@cyberlyra made a very compelling argument for ditching Google. i've heard this many times but this was the first time anyone had spoken about where to go to do this.

I listened to the episode last night and just today switched to Duck Duck Go, set up a proton drive, and moved all my files over. this weekend i'll set up a second, not Google, user profile on my phone and rearrange all my apps. then i'll actually use signal instead of g chat.

Techtonic’s signoff tells you to “get off Google,” and Janet Vertesi shows how it’s done. Janet founded the Opt Out Project to show people how to switch from Big Tech surveillance platforms to better, community-minded alternatives.
