Came across a site called DI.Day. It’s currently only available in Deutsch, with English possibly coming soon. It purposes that every first Sunday of the month is “Digital Independence Day”, where people are encouraged to break free from Big Tech...

#deGoogle question for those further down the road than me
#France has managed to #deMicrosoft and ditched big tech. I'm looking for courses that open source can provide, any case studies on what security options there are. Any pointers welcomed especially from my #French connections if anyone from government would like to help

More confessions from a FOSS enthusiast

There are ideas and values and practices that a FOSS enthusiast should follow, but well, sometimes I'm lazy

Pour le Pixel de madame, le choix s'est porté sur LineageOS for microG, au cas où y aurait besoin d'appli dépendantes de Gougueul. MicroG est suffisamment fonctionnel pour que ça vaille le coup ?

Is Wise (multi currency banking app) only available on play store for #grapheneOS ?

Still figuring out how to set up the phone. Created a profile under Users but don't really want to create a play store account with Google

What you you use?

Google Broke Its Promise to Me. Now ICE Has My Data.

In 2025, Google gave Amandla Thomas-Johnson's data to ICE without giving him the chance to challenge the subpoena, breaking a nearly decade-long promise to notify users before handing their data to law enforcement.

⚠️ Esto es importantísimo y sabemos que Google es un monstruo (por lo gigante y lo horrible también xD ), asi que tontos no son y la jugada la van a tapar seguramente con más anuncios sobre Shitmini, Banana, IA y más cosas "gratis" para hacerse millones a costas de nuestros datos.
Por eso aprovecho para compartir mi experiencia con el Fairphone 6, una excelente alternativa que no se ve afectada por esto, entre las cada vez más opciones que hay.
En mi caso lo uso siempre con chip de Digi en Europa, de 10 el 5G, roaming, todo. Una vez tmb otro chip de Vodafone en Egipto y cero problemas.
Me costó al principio acostumbrarme a la tienda (store), incluso estaba bastante verde y tenía algunos bugs varias cosas del celu, pero ahora está recontra pulido.
Lo usé y uso desde el principio con app del Banco Santander, Mercado Libre, Mercado Pago, Amazon, certificados digitales de entidades del gobierno, la verdad espectacular.
Tengo entendido que en Argentina las bandas de Claro, Personal y Telefónica son compatibles. Pero no sé el tema de registrar el celu con el imei en el ENACOM. Pronto lo sabré y les aviso qué onda, recen por mí 🙏

TL;DR:
Los aliento a probar alternativas libres de verdad, juntar la moneda y pagar un teléfono lo más FOSS posible, es nuestro derecho decidir qué apps usar y cuáles no, es nuestro celu, nuestros datos y privacidad! 💪 !!
Fairphone 6 + e/OS en mi caso y chau Google.
