Maybe it's just me but it's so hard to get rid of Google.... So far I've managed to switch a few things ( @vivaldi @protonmail , @PeerTube , @magicearth, @Mastodon , @lechat @signal) and escape. Unfortunately a lot of public offices and services don't even give you the option to use alternatives. But I'll keep on trying (I'm european and I'll do my best to support our tech) thank you all 🙌🙌🙌🙏

It's a massive pain to break the habit (iOS/Google) . The only woman in the gang actually won (🙌💪) . Apparently she's going to use the desktop version from now on. We're trying to do our lil part for Europe.
