Same. And because I can’t contribute with the platform, I donate directly via Buy me Coffee or Ko-fi.

Hyvää matkaa, Ozzy! 🖤

TASS is reporting what russian offense ministry is reporting… Well, do you believe these even yourself, Jack?

Congratulation! familiar list. The workload was quite surprising, wasn’t it? How many google/gmail logins you had to change? Youtube to freetube? Or how you going with that?

To me META was quite hard to cut off because there is not really alternative to whatsapp. However META is probably the most toxic from those 5 so it felt best.

Good article! Thanks for sharing.
To me the real work was to change (gmail, google) login from every place I been in last 10 years. How many places have you logged with google, all the games, forums, apps… Below are the links where you can estimate the extent of the disaster :

I cut off the big 5 (Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, META, microsoft) and Adobe as an added bonus.

Congrats and welcome. You are a good man.

if you go with the Arch, you can keep your Mint Cinnanon without troubles. wink wink

After GoogleOne messed up the dates on 120,000 of my photos, I store them both on pCloud (EU) and locally (EU). I use digiKam but more importantly I’m working on creating a sustainable process for my photography workflow now.

And the reliable news of the day is provided by the government of russia.

btw ukrainians fought the nazis up here in the north.

you are mixing up the basics ;D

The claim of 15-20 kilometers per day would represent an extraordinarily fast advance rate that doesn’t match current battlefield realities. The actual advances are measured in hundreds of meters per day or small numbers of square kilometers per month, not kilometers per day.

This is a bit like Trumps tariffs, we need to cut everything off but there is no real alternative services. According this infograph, Startpage should be politically correct choice…

Congrats! How many places you had to change login email?

Server building wise, Immich uses AI based facial recognition and need a bit more GPU power for that.

There is limited availability of these fine Central European colas in the Arctic parts of Europe. I am a single father of two teenage boys. They will drink any size bottle in one sip. So we have to rely on these cheap brands. One is Coop, which makes its Coca drinks at a local brewing company called Olvi in Finland. Coop is owned by Coop Trading, a Northern European sourcing company. The brand is present in several Nordic countries. Coop cola is surprisingly good.

I had a lot of Gmail addresses for every possible job and reason. I cutted them down to two email accounts. I tried proton.me, tutamail.com - proton being official and tuta casual, subscription email. I liked tuta but didn’t like proton. I replaced proton with mailbox.org paid plan and I have been very pleased with it. So 2 German provider, Tuta and mailbox. I ll keep my main Gmail rolling in my burner phone for 2 months so transition period is more merciful.

Nice ! To me Microsoft was easy. Google was huge job, because Gmail address was in every possible places. META was easy but influenced maybe the most to my everyday life. I feared that not everything would work with European custom rom android, but /e/OS was extremely positive surprise. Banks and traffic apps work just fine and smoothly.

I buy local Cola and NRJ drinks for my kids ;) No Pepsi or Monster.

“Brussels and Washington have been joining forces for years to tame the technology giant’s global ambitions, using digital diplomacy tools to convince third countries to ditch equipment from the Shenzhen-based firm.”

Well, Silicon Valley based has started to look a lot like Shenzhen based to me lately. And no it is not just Trump (like as it is not Putin).

Sorry. It’s a bit offtopic but in the same mission. /e/ is French AOSP fork, which cuts off Google from my phone. Google, Microsoft and META are the biggest root of evil in privacy world, META being worst.

Funny how much longer my phone’s battery lasts now after I flashed /e/ to it. No constant net traffic anymore.
