A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

i don't want to watch pewdiepie, can someone explain what's his beef here

[–] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 84 points 6 days ago (2 children)

He switched to linux a while back. Now he's trying to switch as much of the rest of his digital life to FOSS/non-profit stuff. He advocates for duckduckgo, firefox, paid email, graphene os, selfhosted vaultwarden, nextcloud, anything but google maps, kodi, etc.

[–] girthero@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (4 children)

anything but google maps, kodi, etc.

You had me unti kodi was lumped in with google maps?

[–] Drekaridill@feddit.is 32 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I don't think they're including Kodi with Google maps, I think they're just continuing with the list.

[–] bastion@feddit.nl -3 points 6 days ago

yeah. poorly worded.

[–] Zeoic@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

"anything but google maps" is its own list item, not starting a new list. That list just doesn't have a googlemaps alternative in mind so they used that.

[–] bastion@feddit.nl 3 points 6 days ago

yeah, that was ambiguously worded.

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com -3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You need to work on that reading comprehension.

[–] wetbeardhairs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 6 days ago

Nah - the english language is just full of ambiguities that people tend to understand through context or intonations from speaking that are lost in text

[–] lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org -1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

But not Youtube. Which is Google.

Curious.

[–] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I mean...not that curious. It's his entire livelihood at the moment.

[–] lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

So it's "You get off Google but not me! And keep subsidizing me!"?

It's about 15% more understandable, but still, the same crap I expect by default from that kind of person.

Letting perfection be the enemy of the good is why we can't have nice things.

Just throwing this out there, you can open the video and expand the description and there is a button you can click on to view the transcript of the video and then you can just copy that out into a text editor or read it right there

Just downloaded it and skimmed by frames... Seems to be a list of reasons to degoogle. Mentions privacy, security, and how Google is extending fingers into everyone's privacy by browser, password manager, wallet, phone, etc.

Guy's an ass, but if this gets people on board with degoogling then good for him.

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Calling this guy an ass shows that you have no idea who he is. You're probably the type of person who thinks they're well informed but exclusively get their info from echo chambers like Lemmy.

“The enemy of my enemy is my friend”

[–] brachiosaurus@mander.xyz 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

How are you going to do that advertising using one of their products? He has 100M followers and he's a multi millionare, he should close his youtube account and move in another platform

[–] november@lemmy.vg 2 points 5 days ago

Good point. People should only advocate for dgoogling on platforms full of people who have already degoogled. It's stupid to try and reach people still using Youtube.
