Google execs can rot in hell honestly
I really cant put it into words how much I hate google right now… Capitalism at its finest
To be more specific, i mean uncontrolled capitalism. There should be a healthy middle ground as with everything, but people tend to go with the extremes unfortunately. There are good things in socialism (ex. public healthcare) and good things in capitalism (ex. free market.)
Yep, pure evil. Trying to use as less of Google’s stuff as possible, which is easier said then done.
Why would it be difficult? The only Google service I use occasionally is YouTube and I can do without, honestly. My Android phone is free from Google stuff and I use DuckDuckGo for searching since it launched. I pay a small subscription fee for my email and cloud storage.
And then I ran out of things I know people use Google for. Aside from YouTube (in EU and US) I am certain you can easily do without them. People just choose not to.
Some alternatives you could try:
- Search: Brave search / kagi search
- Mail: Protonmail
- Drive: filen / Proton drive
- Maps: openstreetmap (there are multiple applications integrating it)
- TOTP: Aegis (android)
- Android: LineageOS
- (Or self hosting, which can replace google services)
These are the things that just quickly came to mind, hope it helps :)
