#nextcloud made it possible for me to (self-)host my (and my family's) phone calendars, contacts, and even when pictures are taken, they get uploaded to our Nextcloud instance, and NOT to google/apple.
10/10, would recommend for any household looking to #degoogle.
Others include #searxng, has literally replaced all monolithic search engines, works great, no ads or AI
Canceled my Google One subscription! Uploaded 90GB of photos to @ente. Deleted all photos and drive storage from Google and have my old gmail forwarding to my @Tutanota account. I believe I can have my gmail delete after forwarding, but I need to check.
You can now get push notifications using Reddit's webapp over @unifiedpush in browsers that support it. (IronFox and soon Fennec) #Reddit #deGoogle #UnifiedPush
Today on the degoogling journey: How can I make the best out of a Pixel's camera on #GrapheneOS? π€
The default camera app doesn't begin to exploit all the nice things that the Pixel camera hardware can do, and I do want nice things. π
Installing the Google camera means having to install the Google gallery to open the pictures and more google crap, and I don't want to go to a sandbox profile every time I'd like to take a picture.
Hey, @protonprivacy why so quiet? Are you accepting the challenge?
Background:
1. Proton's marketing team commented on our #deGoogle recommendation post on LinkedIn, complaining that we must list Proton Mail as well. 2. The entire marketing team upvoted their comment to make it go viral. 3. We replied, challenging them to publish a similar list with Tuta Mail included. 4. Our marketing team tried to upvote as well to make it go viral, but obviously we're not enough people π

GrapheneOS and android 15 beta upgrade. Pixel8 on the big screen, unbeatable. I probably won't think about a linux phone, at least not for a while, because now I have a notebook in my pocket, without google and most FOSS apps. Tidal from the phone looks good on the big screen, all other apps work too. #GrapheneOS #pixel8 #bigscreen #nextlevel #degoogle

I wish there was a decent Google maps replacement. Not just for navigation--that's fairly simple--but rather for local SEARCH. How else are you supposed to search for stuff nearby? Yelp is the only alternative I even know of and it's terrible. Nextdoor is arguably a contender but it's even worse. Nothing community driven whatsoever that I'm aware of...
