Another deGoogled iPhone
  • Yeah, Linux phones might not be ready yet and it will mean compromises and workarounds. Will be following closely the development of not Google not Apple phones, before pulling the trigger.

  • Probably not, but I really like Notesnook for its simplicity and just organize notes in folders. Anytype is awesome for more complex stuff, I usually use it for work, kanban boards and such.

  • I usually tell people the same, this is a decision I will have to live with. I am happy with Proton and also happy to support their growth, hopefully it will go well for a long time.

    From the other services I tried, Filen and Ente deserve an honorable mention. I was close to just go Mail Plus + Filen + Ente. But as soon as you do Proton Mail + VPN, you then go with Proton Unlimited and that is what makes the most sense financially.

  • Another deGoogled iPhone

    A process that started roughly a year ago with just changing browser and search engine, now feeling that I got somewhere. The journey ended up being more than just degoogle, but also demetaing and taking more control over my data and privacy.

    Before and after picture with notes:

    Chrome -> Zen browser (Firefox on iOS)

    Google -> Qwant

    Gmail -> Proton Mail

    NordVPN -> Proton VPN (I don’t use VPN very often, but have NordVPN through another subscription, now replaced with Proton across my devices)

    Google Drive / Photos -> Proton Drive

    Google Password Manager -> Proton Pass

    Google Authenticator -> Proton Pass / Ente (Ente Auth is only used to store my 2FA keys for the Proton account, other keys are stored in Proton Pass)

    Google Translator -> DeepL

    YouTube -> FreeTube (Unwatched on iOS)

    Google Maps -> Magic Earth (OSM on desktop)

    WhatsApp -> Signal

    Notion -> Anytype

    Keep / Notes -> Notesnook

    X -> Mastodon / Bluesky

    Reddit -> Lemmy (Voyager on iOS, dreaming of an eventual complete migration)

    Instagram -> Pixelfed

    Facebook -> stopped using

    Windows 11 -> Ubuntu (Only personal laptop, work laptop still windows)
