@Wtebbens Couldn´t agree more, and one of the biggest changes we can do as individuals is to make sure the hardware (laptops and cellphones) we buy are #MadeInEurope and run operating systems free from silicon valley spyware. Time to #degoogleyourlife with a #Fairphone or a #shiftphone running #IodeOS or Murena.

So I went to F-Droid and attempted to download the public transport plugin for Kvaesitso.

And I got a Google Play Protect popup message warning "harmful app detected".

It gave no further details about why this app is harmful.

Does anyone know if this app is harmful? If so how?

Or is this Google being a monopolist and blocking competing open source apps?

I got an email from UK fact checking organisation Full Fact yesterday saying that Google had withdrawn funding from them, a million quid a year. That's a drop in the ocean to Google. Does Google want to be the only source of truth? #fullfact #degoogleyourlife

🔍 Time to change your #SearchEngine

⚠️ Despite the big variety of open-source safe alternatives, #Google remains the most used search engine in the world, with 90% of online searches. HOW? Google pays independent browsers, like Firefox and Safari, to be Google-by-default. It is a monopolistic practice for which they were sued.

A friend sent me a google maps app link and luckily I found this nice little website which helped me to convert it to an osm link and coordinates, so I didnt have to use some google app to find out the location! 🙌

@watchfulcitizen @bitwarden … I started to say ‘no, not a password vault’ (fwiw, am content with bitwarden for that). Searched the App Store and found the Bitwarden Authenticator app.

Shiny! #degoogleyourlife
