Comment on I’ve Worked at Google for Decades. I’m Sickened by What It’s Doing.

I degoogled for the first time two days ago aaaaand, it’s actually way easier than I expected and actually, dare I say… fun?

Fun in that I have new apps to try, all over the place. I spent that whole evening combing f-droid for everything I need and got it all sorted out.

SMS? Backed up Contacts? Backed up Photos? Syncthing’d Passwords? I’m a card carrying Keepass user. Music? Pulled down my streaming service from Aurora and it just works. Email? Thunderbird’d’d Cloud? Mini PC’d and NFS’d Google? Gone and not missed.

Email? Thunderbird’d’d Thunderbird is only a mail client. Don’t forget to actually move from gmail if you want to degoogle.
