Yesterday I got open source vaultwarden running to replace lastpass (which isn't Big Tech, but if I'm self-hosted my shit, I might as well). Nextcloud also has a good file system, but I've already purchased a lifetime 2TB from pcloud. </p><p>Next up: replace Google Docs with Nextcloud/OnlyOffice (or similar). I gave a go at it the other day but ran into issues.

This process is fairly easy to achieve if you are correctly prepared for. There are plenty of even better alternatives for almost every app, services and so on. I did it few years ago without any issues nor problems. Besides.. tons of great made how-tos are now available online, so it is way much easier to get rid of google from your life. 👍😊<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FuckGoogle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckGoogle</span></a></p>

The_Caretaker<p>I really don't like Google and I also despise Apple. I want a universally usable Linux operating system for my smartphone which currently runs on Android. I want the operating system to work no matter the model or brand of phone and to be easy to install for even the dumbest consumer.
