@cyberlyra @markhurst Nice talk!
I've been at it for many years, but compared to you on a toddler level, but already hitting my head against walls in getting other people realise how bad we should het rid of big tech.
Still a lot to clean, still a lot of legacy as other things in life go first.
Google still there as I still have Android mobiles, locked down as much as possible.
It's annoying that not more apps are build independent from Google, especially banks, and on F-Droid.
The new mobile is e/OS, which compared to the expectations was disappointing.
Jolla marketing didn't reply.
But, busy sorting own things, and still trying to convince other people, which is just horribly difficult and frustrating.
