    OK, then let’s check my idiocy.

    • Web-browser? I’m using Firefox since the beginning of this year.

    • Email? I’ve an account on ProtonMail for serious stuff, and Gmail for garbage, less serious stuff and spam collector.

    • Cloud storage? Well, unless anyone can gift me a Raspberry Pi, a hub and an ELI5 Nextcloud manual for dummies, I have to keep using Google Drive.

    • Videos? That depends. I’m watching videos on Youtube, but I’m uploading my own content on Peertube.

    • Phone? I need another ELI5 custom rom manual for dummies, and it has to be specific for my device. Otherwise, I’ll keep using Android, but with most minimum usage of Google apps.

    I think that’s all.

      Can’t fix everything, but Google drive is easily replaced by proton drive. Google notes/keep or any kind of note taking is easily replaced (and improved) by Obsidian, and on android you can install f-droid as an alternative store.

      Downside is that these thinks cost money. But everything has a cost, and at least here the cost is clear, and upfront.
