It is funny, pixel phones gaining popularity due to de-googling. Something seems very wrong with that haha

degoogle yourself

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

I hear you. And it is ironic, I agree. The way I deal with it in my head is: I use nothing google in my life. (Except for YouTube via NewPipe). And I purchase a Pixel pro used from eBay when it is 1 year old, and keep it until I feel the need to upgrade. New pixel pro's here in the UK sell for £900-£1000, but you can pick up a used one on eBay only 1 year old for £300, and the money does not go directly to google. So my contribution to google is tiny compared to most people. If GrapheneOS ever do support another flagship phone with good cameras then I will gladly swap. But for now I don't see an option where I can have it all. There has to be a compromise somewhere. But I applaud your anti-googleism!

Here in the UK we would say "I will visit you on the 19th of September" for example. I have never heard anyone say the month first. It's just different custom. We also drive on the other side of the road..! At the beginning it would have been helpful if the world would have agreed on a standard either way. Then it would stop confusion. (And less car accidents from people on holiday/vacation on the wrong side of the road! 😅

There is a lot of truth in this picture. 2 sides, both shit for humanity. It's a big problem really.. Divide and conquer tactic.. proven tactic.

"Kagi Search" looks cool. The examples of searches look far superior to even that of google.

But it's $5 per month. (No ads) Or $8 for couples. Even so I think I will try it. The search results look really good.

Has anyone here used Kagi Search?

I use Organic Maps. But it does not YET have traffic data. So if it's an area with traffic jams, I use Google maps. But most of the time organic maps is great

I came across "Organic Maps" and it's really impressive. I now use them 50/50. The only real difference for me is that Google maps shows the traffic jams. So if it's a long journey I use Google, but if I'm not in a rush and just need directions I use Organic.

 

Which decentralized social media do you use? And why?

Interested particularly in comparing Minds, Deso, and Bastyon. - There is not much information on the web in this regard!
