That's what I'm doing..
Switch away from Google Chrome to [redacted].
Switch away from Google Search to [redacted].
Get a free [redacted] account and start moving accounts.
Use [redacted] instead of Google Maps, discover [redacted] is now owned by Google, buy a fucking atlas. Fuck this timeline.
Next step/shit to figure out:
Move my contacts off of Google.
The Last Thing I'll Do: Migrate Photos to a self-hosted solution.
Edit: Why is this downvoted? Did you guys follow me from reddit lol
Edit 2: Removed any mention of software that may have offended people.
Try using CoMaps or Organic Maps. I prefer Co Maps over Organic Maps but each their own.
Ente Photos is a pretty good Google Photos replacement if you don't want expend the effort for a full self-hosted solution yet
Don't use Brave.
Also use CoMaps with RHVoice.
I can recommend HereWeGo as an alternative to Maps. I switched two years ago and I am quite happy with it ever since.
Installed. But, long term, how do they plan to pay their bills?
Also, any advice for a text-to-speech engine on Graphene? Here We Go won't talk to me without one.
SherpaTTS is what I use for text to speech on GrapheneOS. Works fine with herewego.
