String 'em up. If you haven’t Degoogled your life what are you waiting for? Throw convenience to the fire and dance to the cycles of the moon again.
Ya but what’s the alternative? You only have a few large players in any space Google operates in and guaranteed they’re no better in terms of wages and worker rights.
There are multiple alternatives to everything google offers. It may not offer it under one account and place like google, but its better than feeding the beast trying to swallow the internet.
LibreOffice for an office suite, KeyPass as a password manager, firefox and its derivatives for non-chromium browsers. There are plenty of options that do not contribute to the downfall of the open web.
Amen to degoogling! I think the broad enshittification driven by big tech and their monopolistic behavior actively invites their own demise, just as they disrupted those that came before. I’m definitely an optimist, hopefully not naive. Also we should take things into our own hands. Don’t like it? Build it better!
To add to your list: Peertube: federated platform that could compete with YouTube if it wasn’t for network effects. Keepass & SyncThing: password manager + file synchronization to keep passwords across all your devices
I should confess I’m a bad boi and use Firefox as my main password manager for browsing, and the rest I write down in a notebook because honestly nowadays that is pretty secure.
So you’re preaching to the choir here. I daily drive Linux, Firefox, libreoffice, and keepass already.
With the line of work I’m in I don’t think I could steer from iPhone or android. It would be too much of a pain in the ass. Are duo and LastPass even available without either? They’re sure not on f-droid. And that’s just one example.
Well yeah for work you’re going to have to eat the shit you’re given. I was moreso referring to your personal digital use cases. That can easily be managed without a single Big 3 app. I’m sure you can find APKs without the Play Store. Though I am not sure about LastPass specifically since it looks like a service you can pay for.
