As part of my degoogling, I need an alternative to YT music, which I currently use on a Pro plan on my Android device and sometimes in a web browser.

I want access to a mainstream music catalogue, downloading to device, no ads, and spotify is not in the running because of The Reasons.

It doesn't have to also be a podcast service.

$$$ services OK to suggest.

Another step in degoogling: I ported my number out of Google Fi today. I ended up selecting US Mobile, as a friend has been satisfied with them for several years, and I used their international eSim on a recent trip and was also happy with the service.

Next up I guess I gotta do something about listening to music on my phone. I'm taking suggestions.

I just upgraded my @kagihq subscription to a Duo plan so my wife could use it too.

It’s a terrific search engine with no ads or tracking. Never been a better time for you to check it out.

This ethical search engine will return your subscription money if you don't use it

How refreshing

I don’t understand why anyone uses a browser created by the company that turned humanity into a commodity.

We *know* Google sees us as lemmings to be captured and sold. Why feed your captor?

@protonmail Below, you will probably see recommendations for other great things you can do to #DumpGoogle. It's a big topic and can get a little overwhelming, but like anything once you get into it is is not that hard. The purpose of this post is to suggest one simple thing you can do today. But by all means, look into what else you can do; alternative email, cloud storage, other browsers, VPNs, password managers. But today, you can switch browsers... give it a shot.

This 💯 !!! This new action by Google is a very good reason to #DumpGoogle.

Did it yesterday, and very happy.

Check out this short thread >>> https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/111158313968879384

Here is the new Google surveillance limited system:

- Firefox (change search to DuckDuckGo)
- Bitwarden
- ProtonMail
- sync.com
- LibreOffice (Desktop)
- Collabora Office (Android)
- ProtonCalendar
- ProtonVPN

People also speak highly of Nextcloud...

So, planning to phase out Google and looking for recommendations. Data security and data privacy are key concerns. Current thinking is: - Firefox - ProtonMail - sync.com - LibreOffice Thoughts? [Edit: Got it set up today, and absolutely loving it so far. See below. Thank you for all the suggestions!] #DataPrivacy #DataSecurity #Google #DumpGoogle

So, one last update. With ProtonMail installed they pitch you on ProtonCalendar and ProtonVPN (they are just a click away...), so got ProtonCalendar on both desktop and mobile and just activated ProtonVPN. Everything works great and still have not spent a cent.

Total system:
- Firefox
- Bitwarden
- ProtonMail
- sync.com
- LibreOffice (Desktop)
- Collabora Office (Android)
- ProtonCalendar
- ProtonVPN

Total Cost: 0$ (though may someday do some upgrading plus make a few donations)
