Todd AlströmWorking to deGoogle and deApple myself by the end of the year. Mostly involves buying a Fairphone running Murena's /e/OS, building a Linux desktop machine, and replacing apps/services, but the exercise of mapping all of this out alone is already proving to be fun, enlightening, and liberating.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/degoogle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#degoogle</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/deapple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#deapple</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fairphone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fairphone</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#android</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/murena" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#murena</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/eos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eos</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linux</a>

Large Format Projectionist<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DeApple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DeApple</a> It would seem that Apple decided to accept uploading of some of my MP3s, then decided I can no longer have them. Thet can no longer be taken out of the cloud.Some might be name-collisions, which is weird that they uploaded.But others make no sense. Kindly, though, they'll let me purchase some of them. Again. So kind.

JM Horner ™️Is there a way to backup photos and videos from an Apple iPad A1430 running iOS v9.3.6 to a Linux based machine without iTunes or a Windows virtual machine? I found a few App Store applications that support things like FTP servers, but none of them run on iOSv9.3.6.<a href="https://eattherich.club/tags/askfedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#askfedi</a> <a href="https://eattherich.club/tags/deapple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#deapple</a>

AndreSeriously thinking of dropping Google One and iCloud for the free tiers and use other services to fill in the parts I need...Currently the idea is to use:- For photos: ente.io - For files and documents: filen.io - For music: navidrome.org (initially on PikaPods, possibly later on self-hosting)With a copy of everything always backed up to my NAS at home.Looking at a cost of roughly 10EUR/month, whereas my current cost is around triple that.What I miss from this is actually the option of sharing the drive space (from filen) with my wife as we do currently with Google One.Anyone have experiences to share on this, or alternatives I should look at?<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/degoogle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#degoogle</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/deapple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#deapple</a>

DawidAs part of my plan to "de-Apple" my life, I need to find a few alternatives to what I'm currently using, mostly Photos, Drive and Mail. While I'm already working on self-hosting Photos (with Immich) and Drive (Nextcloud), I'm not sure how to proceed with Mail.Can you recommend any mail service to move to? I need to use my own domain(s) there, and it has to have duo/family plans, because my wife is also using mail in my domain.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/email" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#email</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mail</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/deApple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#deApple</a>

KanceptI wish someone made small, good looking computer speakers that sounded decent like the HomePod minis. I've got some really nice Bose right now, but it's a few cables coming out the back and they don't look as good. My Yamaha soundbar eats quite a bit of desk space. <a href="https://allthingstech.social/tags/deapple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#deapple</a>

KanceptI really wish there was an open source replacement for my iPad. I love the fluidity and integration with other gear and the pencil support across apps. I just cannot find a good replacement.I've found good replacements for my AirPods Pro 2 (Bose QuietComfort Ultra) and for my Apple Watch (one of the Garmin watches). The goal is to eventually be able to sell all my Apple gear as a bundle and be using hardware that my data isn't locked to.<a href="https://allthingstech.social/tags/degoogle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#degoogle</a> <a href="https://allthingstech.social/tags/deapple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#deapple</a> <a href="https://allthingstech.social/tags/selfhosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfhosted</a>

Andrew WedlakeOld news, but why we can't trust Apple or Google. Federal laws actually protects them, so they don't have to explain their surveillance practices. Trust neither. Apple says - "In this case, the federal government prohibited us from sharing any information," the company said in a statement. "Now that this method has become public we are updating our transparency reporting to detail these kinds of requests."<a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/cybersecurity/governments-spying-apple-google-users-through-push-notifications-us-senator-2023-12-06/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.reuters.com/technology/cybersecurity/governments-spying-apple-google-users-through-push-notifications-us-senator-2023-12-06/</a><a href="https://mapstodon.space/tags/DeGoogle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DeGoogle</a> <a href="https://mapstodon.space/tags/DeApple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DeApple</a> <a href="https://mapstodon.space/tags/LinuxMint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LinuxMint</a> <a href="https://mapstodon.space/tags/GrapheneOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GrapheneOS</a>

Andrew WedlakeApple's often overlooked and sneaky way to obsolete Macs or iOS devices is to simply link Safari to the OS install. Eventually, a device won't be allowed to update, and that will lock the device to a version of Safari.True, Macs can install alternate browsers for "a time", but not with iOS, since all browsers share the same webkit engine.I installed Linux Mint onto an old 2013 Mac Pro, and it still runs the latest version of Firefox, Brave, or Chrome.<a href="https://mapstodon.space/tags/DeApple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DeApple</a> <a href="https://mapstodon.space/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a> <a href="https://mapstodon.space/tags/LinuxMint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LinuxMint</a>
