He switched to linux a while back. Now he's trying to switch as much of the rest of his digital life to FOSS/non-profit stuff. He advocates for duckduckgo, firefox, paid email, graphene os, selfhosted vaultwarden, nextcloud, anything but google maps, kodi, etc.

anything but google maps, kodi, etc.

You had me unti kodi was lumped in with google maps?

[–] Drekaridill@feddit.is 32 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don't think they're including Kodi with Google maps, I think they're just continuing with the list.

[–] bastion@feddit.nl -2 points 11 months ago

yeah. poorly worded.

[–] Zeoic@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

"anything but google maps" is its own list item, not starting a new list. That list just doesn't have a googlemaps alternative in mind so they used that.

[–] bastion@feddit.nl 3 points 11 months ago

yeah, that was ambiguously worded.

You need to work on that reading comprehension.

Nah - the english language is just full of ambiguities that people tend to understand through context or intonations from speaking that are lost in text

But not Youtube. Which is Google.

Curious.

[–] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I mean...not that curious. It's his entire livelihood at the moment.

[–] lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So it's "You get off Google but not me! And keep subsidizing me!"?

It's about 15% more understandable, but still, the same crap I expect by default from that kind of person.

Letting perfection be the enemy of the good is why we can't have nice things.
