What is an open source/ non-billionaird-owned-alternative to Google Forms?

I has hoped that Proton had something but they don’t.

Got Da Vinci Resolve figured (whew!) and new video is up!

It's about my frustrations with Google Search, three alternative search engines you may not have heard of before, and how to update your browser to get around using Google. (Chapters and Links in the description for the TLDW crowd.)

If you enjoy the video, please throw me a like or add a comment. Thank you!

Moje dane są wreszcie moje.

Rzeczywiście, pełna decentralizacja wymaga tu ustępstw, ale moje podejście to świadomy wybór:

DeepSeek – używam tylko do zaawansowanych zadań (obliczenia, kodowanie), bez danych prywatnych, z wyłączonym treningiem modelu i bez skanowania dokumentów
Facebook/Messenger – Facebook stopniowo zamieniam na Mastodona, ale znajomi jeszcze tam są, więc Messenger niestety pozostaje
Przeglądarki – zarówno Quiche jak i Brave to WebKit pod spodem, ale przynajmniej Quiche jest transparentny

Dodatkowa warstwa ochrony: Wszystkie aplikacje mają wyłączone śledzenie, dostęp do lokalizacji i Siri. Dodatkowo używam NextDNS do filtrowania na poziomie DNS.

To nie jest idealne, ale każdy krok w kierunku privacy ma znaczenie. Kompromisy są nieuniknione na iOS, ale świadomy wybór i wiele warstw ochrony to rzeczywiście robi różnicę.

Good morning Fedi! I'm working on #degoogleing my life right now and moving to open source or privacy focused alternatives from not evil corporations. I think I've got most of the basics covered on a personal level, although more suggestions are welcome!
I'm (re)starting my #virtualassistant business from scratch, and I'm looking for open source tools to use and recommend to my clients. Is #BillionaireFreeBusiness a thing? My goal is to run my business 100% Google/Amazon/billionaire free, including servers. Unfortunately, I'm not able to self-host, and neither can a large portion of my potential client base.
I stumbled upon Odoo and it seemed like a dream come true... all in one open source with free then *very* reasonable (actually mind blowing) plans. But they use Google and Amazon (legacy) servers, although another company is listed first, I'm assuming that one's managing most of the European servers. And also Google analytics and a few other tools/integrations. Does anyone have suggestions for something similar that's #googlefree ?
What other #opensourcebusinesstools are you using? Particularly #CRM / #ERP type tools. And/ or individual tools for things like newsletters, Calendly and Drive alternatives (specifically for real-time file collaboration and storage), zoom alternatives, etc. Things that are user-friendly. Bonus points for eco friendly options!
TIA for any recomendations!

PS- I survive capitalism by helping people who give a crap about the world with wingman and wordsmith support. If you want to be part of building a better world, in big ways or small, I'd love to connect! Let's help each other survive the world we live in while working towards the one we want to live in.

Is there any FOSS Text Editor with online collaboration features?

I'm currently filling in for a colleague and suggested I take a look at open source on site. I showed #fdroid , #deltachat / #ArcaneChat , #simpmusic & of course #mastodon or #bluesky. People were really excited. You just have to show people the alternatives.

Well. They've either somehow been cowed -- or completely taken over -- by fascist filth.

I don't think they're going to pull a Disney and reverse course on this.

Please to recommend realistic alternatives for Google's services. In particular:
- GMail
- Google Calendar
- Google Docs
- Google Drive
- YooToob
