Oh, also, @nextcloud looks like it could well be a viable replacement for Dropbox - in fact, having now installed the NC app on my phone & laptop there's a direct through-line from my phone's camera to the computer

Ever the IT skeptic there will be an evaluation period but it's looking pretty good & so far setup has been almost comically smooth...

Turns out I would, in fact, like to have a Google Docs alternative, so now I'm trying out @nextcloud via a personal (free) account at The Good Cloud - gotta say, looks pretty promising...

If it works out I may even consider buying some more storage & using it for photos etc.; already tested uploading from my phone & there seems to be an auto-sync function - might alleviate my problems getting pics & vids off the iPhone

I spent some time on whether I can #deGoogle my android 10 phone, I find that it not listed among the supported models at sites of e/OS or GrapheneOS.
I guess that I don't have too much of options here.
May be I should just use current phone until it breaks into pieces or until I will not be able to install an impoertant app (as it happened with my former tablet with android 4.4.4).

Are there options to de-google a Moto G Stylus 5G 2024 (XT2419-2)?

Qué bueno que ya cambié mi Fitbit por algo más amigable con la privacidad.

Pääsiäisen pyhien aikaan on ehkä maha täynnä mämmiä, ja hyvää aikaa siirtää pilvitiedostot kyseenalaisten hallitusten alla toimivilta palveluntarjoajilta Suomeen.

Hey fedi, I want to move off Google services for email at some point soon but with Proton Mail and/or their CEO’s statement earlier this year I’m skeptical about using their platform.

What are the best competitors atm? And what are their advantages and disadvantages?

Did any of us manage to replace the Google authenticator app? Finding an alternative is less of an issue, but how can current codes be migrated over to the new app? #degoogle #degoogleyourlife #buyeuropean

Ein wenig grobe Arbeit mit dem Schraubenzieher, ein wenig Schreibschutz aushebeln, ein wenig Firmware flashen, ein wenig Linux installiere -- und schon ist ein HP Chromebook x360 entgoogelt und läuft über Ubuntu Mate. Der Touchscreen funktioniert auch immer noch.

I wrote out my #selfhosting #photos setup for my friend @ketumbra and thought it might be useful for some people here to help #boycottUSA #degoogle & leave #BigTech

Something that makes it clear how much value the #broligarchy can extract from your photos is this demo website from #ente @ente showing exactly how much #google extract about you and your family when you use their photo hosting on #googlephotos : https://theyseeyourphotos.com/
