First I swapped out Google Search for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/duckduckgo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>duckduckgo</span></a>. Then I began using open source apps to replace nearly all Android apps &amp; tried to lock down Android best I could. Ditched gmail for Tuta. I finally decided to go all out and replaced Android OG with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/grapheneos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>grapheneos</span></a>. This completes my transition from Google in its entirety and I couldn't be happier. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/degoogle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>degoogle</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a></p>
PaulaToThePeople 😷<p>I just removed <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/DuckDuckGo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DuckDuckGo</span></a> as my default search engine and from my search engines in general, because they keep promoting their AI bullshit and because the ddg seaches for "ban ai", "ai ban" and the same in German yields 0 results - while when removing the quotes you get a lot of AI propaganda.</p><p>I now use <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@Mojeek" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>Mojeek</span></a></span> and hope I won't be disappointed (PS: I already am. Mojeek is also AI bs.).</p><p>On mobile I used the ddg app as my browser the past months and since I don't have it in me to do the research for the least suckiest mobile browser again I'll see how long I'll make it without a browser.</p><p>Lineage OS straight up freezed for half a minute because I dared to deinstall the default browser app.</p><p>Maybe I'll soon switch to a feature phone anyway. My dad is one of my most important contacts on Signal and his old iPhone refuses to update Signal, so he'll be out soon.</p><p>Also I don't want to depend on toxic F-Droid anymore.</p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/BanAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BanAI</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/AIBan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AIBan</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>enshittification</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/DigitalDetox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalDetox</span></a></p>
