I would love to - but I don't have any! No Google account. 🤑
Some subscriptions at #Peertube I have.

What smartphone to buy: A device that is produced #fair an designed #repairable. Such as #Fairphone or #Shift. I for one prefer the Shift6mq because it still has a headphone jack.

What CustomROM to use: depends on your choice of HW. My number one is #IodeOS followed by #e_OS.
You can even buy devices new or refurbished with /e/OS or iodé already installed at murena.com or iode.tech.

A video about Digital Sovereignty on, er, YouTube? 🤢

@viking
But you still get adverts, don't you?

@Charger8232
So what? You use #Apple and worry about #privacy, #security?
Looks like a cognitive dissonance.

Don't put all eggs in one basket?

"nothing like Gmail"? Well, we have AOL, Outlook.com, Yahoo.
Suggestions: mailbox.org, posteo, tuta, proton, lavabit.com.

@CaptObvious
No, not "for the asking" but only on court order. And they even challenge those, see transparency report.
And targeted advertising be the lesser evil? I beg to differ.
Google combines everything they know from tracking you. And that's a lot if you don't fight against it. I for one had two evil experiences with them: (German):

And you have nothing to hide?
Oh well.

@CaptObvious @throws_lemy
"Seem"? An utterly wrong perception.
Does Proton
- read all contents of all emails (sent and received) and exploit them for targeted advertising?
- collect the metadata (who corresponds with whom)? and exploits ...?

The answer is: NO.

There is already: NoScript and predefined lists. Or Pi-Hole.

With Apple you get tracking and surveillance built-in. The Android world has clean custom-ROMS.

@Denalduh @spiritedpause
But that is not FOSS and it contains 3 (three) trackers from Google!

@Gooey0210 @promitheas
Maybe try NO versions of Facebook

@electro1 @promitheas

I would suggest to ditch #META for good.

@deFrisselle @ForgottenFlux Perhaps #GrapheneOS (and other #custom-rom) is too secure? Because it prevents surveillance. Just thinking. 😉

@filister @ininewcrow
That's right, no double standards.
Ban TikTok AND ban #META entirely!

@iturnedintoanewt @otter Yeah, that must be the famous "price for progress". 😜

@noodlejetski @LWD "one of the best phones"? I beg to differ. Are they produced fair? No. Is the battery user-replaceable? No. Does anyone have control over the proprietary BLOBs still necessary? NO!
