@Tutanota We use MS at work so that one will take some time, even though I pester IT for Linux at every opportunity 😂 as for the other two, I haven't deleted my accounts but they are, at this point, entirely dormant & will most likely be dying for good this year & all Google products have been replaced 👍
Degoogle: almost, next phone will be Fairphone with /e/os
Demeta: quitted whatsapp years ago, check
Demicrosoft: on Linux now, only have to leave their authenticator. Left hotmail and use Tuta for many years.
Already done ✅
@Tutanota All Gone, including Apple, which I used to really respect.
Done. Done. And done.
The only tie I still have to Google is the integrated map on my Hyundai Kona infotainment system, and I can't disable it or install an alternative.
Anyone know how to root an infotainment system?
@IT_SME Well done! Hmh, tech in cars is a difficult one..
@Tutanota Only DeBezos left for me.
And this is a tough one.
@Tutanota Linux: De-M$ for 20+ years. Couldn't afford to upgrade hardware with every OS update. Most of my computers/laptops are over 10 years old, and many of them were free, from friends.
Am the admin for an organization's FB page, otherwise, I don't use it.
I'm still on Android, but most of the apps I use are from F-droid. I would like to use a phone with an open source OS, but only if it can be run on an under-$250 phone, and on my current carrier.
@Tutanota probably not, but definitely reducing/limiting
@Tutanota I cant and I wont be able to
@Tutanota Does playing Minecraft count as using Microsoft? Else I would have already no Google, no Meta and no Microsoft since even years
@Tutanota Working on #1, #2 Whatsapp is unavoidable in Germany 
>:( and #3 almost complete :-)
@Tutanota I'm on my way. Only youtube and GitHub remains
@Tutanota For music production, de-microsoft ist unfortunately still rather difficult. Most commercial providers of high quality virtual instruments are still not interested in supporting formats that work in Linux.
