Suis toujours à la recherche d'une banque qui ne m'impose pas un smartphone sous Google/Android ou Apple.
Idéalement aceptant un smartphone sous LineageOS :)

Every Friday at 1pm CET I will be hosting 30 min webinars on the topic of "how to de-google" (and shift away from Big Tech).

Everyone is welcome, and I want more people to register as webinar hosts!!!

Wait, #Google did not include the new #Android 16 QPR2 Desktop Mode in the #AOSP ? And that is why it is not included in #LineageOS 23.2 ?

I don't know which swearwords to use in order to express my disappointment.
Well, one more reason to dislike Google and encourage people to #deGoogle their life.

Sadly, the page 4 of slides of #FOSDEM talk "Mainline kernel for Fairphones - 2026 update" shows that #PostmarketOS on #Fairphone 4 still doesn't do video out.

Good morning Fedi! I'm working on #degoogleing my life right now and moving to open source or privacy focused alternatives from not evil corporations. I think I've got most of the basics covered on a personal level, although more suggestions are welcome!
I'm (re)starting my #virtualassistant business from scratch, and I'm looking for open source tools to use and recommend to my clients. Is #BillionaireFreeBusiness a thing? My goal is to run my business 100% Google/Amazon/billionaire free, including servers. Unfortunately, I'm not able to self-host, and neither can a large portion of my potential client base.
I stumbled upon Odoo and it seemed like a dream come true... all in one open source with free then *very* reasonable (actually mind blowing) plans. But they use Google and Amazon (legacy) servers, although another company is listed first, I'm assuming that one's managing most of the European servers. And also Google analytics and a few other tools/integrations. Does anyone have suggestions for something similar that's #googlefree ?
What other #opensourcebusinesstools are you using? Particularly #CRM / #ERP type tools. And/ or individual tools for things like newsletters, Calendly and Drive alternatives (specifically for real-time file collaboration and storage), zoom alternatives, etc. Things that are user-friendly. Bonus points for eco friendly options!
TIA for any recomendations!

PS- I survive capitalism by helping people who give a crap about the world with wingman and wordsmith support. If you want to be part of building a better world, in big ways or small, I'd love to connect! Let's help each other survive the world we live in while working towards the one we want to live in.

I've finally had it with Google Maps. They've been picking random stores as 'landmarks' during navigation, and I missed a turn because of it yesterday. These 'landmarks' are clearly being chosen as advertisements (half the time they are small smoke shops that are not visible from the road).

If it weren't bad enough that they're ruining the navigation feature, they do it for the sake of pushing addictive products (possibly to a person trying to break the addiction).

I'm going with Magic Earth for now.

Is there any FOSS Text Editor with online collaboration features?

Gibt es eine seite über alle bekannten und relevanten #trackinglinks von google und co ? Man muss ja eine liste haben um #netguard die richtigen links sperren zu können ?

Google's policy requiring all developers to register raises privacy and autonomy concerns by centralizing information control. This verification process can be a financial and logistical burden, discouraging small developers while favoring large companies, leading to a homogeneous and less diverse market.

This de-googling process is so more time-consuming than I originally imagined.
