#bigTechDetox

2026-01-04

Acabo de atopar unha ferramenta #openSource para edición de imaxes moi prometedora. Conta con curvas de nivel, algo que levaba largo tempo agardando. Xa vos irei contando, pero polo de agora ten moi boa pinta.

I'm trying LibreOffice in my office workflow, and today did some stuff with log files and date/time operations. LibreOffice Calc is more intuitive and seems to understand context far better than Excel. I'm so used to converting unusual datetime formats with a formula of nested LEFTs and RIGHTs in Excel just to prepare it for an operation. Calc just did the operation.

LibreOffice 1 MS Office 0

I’m now focusing with Mangotek on helping people + small orgs move away from Big Tech — learning Linux, exploring ethical FOSS tools, and making the shift step-by-step.

If you’re starting your own or work in ethical tech, let’s connect, share ideas, and support each other.

Together we can reclaim tech for people, not profit.

💡 Boosts appreciated & welcome! 🙏

Together with the company I share an office with, we started a #BigTechDetox. The idea? Moving away from the big tech giants so we can regain control over our own data.
Here's what we did:
Windows --> Ubuntu Linux
Teams and OneDrive --> Nextcloud (on our own server)
Microsoft Office --> LibreOffice
MS365 mail --> mail server at Strato
I put together a list of useful tips and pitfalls.

🚪📬 Tschüss & iPhone Mail – hallo & ! 🐦✨

Ich habe den Mail-Giganten den Rücken gekehrt. Warum? Datenschutz geht vor! 🕵️‍♂️💌

Stattdessen setze ich jetzt auf kleinere, datenschutzfreundliche Tools. Es fühlt sich an wie ein digitaler Frühjahrsputz! 🧹🌸

Probiert’s doch auch mal aus – der erste Schritt raus aus der Komfortzone ist der spannendste! 💪🌍

@Waterfox @european_alternatives fully support this! I've been using @Waterfox along with @ecosia since beginning my journey, and honestly, this combo made the switch easier than I ever expected.

Now it's my daily go-to on all my devices; smartphone, tablet, laptop, and desktop. Highly recommended!

I actually found @ecosia (and other great tools) thanks to your website
But I was surprised not to see @Waterfox or @alwaysdata listed there yet. Would love to see them included.

Ik deed hetzelfde. Ook een FP5 met e/os.
Werkt heerlijk. Een vervelend probleem met de Knab app.
iDeal en tikkies (etc.) werken niet.
Ik heb het gemeld bij Knab. Nog geen fix.

Verder gebruik is zoveel mogelijk webversies van de apps.

Nice!

Ik heb de laatste maanden ook de #bigtechdetox gedaan:
Windows --> Ubuntu
Ms Teams --> Nextcloud
WhatsApp --> Signal (in progress)
Socials --> Mastodon
IPhone --> FairPhone 5 met Murena E/os

Gaat moeiteloos en is leuk om te doen. Oudere laptops lopen als een zonnetje op Linux!
