Goals for 2026:
☐ DeGoogle
☐ DeMeta
☐ DeMicrosoft
Can you tick any off the list?
@Tutanota Not sure if I already got all the tasks even years ago
Meta: I never had WhatsApp, Instagram or Facebook
Google: Does Invidious count? Or using their YouTube API to fetch video details and downloading the videos with ytdl-core?
Microsoft: No Windows in years. Only Minecraft left. Next concern: Microsoft wanted to buy Discord and now Discord CEO is a former CEO of Activision Blizzard (Microsoft), so could be harder to avoid Microsoft later -

Yep All 3 plus
Adobe
Photoshop
chrome (except the Linux version on the PC)
No apple
No twitter
Probably a lot more
I select the stuff I don't want net access on the 'droid and remove Comms via net & data (= my phone stays cool and faster)
Use "duckduckgo browser" app to stop all other apps talking to their HQ. so far this week stopped 68,000+ attempts to track / collect data about me if your not using it you are compromised!

@Tutanota Linux: De-M$ for 20+ years. Couldn't afford to upgrade hardware with every OS update. Most of my computers/laptops are over 10 years old, and many of them were free, from friends.
Am the admin for an organization's FB page, otherwise, I don't use it.
I'm still on Android, but most of the apps I use are from F-droid. I would like to use a phone with an open source OS, but only if it can be run on an under-$250 phone, and on my current carrier.

Done. Done. And done.
The only tie I still have to Google is the integrated map on my Hyundai Kona infotainment system, and I can't disable it or install an alternative.
Anyone know how to root an infotainment system?

@Tutanota I only have deGoogle left, slowly pulling away.

@IT_SME @Lightfighter @Tutanota what phone are you using/recommend for /e/os?
-
@Tutanota De Meta is hard
problem is to convince your loved ones to move out of whatsapp - then they convince other 20
which is next to impossible
@parikhparth23 Are you failing to get them to switch outright or just to install an app alongside WhatsApp?
