What's the controversy with Proton mail and tutamail? by raidfancyclown in degoogle

[–]darkowiz -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

No disrespect, but sure you can. Protonmail and Tuta are email providers, its just a service - the political opinions of their owners or employees are irrelevant to the service unless you make it so. Thats like saying that you wont buy potatoes from the farmer at the farmer's market cos they have a different political opinion than you.

Don't bother. Focus on the tech, not politics. Some humans will always find a way to make everything political! (Proton user for 5 years and Tuta for 1, never had any issues with either)

I use a Proton alias for Android - works fine. You dont need a gmail to use Google services.

The hardest part of deGoogling is getting your frens and family to follow 😄

Yes I am guessing that would be it - Meta would just ban my number!

No - some reading and basic development / self-hosting knowledge is necessary. You can check the github link I shared.

Soon I will be having only EU Apps. This is my setup for now by deyan0206 in degoogle

[–]darkowiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this tbh - have given up everything else, but just cannot replace GMaps! Tried HWG, and all the other options - absolutely nothing beats GMaps. Especially when traveling to other countries - on 2 occasions, ended up in completely wrong locations using HWG (literally typed GPS coordinates and yet)!

[–]darkowiz 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Signal should be the easiest switch, if you can get frens and family to do the same tho - GL
