Today recommended open source to a kindergarten management and showed #deltachat / #ArcaneChat as an example. The management is now dealing with the messenger and will establish it as the standard messenger if necessary

#Messenger #goodbyegoogle #goodbyemeta

oooh... Mein Account ist nun nicht mehr herstellbar. Das ist aber schade (nicht). Ich hab nach all dem #dut und #dutgemacht fast vergessen was #google ist. 😅 #goodbyegoogle

I've been testing #deltachat / #ArcaneChat for a few months now, looking at what the #messenger is running on, testing some features & bots, I have 3 profiles, 5 contacts & today I've gotten two people to look at Deltachat again. Do I need to say more ?

Happy #DiDay 🎉
I switched from Google Calendar and Google Contacts to a self-hosted #Radicale instance (CalDAV & CardDAV) on my #homeserver

@wodrow nicht ganz. Google greift über die verschiedenen Google-Diensten alle möglichen Daten ab. Besonders krass noch viel mehr in Verbindung mit dem Handy. Die Daten die man "freiwillig ins Suchfenster" eingibt sind wohl am harmlosesten... #goodbyegoogle

I’m going back to my original love🍎Apple🍏.

Ancient history: I fell in love🥰 with the Apple IIe waaaay back in the early 80’s. Even tho it was monochrome (green on black) it was Superior to my Commodore at home 🏡 in almost all aspects. Thru the years I have happily & successfully supported whatever cheap HW & crap💩ware that other vendors produced, i.e. Atari, IBM, M$, Intel, Google, Alphabet … ¡no mas!

Just installed FUTO keyboard on my phone because your keyboard shouldn't connect to the internet. It was simple and it works just fine #privacy #globalswitchday #goodbyegoogle #FUTOkeyboard
Nu har jag nästan bara 30 4gigs filer kvar att ladda hem..#goodbyegoogle
I stopped using Google services a while ago.

I’ve written in the past about my #GoodbyeGoogle story. All part of me trying to leaving Big Tech behind.

I’m getting there.

I have a domain through which I run my own instance of Nextcloud, to replace Google Drive.

The other domain I set up to use for email and other services (albeit it’s via Apple).

In fact, apart from YouTube, my Google account is unused for anything else.

So, why have I received an email from Google advising me to verify my own domain as my recovery email?
How is Google even aware of this?

Rhetorical question, I suppose!

Here is my current tech stack:

* Storage - #Nextcloud
* Photos - Apple Photos
* Email - My own domain (currently via Apple Mail)
* Maps - Apple Maps
* Browser - #Vivaldi (MacBook) #quichebrowser (iPhone and iPad)
* Search - #DuckDuckGo
* Social Media - #GoToSocial
