I used Photoshop for over a decade, took several classes, spending thousands of hours using it. I quit using it when they wanted me too pay for it as a service. Recently I tried GIMP, and though it took me a while to find some things, I'm now doing everything I could do previously with Photoshop, ironically except link layers. That was the last thing I needed to fully endorse GIMP, and it seems to be exactly what I needed. Fantastic work!!
In terms of money, nothing. In terms of time? Several hours per week using offline methods. Keep in mind, I don't own a phone at all, and only use my computer for an hour or 2 a day at most. I do as much as I can in person.

That smart phones are surveillance/psyop devices, and that they own you, not them. I've been 100% phone free for 5 years now. I'm a 30+ Year IT expert. Also, fuck A.I.
I went to the NoKings 'protest' in Missoula MT and watched the 'protestors' all gather into a group and they walk down the road starting at the Courthouse. I chose too walk on the side walk, as the road was too busy and nobody was going to see my awesome signage and plumage. While walking down the side walk a lady in warning color orange clothing said "Would you please walk in the road, we're not supposed to use the sidewalk." I was dumbfounded, but quickly answered, "That doesn't sound like a protest it sounds like a parade." Come to find out they did in fact apply for a parade permit. hahahaha
The NoKings parade in Missoula ended up funneling all of the 'protestors' away from the roads and off into an unused portion of downtown that wouldn't block any traffic. I thought, "They've been cowed so well they even protest like cows while being herded straight to the slaughter house."
Seymour Hersh is one of the only true Journalists left that isn't in hiding, constantly moving, prison or bunkered up somewhere. We would never have learned about the war crimes the U.S. committed in Vietnam if it wasn't for his reporting on the Mai Lai Massacre, or more recently the Nordstream False Flag.
You're not wrong. I posted a scathing comment on LinkedIn about not giving Reddit so much as a click or view in 2023. A week later Spez announced the throttling of the API requests/paid API access.

I contributed 15+ years of content and moderation to Reddit, which they made private (not available to the public), because I promoted a peaceful protest of the Billionaire's Summer Camp. It's where the billionaires give the media there marching orders, AKA Operation Mockingbird.
Of course they didn't delete it, they just made it not public, so they can continue to use my data to sell to dystopic tech companies to train there A.I. I didn't make a complete backup of my data before I was suspended, and now it's lost to me. I was able to recover a lot using the Way Back Machine, but it's slowly being erased too. The only copy I reliably have is completely offline.
It's wasted effort if they think they are going to hide there nuclear subs. The traditional nuclear triad is very likely broken. Through muon tomography techniques, hiding nuclear material in tactical weapons may not be possible. The U.K. has been silently building it's Watchmen muon detection system for exactly this purpose. Here are a few links to get you up to speed:

I suspect that the U.S. and Russia have had this capability for a decade or more. Both have been working on this technology since Fermi lab physicist Bruno Pontecorvo defected to Russia because he was being investigated as a Russian spy. Before his defection he submitted a paper to the DOD showing how muons, a form of neutrino, can be used to detect uranium and plutonium. The DOD immediately classified the research, and shut it down because it was an ideological threat to the U.S. Navy's nuclear sub program. Shortly after this paper was submitted, Kim Philby a USSR mole, 'tipped off USSR', who then told Pontecorvo he was about to be arrested for his Red ties, so he fleed to the USSR. He was kept in hiding in Russian for a decade, while presumably he built this detection system for Russia.
BTW - Muon tomography can be used to detect and map deposits of nearly any heavy element including gold & silver. For instance, it's being used to map underground structures including the Great Pyramid and other ancient wonders.
I've been trying to organize a protest of the Billionaires since 2019. The richest and most despicable of them meet each year in Sun Valley Idaho, at the Billionaires SummerCamp the week after 4th of July. They've held it every year for 37 years, except for 2020.
This conference is where the Billionaires issue there marching orders to the Operation Mockingbird media: Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, but also old media like NBC, ABC, New York Times, Fox News, CNN, etc. It is attended by Musk, Theil, Schmidt, Fuckerberg, etc, but is also attended by several former CIA Directors, CIA propaganda staff and military PSYOP intelligence professionals.
Sun Valley is an extremely small town, nestled in the rugged Rocky Mountains, with only 3 main entrances. Protests at one or all of these locations would cause significant disruptions for the event, and would be very hard to ignore.
My 18+ year moderator account on Reddit was attacked, hazed, and eventually suspended for promoting this very protest. I was allowed to be doxxed by Reddit admins repeatedly, including a nasty brigading effort initiated on /r/SubRedditDrama. None of the offenders were sanctioned in any way, and continue to operate on Reddit hazing and harassing other people. At least one person called the FBI and claimed I was a dangerous terrorist, in an attempt to get me swatted.
About 10 days later, I was interviewed by the FBI, and thanked for my time, including a well wishing that my Sun Valley protest would be a success. I've a filed FOIA request on this investigation and other related issues to the FBI, and am awaiting the result.
I ditched my smartphone over 5 years ago, and will NEVER go back. In fact, I don't have a phone of any kind. They are surveillance/psyop devices, and they are turning people into biological robots. The scifi show Dollhouse is basically where this is all heading.
