Without having watched it, I'll guess stopping it goes in the line of "little by little, but growing ever more independant from it".

That’s what I’m doing…

Switch away from Google Chrome to [redacted].

Switch away from Google Search to [redacted].

Get a free [redacted] account and start moving accounts.

Use [redacted] instead of Google Maps, discover [redacted] is now owned by Google, buy a fucking atlas. Fuck this timeline.

Next step/shit to figure out:

Move my contacts off of Google.

The Last Thing I’ll Do: Migrate Photos to a self-hosted solution.

Edit: Why is this downvoted? Did you guys follow me from reddit lol

Edit 2: Removed any mention of software that may have offended people.

I can recommend HereWeGo as an alternative to Maps. I switched two years ago and I am quite happy with it ever since.

schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works on 25 May 14:46 collapse

Installed. But, long term, how do they plan to pay their bills?

Also, any advice for a text-to-speech engine on Graphene? Here We Go won’t talk to me without one.

SherpaTTS is what I use for text to speech on GrapheneOS. Works fine with herewego.

Don’t use Brave.

Also use CoMaps with RHVoice.

Milk@lemdro.id on 26 May 09:21 next collapse

Try using CoMaps or Organic Maps. I prefer Co Maps over Organic Maps but each their own.

Ente Photos is a pretty good Google Photos replacement if you don’t want expend the effort for a full self-hosted solution yet

What channel is the video from? I can’t copy the link into a frontend and I prefer not to load google in my browser.

GargleBlaster@feddit.org on 25 May 11:48 next collapse

It’s by proton. Here’s an Invidious link

Thanks

You have so many Google trackers already from other sites and hosts that not visiting it is itself more information than visiting it

Edit: forgot to add that I still appreciate you a lot I just mean if it’s for privacy, you likely have forgotten some fingerprint or script because it’s almost impossible to browse at all without doing so

Posted google link rather than nvideous. Why not just put it on peer tube?

“Stop using Google.” ?
