Parte 0 - Introducción

Creo este hilo para todas las personas interesadas en quitarse de encima todo lo de Google, Meta, etc, evitando que usen nuestra información para ganar dinero a nuestra cuenta, además de para controlar quë hacemos en cada momento, coartando nuestras libertades (con la convivencia de todos los gobiernos de cualquier pelaje) y los grandes fabricantes de teléfonos móbiles y otros disportivos de todo tipo.

También voy a dar alternativas útiles y funcionales, las que conozco y uso. Muchas veces bastante mejores y más eficientes que las originales.

El hilo es colaborativo, sentios libres de aportar lo que o considerais oportuno, .

Claro que sí estáis en la red Mastodon y en el Fediverso, es precisamente para evitar a estos buitres... 🤣

Las partes primera y segunda son de conceptos básicos a entender, antes de entrar en materia. Usaré un lenguaje sencillo pero aquellos que ya entiendan puedan esperar a la tercera parte, donde l entraré más en profundidad acérca de por qué hay qué hay que actuar YA por un mundo digital libre de verdad..

Espero que os guste y sirva. Comentarios y aportes, bienvenidos siempre.

Mañana, la parte 1 (espero)

How-To Geek: De-Googling Android is simpler than you think—no special phone required. “I recently swapped out my beloved Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 for a de-Googled Android phone, but I was devastated to learn that my group chats would no longer be accessible. I’ve since switched back to regular Android, but I’ve learned a much simpler way to de-Google in the process—one that comes with […]

Next step in #degoogling. I've put Organic Maps on my home screen, to encourage myself to open that more than Google Maps.
Organic Maps・Offline Map & GPS | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

Get reliable offline maps with GPS navigation for hiking, cycling, and travel.

Very happy with #grapheneos so far as my new daily driver. I don't use Play Services at all. Saved a couple hundred on an open-box Pixel 8. Ask me anything if you are Graphene-curious.

Hi fedi folk - It’s lovely to be here! I just moved from mastodon.social to sunny.garden and think it’s time for an #introduction.

I’m Bearina, 30-something from Mannheim, Germany. I make #zines, #ArtistTradingCards and have become a #printmaker recently. I also got back into #photography a few days ago which was my first hobby. I got my first point and shoot camera when I was 12 and fell in love with it before that, using my parents camera and strolling through the neighborhood. I like seeing creativity around me and love to get inspired by other artists.

#SciFi is my jam and I love movies in general. And bears! Lovely creatures.

#DeGoogling right now! Also I’m working on relaunching my website and make it more #IndieWeb friendly and #accessible but also give it a bit more personality. I want to start a blog and share my thoughts. Which reminds me: Words are hard! I try my best but not always succeed.

I’m so excited to meet new people! I toot in German and English.
