You waited this long to get rid of Apple?

I don't know if I can give up FB again. I've deleted my account trice before but I've been unable to drive traffic to my yoga classes in any other way with much effectiveness. Even extensive postering lead to far fewer people coming relative to a few FB posts.

Reddit on the other hand has been useless and I've almost entirely given up on it.

GrapheneOS is a good alternative to iOS/Android, although still Android-based

Windows is a hard change. I tried it before without success.

The thing which really stops me from Google Maps alternatives is the lack of reviews. Very useful.

Plus, goddamn I wish they would modernize their UIs.

Back to flip phones? Or what alternative are you guys looking at?

Google and Apple are a bunch of bootlickers imo to the Trump administration.

What are you replacing google maps with? I've been getting more and more annoyed with it for a while.

It keeps wanting me to do U turns on ultra busy roads when I could just make a left turn at a light.

Hell, I'm in the US and this sounds like a great idea. Tired of being tracked and monetized for every single thing I do.

we need an AOSP fork like Forgejo is to Github. Accept good changes, maybe share patches, but keep a fork that ROM devs can build upon.

The day my iPhone breakes is the day I am the grapheneOS user. Switched already the battery so might take another couple of years till the update support ends

I long ago gave up on Twitter, prior to it becoming X. I was briefly on X but closed that account. Facebook I still have an account, but from what I understand it cost the Zuk more to have a barley active account then have a closed account, but it will probably be closed soon. Reddit is something I am trying to get rid of but it keeps sucking me back in, I have however removed myself from all the groups that are not Canadian centred. The only reason why I have a google account is for youtube, I got off of all the other services because of ads and all of that. I moved all of my subscriptions to things to Apple’s hide my email so I would get less junk mail. I also got a pihole setup on my LAN to see less ads so less google ad sense. I was never really a windows user so that is not a problem for me. I was fine with Apple Maps but now if I need a map I use open maps or whatever it is called. I have decided that I will not buy another apple thing, rather get things updated/repaired at shops local to me.

I have gone through my web services and cancelled everything that is not Canadian. I have moved my blog off of square space and onto Hosthero with a .ca address and I use it to create all my emails for things I may signup for. Unlimited emails so that I can signup for unlimited free trials to things, like I did with Apple’s hide my email!

Yes I agree ARM needs to be accepted a little more so Linux computers using it can be used as better (non Apple) desktops. Payment methods need to be developed even more in Canada outside of interact. I will have difficulties moving away from iOS because of FaceTime and messages.
