      To be more specific, i mean uncontrolled capitalism. There should be a healthy middle ground as with everything, but people tend to go with the extremes unfortunately. There are good things in socialism (ex. public healthcare) and good things in capitalism (ex. free market.)

    Yep, pure evil. Trying to use as less of Google’s stuff as possible, which is easier said then done.

      Some alternatives you could try:

      • Search: Brave search / kagi search
      • Mail: Protonmail
      • Drive: filen / Proton drive
      • Maps: openstreetmap (there are multiple applications integrating it)
      • TOTP: Aegis (android)
      • Android: LineageOS
      • (Or self hosting, which can replace google services)

      These are the things that just quickly came to mind, hope it helps :)

      Why would it be difficult? The only Google service I use occasionally is YouTube and I can do without, honestly. My Android phone is free from Google stuff and I use DuckDuckGo for searching since it launched. I pay a small subscription fee for my email and cloud storage.

      And then I ran out of things I know people use Google for. Aside from YouTube (in EU and US) I am certain you can easily do without them. People just choose not to.

        Because of work. I’m a software developer and one in a while I’m forced to develop stuff using Google software. Also developers search the internet a lot to speed things up, you can use an alternative for Google but usually not getting the best results. Now I can live with that, but my boss doesn’t like it if I take more time to finish my work just because I refuse to use Google :p
