Just another example of why #DigitalIndependance is so important, and why GMail Gemini shenanigans drove me to Proton Mail. The tech bros don't take no for an answer. You are getting #AI and you will love it.

Asking for assistance is a great first step. My request for email alternatives last month gave me 2 or 3 recommendations and, after some research, GMail is now only for SPAM filtering.

I've quote-boosted your request so hopefully you'll get some responses.

I'm also interested in recommendations for Google Keep.
Google reminds me of Borg cybernetic implants that are hard to remove once you've been assimilated. But resistance is not futile.
I'm trying to convince my family to standardize on Proton to share calendars and storage to share photos, and Signal can replace Chat. A replacement for Keep means we can continue to share lists for gift suggestions, to-do lists and other notes.

It's time for Canadian Digital Independence Day. The 1st Sunday of the month is when you take action to reduce your use of #TechBros software and embrace #opensource solutions. Time to brag - tell us what you accomplished this past month.
Personally I have moved my email to Proton Mail and pretty happy with the change. Next - dump Chrome for something else, potentially Firefox.

Please boost for reach and tell us your #CDNdid plans.

Just a reminder for all MastoCanucks that the 1st Sunday of every month is Digital Independence Day. So on March 1st we'll celebrate by sharing what U.S. based tech we've reduced or turned off in our everyday lives. Make a list of the apps you're using from big tech and research open source or less invasive alternatives. Remember to share and brag about your success using the #CDNdid hashtag.
