment builder she had been advised to use. The platform didn't allow her to input the experiment parameters she needed and she was complaining to me, and so I had a gander at it, out of curiosity.

I expected there'd be some documentation showing how to use the experiment builder, but there was nothing I could find. Everywhere I looked, there were just more sales pitches. It seems that my friend was only using it because the university had a license for it.

I exclaimed that the lack of documentation and features was ridiculous, given that there's almost certainly an open source equivalent that does more, is free, and almost certainly better documented. I said that flippantly, but then went and researched that. I showed her a few different options and she ended up going for one called PsychoPy.

As one might be able to gather from the name, that's not a no-code experiment builder, but rather one that uses Python. However, for my friend, this was a feature, not a bug; although she didn't already know Python, she was keen to learn — "what's a PhD for if not to learn how to do actual science?".

I found it quite affirming because I don't know if she would have had this thought if not for me. I'm very much a jack of all trades, master of none, due to having many different interests and being spread relatively thin between them. I'm a better programmer than the majority of scientists in my field that I've known, but probably worse than most people who actually write code for their jobs. However, gaining expertise in the more computery (and in some cases, philosophical) side of science makes me feel like I've "diluted" my scientific expertise compared to my peers. It's nice that this problem was one at the intersection of my knowledge areas.

Pirating except when the service/purchase is worth it

I ride my bike everywhere. Don’t buy gas, need no license or insurance, can’t be tracked easily, no parking passes, and I can go where the fuck I want.

I work in ads and I use ad blockers.

I cook most of my own food from cheap whole ingredients. I'm almost completely vegetarian.

I mute commercials.

I thank gpt every time because apparently that costs them money.

I click on sponsored links via a browser extension because it confuses profilers and costs them money.

I dont want to repeat same things that many said here. I think all I can add things that me and others do is maintain my own NAS and services. No google photos, no onedrive, no netflix. Just selfhosting stuff now.

Support right to repair.

Edit and add to the Consumer Rights Wiki

Buy things I can actually own (not modern cars / smart fridges which can have features remotely removed at any time.)

Use solar power + house battery + V2G.

Automate everything with Home Assistant.

Provide free source code for all of my projects.

I pirate my media. The way I see it, I will pull one over on any company I can get away with that would absolutely swindle me given the chance.

Torrenting and seeding, if i had more storage i would seed for the Anna's Archive

I have sex with my husband. He's a man. I stick it to him. Does that count?

Linux, use that hosts file, degoogle (and as much big tech in general as possible). Up next self hosting.

Sail the high seas

Not everyday but every time I go shopping

Enter in cheaper fruits/vegetables at the self checkout if someone is watching and you can’t shoplift

Cosmic crisp apples at 3.50 a pound? I’ll just pretend they’re shitty 1.50 a pound apples instead (:

I'm actively working towards a passive income, and I am very low consumerist. I decided I don't need anymore devices (asides from solar panels/other forms of power generation).

Once I have mycrop, passive income, and elrctricity, "the man" is fucked without lube, because my plan is to rabidly "jailbreak" anyone who will listen by getting them to the same state.

Minimum bills, minimum subscriptions, own food, own power, anti-consumerism, mutual trade.

Do you see how this would affect an exploitative system once you have the option to just not participate in it?

The government would be forced to treat their people better, and so would the companies trading with them, because they are no longer as important.
