    Ya but what’s the alternative? You only have a few large players in any space Google operates in and guaranteed they’re no better in terms of wages and worker rights.

        Amen to degoogling! I think the broad enshittification driven by big tech and their monopolistic behavior actively invites their own demise, just as they disrupted those that came before. I’m definitely an optimist, hopefully not naive. Also we should take things into our own hands. Don’t like it? Build it better!

        To add to your list: Peertube: federated platform that could compete with YouTube if it wasn’t for network effects. Keepass & SyncThing: password manager + file synchronization to keep passwords across all your devices

        So you’re preaching to the choir here. I daily drive Linux, Firefox, libreoffice, and keepass already.

        With the line of work I’m in I don’t think I could steer from iPhone or android. It would be too much of a pain in the ass. Are duo and LastPass even available without either? They’re sure not on f-droid. And that’s just one example.
