PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google
(www.youtube.com)
Who?
Did he back away from right wing stupidity?
Er. 'I am done with Google'. Watch the video on YouTube...
“I’m done with capitalism” he writes on a phone paid for with 😧 MONEY 👻
and trying to get on the grift train of hating google. seems like hes some what desperate to comeback to yt, trying to recapture old glory days, of course all that sweet money comes with it.
I mean where else is he going to reach the most YouTube/Google users?
For Pewdiepie this makes a lot of sense, he was literally the top youtuber. But uploading also somewhere else (no exclusivity required) needs to become mainstream yesterday. We have technical colleges far from the US posting educational video content for a website embed on youtube only, it's madness 😅
Exactly!
I think it's ironic that the alternatives to Android (graphene, calyx) only fully work on Google phones.
That isn't really true especially with Calyx OS
Thise are just different flavors. I need a pixel 8 pro xl equivalent device that runs linux natively. All thw postmarket phones are ancientx
Ditch Google
Step 1: Send them money
Used phones: exist
Users who constantly repost this same comment: "doesn't look like anything to me."
Used pixel actually limit a lot the choice. I've not dived into de-googled phone yet but from what I understood postmarketOS seems like the used/old phone OS
Writing this from a degoogled Pixel 4a bought second hand for 80 bucks a couple years ago. Great camera, enough storage, fingerprint sensor, headphone jack, fits in hand and pocket. This is near prefect, new phones are scam.
Where did you get it?
Same reason it continually sucks to get a working Linux build on an apple laptop or desktop.
As bad as Google is, they're lightyears ahead of Apple in terms of protecting their products in a walled garden.
LineageOS works on a bunch of non google phones

I love this new arc of pewds, unimaginably based. I'm actually interested in watching his videos now after a looong time. The last three tech related ones were great.
Three R’s to deGoogling: Reduce, replace, remove.
I would say start by changing your browser and search engine (lots of options out there today), and then set up your own domain for email hosting so you can try different providers.
There isn’t another YouTube with all that content out there, so that one is tough, but you don’t have to 100% de google, 50% is still good. 15% is still good.
Your own domain for email hosting is a massive pain in the ass. Have you not run into a million problems with other hosting providers refusing you for possibly spam?
Didn’t try to host a domain myself yet, but having it set up with Proton has given me zero problems thus far.
Despite the lack of content we should mention peertube any time possible to increase knowledge of it, if nothing else
Your own domain, but you're safer not hosting your own email servers in general. Just wanted to be clear for anyone reading this. If your mail server is down you don't get mail 🫠
I ended up using a service that isn't Google for that with my own domain
And soft lock yourself… log in to the DNS portal you need 2FA from your email… while your email is having DNS issues lol
