"Google's 'free' search comes with the cost of your time wading through ads, your attention sold to advertisers, and results that prioritize revenue over relevance. Kagi flips that model."

My #introduction needs a refresh.

I'm a #PhD student at the University of #Vermont, studying the #Evolution of #Evolvability. I'm into #AI, #ALife, #Biology, and #Philosophy, because I want to understand #life, #adaptation, and #intelligence using my native language of #ComputerScience. I share my musings and #research on my #blog. I love #science generally, and am full of bitchy #AcademicChatter.

I was a #SoftwareEngineer in #SiliconValley for many years, but left in 2021. I'm glad I did, and now I feel a bit betrayed by the #TechIndustry. I've been going back to my #FOSS roots, and gradually #DeGoogle ing my life. I still love to talk about #code #craft, #UX, and healthy #engineering #culture. Recently I've been enjoying #gpu #programming, mostly in #taichilang.

I have a wife and a #cat. I love #nature, #photography, #cooking, and #yoga.

All kinds of people are valid and worthy, but #trans people, folks on the #autism spectrum, and #bipoc get a shout out right now because they need our support.

Look who's on HowToGeek's #deGoogle list 😤

Screenshot with the Tuta Calendar on How to Geek's website:
Keep Your Calendar Private
Your calendar dailies and agendas are sensitive data that you might want to keep private. You can quickly replace Google Calendar with Tuta Calendar. It's open source and cross-platform, so it syncs across devices.

Install it from F-Droid and sign up for a free Tuta mail account. Once that's done, you can import your schedule and agenda into the Tuta calendar. First, export the schedule from your current app in a .ics format and tap the three dots in the Tuta Calendar sidebar. Choose import and select the .ics file, and the app will instantly update with your dailies.

First #deGoogle, then #GoEuropean, now #NoAI

And #Tuta ticks all the boxes. Just saying. 😉

What I’d love to see: An in-depth wide-ranging review of the various “workspace” tools - docs, sheets, calendars - that are options for people who want to de-Google themselves. I know about Proton, Fastmail, etc, but not from people who've daily-driven more than one of them.

Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, while simultaneously removing apps that report the location of ICE officials because Google sees ICE as a vulnerable group. “It is time to choose sides; fascism or morality? Big tech has made their choice.”

Google Has Chosen a Side in Trump's Mass Deportation Effort

I recently installed @e_mydata on an old phone.

And i must say I'm delighted. It feels snappy, installing aid is no problem without authenticating to the play store, everything works.
I still need to wrap around some features like parental control (how can i temporarily disable it e.g. to install apps?) and the multi user feature (how can i install apps for all users, make another user admin?).

Trying all this on an old phone enables me to test everything and prepare the next step to #degoogle

Last remark #eos is a terrible search term 🥴

Looking for ethical and privacy-respecting alternatives to many common services offered by web giants?

@Framasoft offers many links and free services that are free & open source alternatives to services like Lucidchart, Kongregate, Zoom, Facebook, and Google.

Resources are available for both the French-speaking and English-speaking community.
