Removing Google from my life

So with the latest developments in Google land, I'm finally starting to de-Google my life.

>inb4 hurr choosing your technology based on identity politics

Sorry but I just can't support this sort of liberal fanaticism.

Below is a list of possible alternatives I could think of thus far, but one particular point proving difficult is the browser. What with both Google and Mozilla being eaten away by the "diversity" plague, what is left?

>Search: Startpage, DuckDuckGo
>Email: Airmail.cc courtesy of cock.li, and just interface it with Thunderbird or Mutt; alternatively pay and get Protonmail
>Browser: I'm lost here
>Maps: Open Street Map is quite good I hear, sometimes even more detailed than Google Maps
>Cloud storage: Roll my own with OwnCloud. Shouldn't be hard... Just need to read some guides and docs
>Contacts: Migrate to some form of CalDAV and host it with OwnCloud?
>Calendeering: the same.

>Sorry but I just can't support this sort of liberal fanaticism.
are you literally shaking?

No google news replacement?

I guess I'll just use Sup Forums and /new/ for news aggregation.

I guess I could compile a list of tech news websites to pay attention to, I just worry if something interesting doesn't get covered by the main ones and I miss it

Sup Forums and /tech/ usually covers most things anyway. On top of that I have Slashdot and Hacker News.

>caring about the people behind the product instead of the product itself
You're no different than the idiot liberals who drink muh fair trade coffee and eat muh organic chicken.

>the idiot liberals who drink muh fair trade coffee and eat muh organic chicken.
I'm not a liberal but I do eat organic chicken as a social class signifying act.

What are you doing for a phone OS?

oh yeah I'm sure google is pissing their pants right now knowing they're gonna lose some right wing sperg

Do you also wipe your ass with $100 bills?

>Search
DDG.
>Email
Protonmail.
>Browser
Waterfox or Brave.
>Maps
Open Street Map.
>Cloud storage
OwnCloud or Syncthing
>Contacts
Dunno.
>Calendar
Again, dunno.

I don't care about what Google thinks.
I'm just doing this out of my own conscience.
Not everything is about "fighting da man", you know.

>Sorry but I just can't support this sort of liberal fanaticism.
Just use adblock, that's the way they make 90% of their profit anyway.

Canuck here, if you want to un-google your phone, BlackBerry OS exists and can run most Android apps.. I say "Most" as BBOS security functions likes to K.O. Android apps that try to access stuff that the app doesn't have permission for.
Their maps is good too.

>Search: Startpage
>Email: Startmail
>Browser: SeaMonkey
>Maps: physical USGS maps, or World Atlas if you're a skrub
>Cloud Storage: do not bother
>Contacts: write them down
>Calendar: write it down

That's intentionally wasteful and show-offy, which is a telling sign of a lower-middle class person.
Which is why I don't do that.

Just like eating """organic""" chicken

>Browser
Have you considered Tor? SeaMonkey's good too, I used that a lot back in 09

>Browser
Vivaldi is pretty solid.

Contrary to wiping your shit sphincter with paper money, eating organic chicken isn't wasteful.
Plus you're supposed to bemoan the price regardless of your financial situation, "but I eat organic anyway because it just tastes better, and you know how much I like me some good chicken, darling".

Bloated garbage.

You're getting just as triggered as the left.

...

On the contrary, getting "triggered" means throwing a hissy fit and complain.

And just complain.

What I'm trying to do and to actually act.

seamonkey and brave. seamonkey would in fact be the perfect browser if it had Old Opera's speed

Doesn't seamonkey require pulseaudio?

use RSS and classify them

i don't know, i use it on winshit.

as for email providers: while free email providers have been monpolized out of existence in the US and UK, in other parts of the world there's hundreds of them. i use gmx.de and centrum.cz with an IMAP client. avoid the protonmail meme.

>I was ok with everything else Google did
>But now I want Google out of my life
You're the worst.

wiby.me/

Good search engine for websites that aren't bloated to shit. These kinds of websites are an increasingly rare thing..

>Removing Google from my life
Same and for the same reasons. Thing is all I use is Chromium. Still going to switch to Firefox even though they are pretty SJW themselves. Oh well.

does that just operate on page size?

For browser, just use ungoogled-chromium, the goodness of normal chrome/chromium without the Google shit

mystery

Tech Bros seem a bit triggered.

You'll come crawling back.

Check this out.

Enjoy your flat earth theory.

>alt righters will now taint all the anti-googlers who were that not because of id politiks but because of everything else
gross

>5 versions behind Stable Chrome on Windows
Pass.

what was google supposed to do? keep your fucking politics out of work, no one gives a shit and it will just get you in trouble

>browser
Compile your own Firefox or use Palememe
>cloud storage
Home NAS
>news
Don't even bother

kek

Imagine rearranging your life because some emailed their co-workers some Sup Forums shit lmao

But google isn't keeping politics out of work, just one side of it.

i'll continue using google until their politics actually start inconveniencing me

Whats your age, gender, and geographical location?

kek he prolly does lurk on Sup Forums

google was supposed to keep politics out

>Browser
Qutebrowser
there.

