oh lol. stopped watching the video when he said to protect yourself when browsing sign out of chrome
how about using a non spyware browser instead? e. g. Firefox
Gasp…the audacity to even suggest something so obscene. Shame on you!
Step 1) Don’t use YouTube('s own client)
I mean, this video is targeting people who are still entangled with Google. If you aren’t, there isn’t much point in watching it, right?
If all the good content is still there, people will stay there. Open and ethical platforms need to have content to become an alternative. I hope this content is hosted on PeerTube and other platforms as well.
They need to solve paying creators and also what happens when if they get big. How do they scale. Hate YouTube all you want it costs a lot of money to run it and I don’t see federated service replacing it. Also the fact everything us still up there I see that being hard in federation.
I don’t think it needs to be solved, they motivate people to support through other means and have a dedicated support button. Sponsorships are also a thing.
Regarding scaling, as the name implies, PeerTube makes use of Peer-to-Peer technology to reduce the load of platforms and it’s federated without an “official” instance, which allows content creators to spread across different instances, spreading the load it comes with.
Oh for sure. I hope he and others double post to better platforms so they can catch up as well.
Step 2) Get a proper email where you aren’t the product.
Step 3: Stop using android unless it’s Graphene or something like it that’s de-googled. Because a lot of Google’s tracking is done through the play store.
I know this question pops up a thousand times but what email do you suggest? I’m trying proton right now.
Stick to Proton if you like it.
german e-mail provider . 1€/month. Enviroment in mind. simple.
Clients i use for smartphone is FairMail and on pc Thunderbird.
Tuta.con
If you like, get your very own domain as well, and make infinite aliases.
You still can’t have an alias go to multiple mailboxes, though, right? Or even forward out of tuta?
The terminology is a bit confusing, so let’s clarify. What you really have is just one mailbox, not many. It acts as a catch-all mailbox for all mail sent to any addresses under your domain. You just need to set up folders and sorting rules to keep things tidy.
So let’s say you bought cool.tech and you made a single mailbox like inbox@cool.tech. Nobody sends mail there specifically, but that’s where it all goes because it’s a catch-all address. All the other addresses mail is sent to were never explicitly created, but they can receive anyway.
Instead, you get mail to addresses like ScammyAppName@cool.tech and iJustWantedToDownloadThisOneFile@cool.tech, etc. Anything sent to those addresses gets sorted into two separate folders within the only mailbox you’ll ever need. If you want the same email appear in two folders, you would need to make a copy of it.
I’ll give it a go.
Do you have any suggestions on a maps app that is compatible with android auto or is android auto another can of worms?
Never needed to mess around with that, so I don’t have any advice.
As far as maps in general are concerned, I’m currently experimenting with OSM based maps. If you’re on iOS, you can easily get away from google by using apple maps. Not gonna get away from big tech that way, but still…
Fair point.
Although it does have the biggest exposure to Google addicts.
Any alternative client recommandations?
Thanks, will give them a try!
I am so happy for you finding newpipe now! Awesome client.
Shoutout to yt-dlp.
A digital panopticon.
The only thing I use is yt from that list, but I don’t use their client
Wish we weren’t stuck with YT, but Peertube and others are not nearly anp viable option yet. Hurray for other clients, though.

Post it on peertube, and you’ll reach the viewers who don’t even use google adware. Post it on YT, and suddenly you’ll have an audience that realistically could implement the advice.
