@fedi_vol Willkommen im Fediverse und bei Mastodon! Bin auch seit knapp einem Jahr dabei, mit der ganzen Sippe aus dem Appleversum raus zu kommen (#deapple). Schon einige Schritte geschafft. Aber es steht auch noch einiges bevor.

@marcuwekling #did #didit #dutgemacht Meine Antwort auf die gut gemeinte Mail von #deapple #applemusic: Nö.
Heute ist Feiertag: das Familienabo endet um Mitternacht, wir sind mit 5-6 Personen inzwischen alle bei #Deezer angekommen. Pünktlich zum zweiten #Diday morgen am 1. Februar.

Want to feel what it's like when Apple keeps you from your own data? Try exporting all your Apple Notes or Voice Recordings so they're accessible on a non-Apple device - without using third-party tools and services. Good luck not swearing too much.

It's sad how corporate values are being dragged through the mud in the US, and managers are following the fascist dictator. Companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon have lost all credibility in my eyes. For me, that's a clear reason to go ahead with #deApple.

How to #deApple your life

Here is a nice comparison between the different Android projects based on AOSP.

Maybe this is useful for some folks out there. I've been using one of these for over two years now, and will never go back to iOS.

¿Alguien más por aquí transicionando el camino de #deGoogle, #deApple, y #buyEuropean?

Estaría bien poder compartir penas y glorias con personas pasando por lo mismo. A veces se hace cuesta arriba y parece casi imposible después de tantos años haciendo las cosas de determinada manera

Is there a way to deGoogle a smartphone? 🤔🧐🤓

En mi esfuerzo por hacer un #deGoogle y #deApple, hoy he leído la frase que mejor lo describe (aunque hablaba de otro tema): es como un divorcio, puede hacerse pero vas a sufrir

Estoy intentando hacer un #deGoogle y #deApple al mismo tiempo y, afú, qué en pañales están algunas alternativas. Aún así, despacio pero adelante con #Proton 💪🏻

Aunque la verdad es que me gustaría que la migración de archivos no fuera manual y tan tediosa. Y es una lástima que Proton Calendar tenga faltas tan gordas como no poder editar un evento concreto en una serie repetitiva… Cositas con las que hay que lidiar para dejar al imperio atrás

the low-res image he showed me was almost certainly something that was posted to and later downloaded from #MySpace.

#Immich was a bit of a pain-in-the-ass to set up, mostly due to me having photos going back 30+ years in a horrible state of metadata disarray due to missing/wacky EXIF, but it's already paying dividends!

Tja.
Ich könnte privat trotzdem ein Office Programm nutzen, meine Mails von einem europäischen Anbieter abholen, meine Daten, gerippte Musik CDs, DVDs, BRs von und aus dem NAS schaufeln, Nextcloud (selfhosted) nutzen ...

Finally got my iCloud subscription cancelled thanks to #GrapheneOS, #Syncthing, and #Photoprism. My photo library is now stored 100% locally and is properly backed up. Entering 2026 with paying zero to Apple or Google.

Hokey Smokes Bullwinkle, I came pleasantly close to making back the money spent on my #DeApple experiment. I learned a lot.

tl;dr - the amount of lifespan needed to bridge all the UX gaps was too high a price for me. That’s lost, but at least the hardware costs are turning out slightly less punishing.

Looking back at my taking-way-too-long migration from big tech companies, I am realizing my delays are from having to interface with my family, both immediate and extended.

Were this just about me, this transition would have taken less than a week. Here we are over a year in, and between hardware failures and toddlers needing to communicate and coordinate with geriatric parents, this is a pain in the ass.

I have so much stuff sprawled across so many services and data strewn about my home.

Vendor lock in is real.

And it seems odd that Apple does not want the language contained in the Terms and Conditions to get broad viewing, as I couldn't find it anywhere to download.

If anyone gets "the pop-up", it would be great if you could screen capture and post some of the details.
