Abstract
In this article, I aim to talk about my personal experience using neat tools in FOSS, how it affects my choices when obtaining a new piece of technology, and how it might (or might not) affect the society at large, especially if it is to be pitted against the "convenience" delivered by Big Tech products and services, all within the context of where I live in, the so-called Philippines.
