Ian Brown 👨🏻‍💻<p>I am getting to the point where I am simply using <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/macOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>macOS</span></a>, signed into my <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/iCloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iCloud</span></a> account, to make my 2011 <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/MacBook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MacBook</span></a> <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Air" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Air</span></a> a second screen for my <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/MacMini" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MacMini</span></a>.</p><p>Is there any <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> code available yet to support that? If <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Apple</span></a> is blocking it, the <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>EUCommission</span></a></span> has just made it a legal requirement (under the <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/DMA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DMA</span></a>) they enable it this year!</p>
Ian Brown 👨🏻‍💻<p>I now have an extremely minimal <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Dock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dock</span></a> 😂 and have switched off all <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/iCloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iCloud</span></a> services. </p><p>I am still logged in to my <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/AppleAccount" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AppleAccount</span></a>, but cannot extend the screen to my <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/MacMini" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MacMini</span></a>, even though everything looks like that should work. Any ideas? 🙈</p>
Ian Brown 👨🏻‍💻<p>OK, I've just turned off almost all of the <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/iCloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iCloud</span></a> services on my creaking 2011 <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/MacBook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MacBook</span></a> <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Air" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Air</span></a>. Since I already exported my <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/KeyChain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KeyChain</span></a> credentials to <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Brave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Brave</span></a>, I can even turn off passwords. Then I can turn off iCloud completely. I imagine that will speed up the Air!</p>
Ian Brown 👨🏻‍💻<p>BTW, the <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/iCloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iCloud</span></a> <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Password" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Password</span></a> plugin works more smoothly in <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Brave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Brave</span></a> than the latest version of the functionality in <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Safari" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Safari</span></a> 😂</p>
Ian Brown 👨🏻‍💻<p>Step 2: change default browser to Brave and install the <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/iCloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iCloud</span></a> <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Passwords" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Passwords</span></a> Chrome extension, so I can (for now) access all my passwords and verification codes from iCloud. Just used that to authorise Mastodon macOS/iPadOS app to run on my refurbished Mac Mini M2, and write this post!</p>

Devin Prater :blind:<p>For those moving from iOS to Android, you can go to iCloud.com, and forward iCloud emails to your Gmail or whatever if you can't be bothered to sign into your iCloud email with Aquamail or Fairmail and such. That's what I did at least cause I don't need to reply to just about anything I get on my iCloud anyway.</p><p><a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>apple</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/icloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>icloud</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>android</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/email" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>email</span></a></p>

Du bist jetzt schon ein gutes Stück unabhängiger! Wenn du möchtest, kannst du nun schon deine Apple ID ändern: ➡️ siehe Link unten. Fertig! 👏 <br><a href="https://ieji.de/tags/unplugtrump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unplugtrump</span></a> <a href="https://ieji.de/tags/stepbystep" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stepbystep</span></a> <br>Wird fortgesetzt! </p><p><a href="https://support.apple.com/de-de/109353" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">support.apple.com/de-de/109353</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
AndyGER :verified_coffee:<p><a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/icloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>icloud</span></a> nutze ich für Fotos, da diese Funktion ja tief im System von <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/macos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>macos</span></a> und <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/ios" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ios</span></a> verwurzelt ist und ja auch reibungslos funktioniert. Es gibt aber auch dafür europäische Alternativen. Je nach Nutzung und Anspruch kann das aber teurer werden. Möchte man seine Fotos online präsentieren, ist <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/flickr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>flickr</span></a> nicht schlecht. Der Dienst ist für 1.000 Fotos gratis.</p><p>Was wirklich fehlt, sind ernsthafte Alternativen zu <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/youtube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>youtube</span></a> oder generell eine europäische Videoplattform. (2/3)</p>
Alexander Wilms 🇺🇦<p>Ich versuche die Funktionen der iOS Geräte zu kategorisieren, aus Nutzersicht. iPhone kommt ja von Telefon, und hat sein Dasein der <a href="https://ieji.de/tags/Kommunikation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kommunikation</span></a> zu verdanken. Das ist die wichtigste Kategorie, sie umfasst telefonieren - wo ein Umstieg („de-apple“ oder <a href="https://ieji.de/tags/unplugtrump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unplugtrump</span></a>) nicht komplex sein dürfte. Dann kommen <a href="https://ieji.de/tags/iMessage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iMessage</span></a> (abgeschaltet, aber da tut‘s schon weh) und <a href="https://ieji.de/tags/FaceTime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FaceTime</span></a> (naja) und… <a href="https://ieji.de/tags/Email" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Email</span></a> (<a href="https://ieji.de/tags/iCloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iCloud</span></a> alias Apple ID). Anderes ist ursprünglich nicht dem originären Zweck des Geräts zugedacht…</p>
Alexander Wilms 🇺🇦<p><a href="https://ieji.de/tags/unplugtrump15" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unplugtrump15</span></a> - Ausgangslage: <br>Technikaffin - ja <br>Nerd - nein<br><a href="https://ieji.de/tags/iCloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iCloud</span></a> - rund 10€ / Monat für 2 Terrabyte, von denen weniger als die Hälfte benötigt wird<br>Familie - eingerichtet mit Frau, K1, K2, K3 und „Oma“, alle nutzen „meine“ iCloud und (immer seltener) meine Expertise<br><a href="https://ieji.de/tags/AppleMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AppleMusic</span></a> - dito, wird geteilt<br>Sippe - meine beiden Geschwisterfamilien mit weiteren 4 Nichten und Neffen sowie die Schwiegertiger sind betroffen (bspw geteilte Alben, „Support“).<br>Also: <a href="https://ieji.de/tags/noapple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>noapple</span></a> = sozial komplexer Kontext.</p>
Alexander Wilms 🇺🇦<p>…die erste Frage ist, welche Aufgaben und Probleme stellen sich überhaupt, wenn ich auf die Dienste von <a href="https://ieji.de/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Apple</span></a>, <a href="https://ieji.de/tags/iOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iOS</span></a>, <a href="https://ieji.de/tags/iCloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iCloud</span></a> und <a href="https://ieji.de/tags/Macbook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Macbook</span></a> / <a href="https://ieji.de/tags/MacOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MacOS</span></a> einmal verzichten werde?<br>Mal sehen was mir selbst dazu eingefallen ist, worüber ich bereits grüble, und was euch dazu noch einfällt. Bin schon gespannt. Mal sehen wo es dann echt weh tun wird. Und wo es kompliziert wird.</p>
