Man stelle sich mal vor, all das Geld was in Deutschland und Europa für Office & Co Microsoft in den A** geblasen wird hätte man in eine europäische gemeinnützige Organisation gesteckt, die Open Source Alternativen baut, oder bestehende Open Source Lösungen aufs nächste Level hebt. Was für ein verschenktes Potential. #deshittification

It is possible, but it is some work. There are sites which do not allow changing an email ... Sigh

The "utopian" vision of the Web and search engines is manifesting again; no ads, people first: https://blog.kagi.com/small-web. Why "utopian" or "again"? Because that's how the Web used to be at inception, and how it's supposed to be.

Some of the objections to the online safety act are about privacy and the poor security of much of the internet.
As an industry we have a very poor track record of caring about security and privacy. At least as demonstrated by the systems we deliver.
I have yet to work somewhere that privacy and security take priority over features and deadlines.
GDPR seems to be an attempt to fix this - it needs better enforcement.

Libre Office can create QR codes, too:

Belated #3GoodThings from yesterday (Wednesday):
- got woken up at 2:15 and couldn't sleep anymore, so I transcribed some #grandma recordings
- in presence office day was really nice, in terms of interactions
- our zoom meeting for @WikiTree_Stammtisch was nice and there was even a positive notion towards moving from #Discord to #Signal with our chat
OMG! Jeg har nettopp oppdaget udm=14 og udm=56 som parameter på googlesøk. Og mens jeg stort sett bare bruker DuckDuckGo, så må jeg av og til innom google for å finne noe. 14 stripper bort ræl og 56 fjerner enda mer og gir en side ala 1996. Se eksempler! Kan være litt knotete å legge til udm selv så bruk disse to sidene når du søker:

A bit of a WIP, here is a quick look at what it might take to move away from the Google services I currently use. Please feel free to add ideas or criticism to the thread, I hope for this to become a wider conversation (even if it doesn't, I'll keep on plugging away at it).
Getting rid of the G00gl3 in your life is a daunting task, especially if you've been deeply invested in the platform like me. In order for such an undertaking to make any sense at all, I will have to subdivide the whole thing into different categories, and then divide it further into smaller "story/task" chunks. This has been done by well-known people, but with mixed success. I don't claim to have a silver bullet, but I will take partial over zero success. Let the #deshittification begin!
Comprehensive guide how to setup your own mobilizon instance. Mobilizon is an ActivityPub (fediverse!) powered event organizing platform that’s fully federated. It’s meant to act as a replacement for toxic silos like meetup.com or facebook groups.

@cw @pluralistic maybe also with #deshitification and #enshitification, consider adding tags to the spelling Cory Doctorow used, and possibly a lot more people on the internet would find it easier. Not knocking anyone's spelling variations, just trying to boost your signal further because I agree! -- hope you don't mind me adding the main ones I've seen around. #enshittification #deshittification #deshittify #enshittified #enshitty #enshittocene #enshittening
After today's announcement by Apple in the UK and with the way data security is headed here in the States, I'm creating a "#deshittification to-do list" to remove services from my life that were once useful and may have even initially been founded with the best of intentions. The services on this growing list have now frankly and simply, gone to sh!t due to the childish insecurity, fear, and greed of either their founding fathers or current operating administrations.
- Amazon Prime
- Google Apps
- Microsoft O365
- iCloud
As @pluralistic has taught us, #enshittificaton has made it harder due to switching costs that not only involves convincing our friends and family to move to federated and more ethical platforms, but in the time and even money it takes to move data, configure self-hosted solutions, and even decide whether anything that we don't directly control is trustworthy of our data and its associated metadata.
"Ethical" "do no harm" mission statements burned me once. I won't get fooled again.
I've been spending less time in the Google cloud than ever before.
To use certain services, Google requires creating a "project" (like Map API's, etc...), and storing a Credit or Bank card. I've always been under their traffic limit so the services have been free, but they can, and probably will, change this at some point in the near future.

Your phone isn't slow, the default apps are. Just replaced my texting app, camera and keyboard. Once you remove the "thinking" and spying functions; apps actually work.
I'm on a 2021 Motorola g power for context.
Just deleted google cookies and site data in my main browser. They've been there for over ten years (at least)!
Made a new Firefox profile just for gmail, which I'll still need as I begin to delete my emails, etc.
Now surfing google-free. Things are weird, but it feels like the early 90's again!

Trying to get away from this type of language when talking about online experience:
"There are Users consuming content made by creators on apps".
It might sound trivial but notice the humanizing effect when we talk about it more like this instead:
"There are people, looking to enrich their lives with useful information or engage with community online"
