In case you needed even more #research into social media being bad for you. #Harvard Medical School also published this yesterday.
> A 1-week social media detox intervention significantly reduced symptoms of anxiety by 16.1%, depression by 24.8%, and insomnia by 14.5%.

We already knew this of course. But here's more proof #Meta knew about the negative effects of their social media and simply didn't care.

OMW home from recording EP1 of the #Dutch #LeavingBigTech #podcast, where we discuss doing so in ways Average Joe can both understand and execute (part of the #IkZalJeLeren podcast).
Today we talked about #chatapps with #me, @marcelvandervelde from @angrynerdspodcast, @blacklight447 from @privacyguides, and @florianoverkamp.
Sounds #interesting? It'll be in your favorite #podcast app soon! Just look for "Ik Zal Je Leren!"

Soon a new #Dutch #podcast will start, diving deeper into the topic of #LeavingBigTech. #Me, @marcelvandervelde (known from @angrynerdspodcast), @blacklight447 (known from @privacyguides), and @florianoverkamp are on it as well as others 😉.
Details will have to follow, but behind the curtains a lot of work has been done already and we're recording the first episode soon :awesome: .
I finally did it: deleted all my accounts on Google, Twitch and Spotify.
This was quite a process, since my Google adresses had been my contact info for a lot of services for many (~18) years, and someone close to me has been making a living on YouTube and Twitch for ~6 years now, but unless we leave, nothing will change. I am here to support digital creators, artists, journalist, entertainers, any day – just not through big tech.

The recording of my talk about leaving Big Tech at the @nluug is now online. This is the Dutch version, the English one held at T-DOSE is still to come.
You can find the link to it and other stuff about me and what I did on my website: https://cambionn.nl
Or check the video directly on the NLUUG website: https://nluug.nl/evenementen/nluug/voorjaarsconferentie-2025/talks/jessica-tran-weg-bij-big-tech/

Both the updated Dutch and English slides for my #LeavingBigTech presentations are now online on my website https://cambionn.nl
Recordings of both are not there yet (in easy formats), but are expected to be available soon. Then you all can see how I did presenting for some of the very first times 🤪. But that's okay, it's about the content and not if I present like a pro. If it helps people, it's worth it 😉.
#nluug25vj #tdose2025 #conference #opensourceconference #nobigtech @tdose @nluug
@tdose is momenteel flink aan de gang, en we hebben het gezellig. Naast de interesante talks wordt ook de #NLLGG stand goed bezocht. Naast dat we info geven over de vereniging en Linux verkopen we vandaag ook #Ventoy sticks met meerdere #distros erop.
Vandaag niet gered? De sessie van ons lid @Cambion over #LeavingBigTech is opgenomen, en #tdose2025 is er morgen ook nog, en ook dan zijn wij weer aanwezig! Ons lid @sysosmaster zal dan ook een sessie houden over #DDEV.
Just for those who missed it, let me say it one more time. I'm at @tdose this weekend, and so should you!
I'll be doing a little talk about #leavingbigtech on Saturday, but I'll also be visiting to see other speakers and helping out on the @nllgg stand. So hope to see you all there!
3/3
Now those are the discussions you do it for 🤓! Sadly not many people #nerdy enough to have the understanding to say useful things in such discussions. So extra fun when you do find some and this #event proved great for that!
See you guys next week at @tdose! Don't forget to come, no doubt it'll be fun too looking at the schedule (which is up now 😉).

Woop woop! My proposal for @tdose has just been confirmed 🥳🎉🎉🎉! I'll be talking about leaving Big Tech once more. This time, free entrance for anyone and in #English!
So, interested in #leavingBigTech but missed my previous talks? This is your chance! And you can go watch a lot of other interesting talks too, as well as meet #opensource enthousiast and other cool people!
Exact time is yet to come, keep an eye on the schedule on their site 😉.
Well, there it is. Episode 242 of the @angrynerdspodcast is online on PeerTube. In this episode I was invited to talk about my successful little project of leaving big tech.
They got a first time exclusive. Me on camera and record, something I so far always avoided 😱. Well, we do it for the greater good: educating and inspiring people to take steps to do the same 😎.

Woop Woop! Guess who now has their own website 😃 ?
People asked me to download the slides from my talk at the @nllgg about #leavingBigTech and the #Fediverse so I made a little website for that.
I also figured that now that I have a website anyways, I may as well move the info I want to keep public from my #LinkedIn there, so I truly am on no #BigTech services anymore. So I did 🥳!
You can find everything on https://cambionn.nl/
Thanks everyone for the great day at the @nllgg meetup. Can recommend it to anyone who is using or interested in #Linux and #opensource. Like last time, met a lot of interesting people. And I can now say, they're a great audience too! It was #cool to hear some came specially for my talk about #leavingBigTech.
Like last time, left with cool #merch. Especially #happy with the #fuckofgoogle #stickers from @CEDO and the @os_sci #pluche!
Up to the @nluug conference!
Till alla som känner att det börjar bli dags att lämna #Google, #Apple eller #Microsoft, så vill jag tipsa om att #Bahnhof tillhandahåller färdigkonfigurerade #NextCloud -servrar. Dvs. man behöver inte köra en egen Linux-server för att bli fri från oligarkerna. För att göra övergången extra enkel, så har både Google och Microsoft aviserat att man kommer höja sina moln-priser, för att finansiera den AI som ingen har bett om.
