I want to degoogle my phone. I am running linux mint on my PC and i have a long term plan to degoogle my digital life from google, meta and microsoft. So next, smartphone. Currently looking for two options and saving money for it.
Murena fairphone (some cheaper model)
Or
Volla phone running ubuntu touch
Anyone has any experience with either one? Are these devices and OS really in USERS controll? Can you uninstal and modify EVERYTHING?

And not to mention other outside world like work. I get work related info in whatsapp. Big company will not hear my whining about privacy and choice.
So to the surtain extend whatsapp will be still mandatory. So sad...
How ever, i am still going to use signal and will push its use for my friend groups.
But what to do about whatsapp? Leave it be? Erase somehow my acount and use another bullshit one? I really don't know at the moment.
2/4
So, even if I change to signal some of my friends won't. They don't see anything wrong with whatapp. They are happy little products to be mined for data and they know it. It is a choice and everyone has to have that right. If we where to mandate people to use surtain services we would not be any better than shitty corpos we try to avoid. Its all about choice.
My choice will ve Signal. But i don't want to lose contact just because of one service...
Long post so 1/4
I have a plan to gradually faceout all meta and google from my day to day use. And eventually discord as well. And now i arrive at whatsapp vs signal.
I prefer signal due to its open source and anti corporate structure. Easy win right?
Not so fast. This is not my PC that is now running Linux mint, this is communication tool that is only good as people i communicate with. So in this case i am going to have to be signal evangelist 😅
Google bloqueará instalar aplicaciones de terceros pronto... ¡Cada vez más parecido a Apple!

Since google always scans everything people put on google drive i won't be using it any more. Sure i can have my burner account with VPN and bullshit info about me so that i can download something other people will send me. But i won't put anything there my self.
In the end i don't even need cloud storage. If i havent made backups thats on me. Just good data managements and some hard drives on multible locations is good enough.

100%, Google's Trusted Device API is a system designed for monopolization of the app store masquerading, and marketed, as security. A device running GrapheneOS, especially used with Auditor, are more secure than any other Android device. Furthermore, there is no sacrifice in integrity using official apps installed from sources like Obtanium with verified signatures using AppVerifier.
I just made this argument with a banking institution I use that updated their app to use the trusted device API. I will be moving my money.

Mulla oli luurissa (Android) ongelma, että Teams-linkit eivät auenneet sovelluksessa vaan selaimessa, mikä puolestaan herjasi asentamaan sovelluksen. Voi liittyä siihen, että olen poistanut Play Storen käytöstä ja asentanut kaikki sovellukset ilman G-tiliä Aurora Storen kautta.
Joka tapauksessa ongelma ratkesi sillä, että kävi kytkemässä kokouslinkkien domainin päälle polusta Sovellukset -> Oletussovellukset -> Linkkien avaaminen -> Teams -> Tuetut verkko-osoitteet.

I had almost asked about this.
If you need google something something just to use your browser, you still need google (alphabet, etc.).

My anti-Google crusade continues and here are some good alternatives. Also, they are European so what's better.
I know, these are small man's insignificant actions but at the moment I can do no more than decide what to do myself.

@pluralistic It would also force @mozilla to actually give a shit and improve products, instead of blowing money on execs and #AI-based #Enshittification!
Any one have any thoughts on moving from Google and increasing #security and #privacy? Thanks for the ideas and feedback. #antigoogle
