Being true to oneself? Or focusing on the wrong things?

Twelve days ago, I wrote:

I waffle a lot on operating systems and my tech environment. I know that, given my view of current world politics and social organization, I should be using Linux and LineageOS instead of MacOS and iOS, contributing to open source, making open source products better, etc. I should be doing my best to get off of cloud-hosted systems where possible.

That isn't going accomplish what I actually want. A tiny number of people refusing to follow current trends isn't going to put the genie back in the bottle. While it may make me feel better about myself, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple, et al will continue to dominate.

So what are my concerns and what do I want?

That is a good question. I need to be able to articulate those before I can have a useful to-do list.
