’Denmark Switches.’ A national campaign to collectively move off Big Tech. March 20th is Big Switch Day. I’ve named my goal now. I’m already almost deMicrosofted, except for my photo archive. I moved to Libre & Tuta mail and have been purging photos as I await the release of Tuta drive. Now I’m committing myself to just get the photos off OneDrive and on to my computer, that I own, in my house, by March 20th. Then I’ll delete Microsoft. Then I’ll boast about it on the Fediverse.

Do this switch fast, because the wealthiest people on the planet are funding efforts to put AI everywhere.
AI is international state surveillance & malign influence campaign generator.
AI is spyware & these billionaires don't give two hoots about anyone's "economic mobility" but their own.

Just as the Daughters of the Confederacy rewrote history to whitewash slavery, AI enables the same "amnesia" about crimes against humanity, like ecocide.

AI medical summaries are disguising anti-health disinformation campaigns & antivaxxer ideology.

@CiaraNi I am thinking of switching the family from Google calender to Tuta calender, as I already use Tuta mail. We use gcal to coordinate our days, so it really has to work. Do you have experience with a shared Tuta Calender?
@Orewoet Sorry, no, I haven't used it as a shared calendar. Maybe someone else here in the Fediverse has - I'd be interested to hear myself.
@gambolputte @CiaraNi @Tutanota indeed, I am thinking of making an account for my wife as well to start with, and start sharing between the two of us. Tuta to Tuta. It's slightly expensive to have two, and maybe later even more accounts, but it is such a relief to f. ex. finally feel safe to build a contact list to name just one thing.
@Orewoet @gambolputte @CiaraNi Shared calendars is only possible if both use Tuta - because of the encryption. You can ask support to enable the family option for you so you can add users.
@Tutanota @gambolputte @CiaraNi
I must admit that I don't really understand the Family option. I guess that the family option gives the possibility to add a family member to a subscription, so there is one "admin" for two (or more) persons.
But it costs the same as two separate subscriptions, so I personally don't really see the point.
It sounds good though, so is there perhaps another difference I am missing?
