Unfrozen Caveman here...

I've recently switched to Apple Mac M4 and am already struggling to get caught up. Short on skills and patience.
I'm already looking for a Progressive alternative to AT&T, regarding their politics, and upping the rate by about six percent.
Now, Google is expressing their Conservative (?) Bent and bailing out of California and shitting on them that brought 'em.
Their tentacles are all over my apps, and I'm in the process of showing them the door.
Can anybody steer me onto the road out of these Deplorable places, and untangling them from my Life?
Music, and trying to Remain Free are my Worldly occupations, along with the Relationships that make my Life worth Living.
It is a problem that much of that means I have to consort with The Devil, and his Malignant Minions. I want to get a leg loose and leave them behind.
They won't miss my commerce at all, but at least I will not have their stink on me?
It's a Forlorn Hope, I know, but that's the nature of being powerless among cretins.
