In het kader van #deBigTech ben ik de mentale drempel over om mij te ontdoen van de #Smartwatch.

Mijn #Garmin account, plus-proefabonnement en #MyFitnessPal account heb ik vandaag beëindigd. Dat werd me overigens niet heel moeilijk gemaakt, omdat Garmin momenteel bezig is met de #enshittification van hun digitale omgeving.

Terug naar het ana/digi-polshorloge! Tips voor duurzame, stevige en robuuste opties zijn welkom. :)

Première lecture de l'année pour donner le ton.
Pourquoi l'argument "je n'ai rien à cacher" doit être déconstruit.

Simplement pour conserver sa liberté de penser, de vivre et d'exprimer.

Belle et heureuse année 2026

“I have nothing to hide”: Why Privacy Matters

Does this statement make your hair stand on end? Unfortunately, the “nothing to hide” argument has persisted for far too long and often prevents any constructive discussion about privacy protection on the Internet. It’s high time to debunk it.

Verheugd om jullie de allerlaatste foto en post te laten zien en lezen, die ik maak(te) via een Android toestel!

Nu rustig op uitvogelreis, app by app. Wat zijn jullie beste European Alternatives tips? 🔎

@Khrys crazy story... I degoogled 4 months ago and taking back my google photos was a nightmare too. But now I am free. I hope he will do the same.

@forumgbg härligt att se att ni använder cryptpad! 😀 👍 #debigtech

To my fellow #debigtech people I'm going back and forth between @obsidian, Logseq and @notesnook for my notes app. I have over 450 sermons, meeting notes and random pieces of information all scattered around that I want to bring into one. Each of the mentioned apps have their benefits and draw backs. So what say you Mastodon????

#degoogle #deMeta #debigtech.

As I continue this journey into retaking my internet data, security and privacy I've done the following
- PC OS : Arch - edit now testing Debian
- Mobile OS: GrapheneOS
- Socials: Mastodon and BlueSky
- Photos: Ente
- Email: Tuta
- Notes: Obsidian
- Storage: Mega
- Office Suite: LibreOffice
- Search: Duck Duck Go
- Browser: Tor / Zen

Can of worms I want to open..... VPNS??? Worth it, pointless, waste of money??!

I'm open to guidance with this journey

Had a fun weekend moving our work computers to Linux (Fedora) and installing FOSS alternatives to the Microsoft and Adobe products we were using. Now time to migrate our email off Google.

Anyone have experience with the online cloud storage Mega? I don't need a ton of storage, they are zero knowledge and e2ee. Their free tier has 20GB which is more than enough for me right now. I'm not looking to self-host just for something that can sync with Linux and Android.

Flashing GrapheneOS to a Pixel Tablet! The irony of attempting to #degoogle and #debigtech is it seems easiest to do buying old Pixel devices.
