I stopped using #Google and any other #bigtech products a long, long time ago (2015-ish? maybe earlier). It's time for everyone else to move away too, and this includes #Apple, Microslop (#Microsoft), #Meta, #Amazon and many others.
ONLY use #openSource products:
- use #linux
- use degoogled Android ROMs like @GrapheneOS, and many others for any Android phone
- use @fdroidorg as your store
- use #OpenStreetMap clients (like @organicmaps)
- music: @powerampache

1/ 🍂 September is here, for many, this looks like a big #Microsoft or #Google logo with spreadsheets, documents, presentations.
For decades, Microsoft has dominated workplace productivity software. This dominance was turned into an unholy duopoly when Google Docs came around. #BigTech firms deploy aggressive business models built on forced subscriptions, product bundling & ecosystem lock-in.
This #DigitalIndependenceDay, let’s talk about office software & how to become digitally independent
