Why almost no one recommending myKsuite from infomaniak? I see always Tuta, Proton, Ente, self hosting etc. Never seen myKsuite which is less than 2 usd per month per 1TB cloud storage.
What is wrong about them?
I asked the same question on Reddit and my post was instantly removed

I’m looking for a good FOSS podcast app for android. Ideally something from F-Droid, but anywhere works.
Sources don’t matter, just mainly free podcasts is what I’m looming for.

I feel like it’s really hard to be optimistic about the state of the internet. While some more technologically and politically conscious users might make different choices, 99% of the people will just keep using Google and following along whatever changes they make.

Archive.Today starting to use Google’s QR-based reCaptcha
#recaptcha #degoogle #datahoarder
The site has a few variant domains, unsure why, and archive.md, the one I’d been using, threw the QR reCaptcha just now, as per the attached image, while archive.today directly threw the good ol’ “try to verify a dozen times” version.

Prácticamente cualquier usuario se aprovecha de los 15 GB que Google, al menos hasta ahora, ofrecía de forma totalmente gratuita en su nube, para contar con espacio suficiente al comenzar. Ahí podías sincronizar y guardar tus fotos, archivos y emails, pero como se veía bien, están recortando esa opción para que todo el mundo pase por el aro y termine pagando una suscripción.

My website has grown to 20 categories.
Please check it out. Which important categories and alternatives are missing? What should be removed again?
(I’ve noted earlier feedback to consider removing Proton, Brave, Signal. Which I will try to address by next month.)
I’ve added the controversial topic of AI…

Google wants its AI to see all the photos of “you and your loved ones.” Billions of users must now decide.

I just had an encounter of the turd kind with a banking app that I want to share.
I’m in the process of migrating to a new degoogled phone (GrapheneOS) and upon installing the app in question via Aurora Store, it gave me an error message, saying it had not been installed from a “trustworthy” source. It would, therefore, refuse to…

I _implore_ you not to advise me to ditch the phone for Pixel. That’s a topic for another day. This post is about how far I can push the limits on an inherently spyware riddled Samsung. I use the Play Store for USB Audio Player (paid) and an electronic ID app required to do most payment and government related tasks here. I am not…

Hi everyone! I’m still pretty new to the foss world and am actively working to de-google my life. I got a cheap used laptop and just installed Linux Mint so I can get some practice with Linux in general (raised as a Windows kid) and I have definitely appreciated the ease of Linux Mint, but I do plan to explore many other distros in the…

One of the most insidious ways Google has made itself an essential part of our lives is by being _just so damn convenient_.

After 6 months of painstakingly moving all my accounts from gmail to tuta, I finally deleted my google account today! No more google, meta, or apple in my life. Its crazy how much my relationship with technology has already changed. Deleting Spotify was probably the biggest change so far. Its insane how my music taste has expanded. I…
