Used Google Takeout to get all my photos from Google Photos. Right now I’m downloading 18 zip files, 2 GB each. Then I have to put together the file structure so I can put it together somewhere else. Very messy process.

Open to suggestions on how to deal with this. Meanwhile, I’ll copy all this in a couple of hard drives. #degoogle

Are you one of those people who is still incapable of using words like ‘maps’, ‘translate’ or ‘search’ without compulsively adding the word ‘google’ in front of them? Then today is an excellent day to take your first little baby steps to #deGoogle buy-european.net/en/alternati...

@edwinkremer There are options beyond the Apple-Google duopoly:

Reclaim control over your digital life with a degoogled mobile OS that not only doesn't serve you ads, but even blocks third party trackers while you browse the internet!

A great moment in time that I will always remember very fondly. And RIP Mac Pro! But I was very ready to move on and find that magic again with Open Source.

Apple’s biggest product in its 50-year history surprised the engineers who designed it

Apple had never built anything so complex. But it was at a crossroads.

I have to confess that NerdVPN's prank actually had me fooled for a hot minute.
(Invidious has a nice interface, but the backend is supposedly kind of a mess and the maintainers/hosters have to work around Youtube's restrictions at the same time)

Indeed, even without any apps installed, Google is making a shocking number of connections. Degoogling is the way forward, at the operating system level. IodéOS blocks third-party trackers and ads at the OS-level, giving you complete control over the connections each app on your device makes to the wifi, cellular or vpn connections. #iodeOS #trackers #degoogle #digitalsovereignty
