It can be done people! Slowly but surely...
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.

So you know i didn't even see the cloudflare / google outage.
it's what mean sovereinty...
you are not down when an US tech guy fuck up.
1 Find Piefed.social on r/buyfromEU
2 Make an account
3 Search for the app on the Google Play store, find nothing
4 DuckGo piefed app leads me to join.piefed.social, which explains how I can download the app directly from the site.
5 Right. That cuts out another middle man rather effectively.

With the US acting more and more like a rogue state, it's time to impose your own personal sanctions.
Bite the bullet. Stop using Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Google, Meta and ChatGPT - where you can. Hit them where it hurts and burst that AI bubble.
Most of the barriers come down to inconvenience.

I didit!
... aber ich schäme mich ein bisschen, dass ich diesen Schritt erst jetzt gegangen bin: ich habe erst heute mein Audible & Amazon-Konto gelöscht 🫣
Allem Scham zum Trotz schreibe ich jetzt hier davon, auf dass sich evtl. andere trauen den gleichen Schritt Richtung digitale Unabhängigkeit zu gehen. Viel zu lange, hielt mich der folgende Gedanke ab: Wenn ich mein Konto lösche sind ja auch all die Hörbücher weg, die ja eigentlich mir gehören!
Nun ja, wo ein Wille, da ein Skript! Und es gibt ja zum Glück für alles Tools (audible-cli & aaxtomp3).. also hier mein heutiges DiDay-Rezept:
https://mofrim.codeberg.page/de/blog/did-audible/
Am Ende habt ihr alle eure _eigenen_ Hörbücher schön, sauber in einer Ordner-Struktur, als mp3 portabel auf allen Geräten abspielbar, für alle Ewigkeiten gesichert und müsst der Amazon-Heuschrecke nicht mehr Geld in den Rachen werfen 🥳 ✊🐧
