For drive I'm going with Filen, they have very affordable lifetime plans that you can use with subscription if needed. It also works as a Google photos replacement but I'm looking for a better replacement for that (immitch probably). I'm also planning to use multiple services to use free tiers across them. No need to put everything on the same basket.

For pass I use 1password still, couldn't find an alternative that I liked.

I don't disagree with that but what about the people that are not connected to information like we are? What about the average Joe that is asked for an Instagram account so that he can get the contact of a person promising a job? (Just a random example).

Yes, social media is the problem. But there are two social media spheres. The one where we are, with Lemmy and Mastodon, is not the problem. The problem is the social media that exists in the capitalist world. What happened with the internet is that we invented a lot of services that should be a human right but they are controlled by corporations. Everyone should have access to a zero knowledge email, everyone should have access to a social media platform that is not controlled by anyone (it's a public space).

Exactly, that video made it all very simple and helped convincing me

Why? I don't know much about these services but I bought a domain on OVH. No issues so far but would like to know if I might get some in the future...

Switched to Tuta and bought a domain. It's been great so far. I can create an email alias with this domain for each service I use. Also have a proton free account but not sure yet what I will use it for (it was for testing before). I also created a disroot account since I really like what they are doing.

my issue is not the development, I think in terms of features it has mostly what I want. The issue is their CEO. But then again, it is controlled by a foundation ... so yeah... just some blurry waters there

The day I was about to go for proton was the same day the news about the CEO comments came out... It's that strange balance... It has a lot of the features I want to replace from Gmail but... Now I'm not sure if it would be much better than Google if the government decided they wanted to look at my emails. That said it's still better for my money to go to a EU company.

Thank you 🙏 didn't understand the language but I did understand the overall moment 😄

Your journey and motivation is looking a lot like mine. I deleted my twitter account, frozen my meta accounts and canceled most of the streaming subscriptions. Currently looking into the email problem of leaving Gmail behind... Probably it will be tuta + a NAS for file storage to replace gdrive. I used Arc for the browser, I really love it's UX so I have been trying to move to Zen Browser, however they have issues with 1password (not sure if I'll move from this service) and it doesn't sync like Arc does (for now).

I'm curious I still don't really understand element/matrix.... Does it communicate with the other messaging services? I'm trying to push more people around me to use Signal (but yeah... It's the same old story of no one using it so people to use it)

Did you went for freeNAS for the Google photos replacement? Do you have a way to auto sync your photos on the phone to your photos in your server?

Good luck 🫡

This guy is awesome, but being like this should be the norm and nothing special. Unfortunately it isn't the norm.

Can you link to that talk show?

That would make sense if they didn't also change in Europe...
