What I can't do is write a funding proposal in libreoffice, because docx is the standard form and if your proposal looks odd they are happy to desk reject it.

You could always just use PDF. If there's no reason for the person receiving the proposal to edit the file, it shouldn't really be in an editable format anyway.

I also can't just use my own search engine, browser, social media. Well, I can, but I'll have to be tech savvy and will be isolated. This is by design.

Switching your browser is easy, you just download a different one. Vivaldi is from Norway, Ecosia is German, and Mullvad is from Sweden. Switching search engines is also pretty easy, including the built in address bar ones. On Android I was able to switch from Google to Kagi easily between the browser settings, and app. No need to be tech savvy beyond knowing how to install an app. Kago itself is US, but there are European alternatives, the steps to switch are just as easy.

Technically we're on social media right now, but most usage of that term means more like Facebook and that sort of site instead. "Social media" like that should generally be avoided if only to help with mental health.

No, I can't. You're obviously not familiar with such processes. The format is enforced, nobody cares about some dude asking for money and then also asking to use a different format. Won't happen.

Vivaldi is from Norway

Uses chrome under the hood

Ecosia is German

Uses Google/Bing under the hood

Mullvad

Uses Firefox under the hood

Kagi

Is American

Technically we're on social media

Yes, and there are dozens of us!! Dozens!
