    Without having watched it, I’ll guess stopping it goes in the line of “little by little, but growing ever more independant from it”.

      That’s what I’m doing…

      Switch away from Google Chrome to Brave.

      Switch away from Google Search to DuckDuckGo.

      Get a free Proton account and start moving accounts.

      Use Waze instead of Google Maps, discover Waze is now owned by Google, buy a fucking atlas. Fuck this timeline.

      Next step/shit to figure out:

      Move my contacts off of Google.

      The Last Thing I’ll Do: Migrate Photos to a self-hosted solution.

        I can recommend HereWeGo as an alternative to Maps. I switched two years ago and I am quite happy with it ever since.

          Installed. But, long term, how do they plan to pay their bills?

          Also, any advice for a text-to-speech engine on Graphene? Here We Go won’t talk to me without one.
