Bryan (he/him) 🇺🇸 🏳️‍🌈<p>I finally did it! After several months of navigating the challenges of deGoogling, I just deleted my Google account after 15+ years. I was deeply invested in the Google ecosystem, and it has not been easy. However, the journey has been worth it.</p><p>I've replaced everything I used from Google with FOSS options, and I'm already noticing the benefits, like increased privacy and control over my data. One of the biggest challenges was finding reliable alternatives, but I’ve discovered some fantastic tools along the way.</p><p>Have any of you made a similar switch? I’d love to hear your experiences or any recommendations you might have!</p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/deGoogle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>deGoogle</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>security</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/digital" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>digital</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/intentionalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>intentionalism</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/antibigtech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>antibigtech</span></a></p>
Pablo Majster<p>In the beginning, there was nothing.</p><p>Just a few lines of code. A small project born from boring afternoons. A hobby :blobcoffee:</p><p>No money. No sponsors. No plan for a revolution ❌:yellow_money:</p><p>Just one person. And one question: Can I build something of my own?</p><p>34 years later - that "nothing" still runs. Not as a product. Not as a service. But as a weapon 🏹</p><p>In a world where technology is ruled by empires :empire:, where every click, every glance, every word is turned into profit. In a world where people stopped being users - because they became products, slaves to algorithms, tools for ad revenue - Linux is still a place of resistance :rebel:</p><p>It wasn't meant to save the world. And yet... it does.</p><p>It wasn't meant to be political. And today, it's the purest kind of politics.</p><p>It wasn't supposed to be necessary. And today, it's essential.</p><p>For those who refuse digital submission. For those who want tech that doesn't sell their soul. For those who believe privacy, security, and freedom shouldn't be a luxury 🗽🔐</p><p>For me.</p><p>Because I know how easy it is to get lost. How easy it is to believe there's no alternative. That this is just how it has to be.</p><p>That's why I choose differently 💪</p><p>Not for looks. Not for trends. But for control. For awareness. For dignity.</p><p>It's not about Linux lacking a pretty GUI. It's not about not running popular apps. That's not the point - all of that can be figured out. The point is that I choose what runs on my system. Not someone who's never met me, but knows every move I make :blobeyes:</p><p>34 years later - this isn't a hobby. This is a fortress. A frontline. An echo of the question from years ago, which today sounds like a call:</p><p>Can we build something of our own? :linux:</p><p>📊 What distro do you use? I'm not asking out of curiosity. I'm asking with hope - that I'm not alone.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>windows</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/34yearsoflinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>34yearsoflinux</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/freedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>freedom</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>security</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>opensource</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>foss</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/freesoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>freesoftware</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/digitalresistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>digitalresistance</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/antibigtech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>antibigtech</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/thisiswar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>thisiswar</span></a></p>