I'm getting really fucking tired with politics being used in every day things. It was never this bad, but maybe it was and I was just a dumb child.

It's the rise of pseudointellectuals who think they are doing good for the world.

and from where they come?

Gen Y growing up thinking they and their opinions are relevant.
Applies to any other generation, though, just back then you couldn't voice your opiniom this easily.

Why don't people save their Sup Forums shit for instances where there are actual problems going on. It's one thing to publish retarded "manifestos" about crime stats and race or something but why bother shitting on Google's policies internally when the company isn't doing poorly?

Wait until a stock price plummet or something before saying 1/3rd of your co-workers are inferior.

>tfw still have to use YouTube
>I could use adblock, but I want to support the guys I like by watching their ads

Google absolutely does not keep politics out of work nor pretend to. It's completely obvious to everyone involved including Google they lean to the liberal side of the spectrum

That's not what this was about. It got hairy when he started referencing politically incorrect journal publications

It's not Sup Forums shit at all, nothing he said was anything but moderate and evenhanded.

>publish retarded "manifestos"
It's incredible how an internally circulated memo got changed into a "published manifesto of Nazi sexist bigotry" within hours.

What's really funny is to watch 4channers, most of whom can sit through an entire gore thread on Sup Forums without flinching, get genuinely offended when a corporate entity or person does something they don't morally approve of. Google didn't kill a cat or shovel a dog, it didn't spidermanpost in the loli thread, no, the company made a decision to remove an employee after they wrote something about the business that doesn't jive with it's own culture. This has nothing to do with anything on this website, it has nothing to do with anyone but Google, and yet in this thread, real people are mad for what might be the single most insipid and pointless reason to get mad in the history of baseless, anonymous internet hatred.

Anyone on this website who defines their life and the lives of others by their political views is an immature manchild who doesn't know what the real world is like. They think they do, but they're falling into the very trap they're trying to warn the rest of us about. Pretty much all media is scripted and designed to make you think what you are watching is the truth. If you get your opinions from infowars or other mainstream right wing media you are simply rattling the bars on the other side of the cage from the idiot reading huff post.

Here's hoping North Korea nukes Sup Forums.

i never go to Sup Forums but this is another example of a powerful media/information company being far left political activists. As someone who isn't far left I dislike google.

gb2reddit, cuck.

Sup Forums has always been a free speech safe space

It's becoming increasingly easier for me to get rid of YouTube with how shit their interface is now.

>spherecucks still exist.

Lurk more.

>Browser
wait for firefox 57

>Maps
HERE WeGo

>implying i don't hate the person shovelling the dog
>implying Sup Forums hasnt gone after and doxxed a number of people for abusing animals

BBOS is dead, use Sailfish OS instead or just use lineage without the GApps installed - F-Droid exists

>People who don't care about pictures on the internet actually care about the political power of one of the most personally invasive and powerful monopolies in the world.

People on here have a weird value system.

Very important to do this, you're not alone OP.

Do your own experiments.
Buy one organic and one of the cheap options.
Take it home.
Cook both.
See, feel and taste them to see if there is a difference.
Where I live, non organic chicken is about 15% cheaper (per pound, organic is usually sold in smaller packages, price per package is pretty much the same)
The non organic chicken is pumped with water to inflate the weight of the item and when you cook it, the water leaves the chicken, resulting in smaller pieces and a more dry meat.

Just use palemoon. Based on Firefox, is good, doesn't support SJWs.

Spidr.today is great

Fucking great, thanks

>oh yeah

So you use Linux then?
Microsoft has been enacting social and legislative change in the US through seemingly idiotic/evil business decisions since the '90s. If you don't like what Google is doing, then you shouldn't care for what Microsoft has done. If it hadn't been for the antitrust suits and all the other legal battles that company has had, they would legally own your computer the instant you put Windows on it. Now all they can really do is watch what you masturbate to and call the feds.

Eat shit and die. Been here since '04.
I have seen things that would make your head spin.
I am the reason Sup Forums is(was?) banned from Otakon.
I have never, and will never post on Reddit for as long as I live.
Sup Forums is cancer and anyone who takes that shit seriously is incredibly deluded. You think you're woke but you're still in dreamland.
The truth is you are being tricked by forces beyond your control. They want you to be violent, outspoken bigots so you can be removed more easily. Meanwhile, everyone else here is laughing at you for trying so hard.

Shut up fag.

>Meanwhile, everyone else here is laughing at you
Well at least you've found a way to feel superior on the Internet.

I use chrome and youtube.

Going back to firefox and gonna go to dailymotion and vimeo more.

i agree with you OP fuck google!

It's your unmarked grave in a FEMA bodybag, Sup Forumsack.
You are being manipulated. Everyone who posts on Sup Forums is the victim of government psyops to some degree.

The racism of Sup Forums is intentionally overblown to the point it is humorous. If you are here because you are an actual bigot thinking you are among friends, you are very mistaken, and you are being used as entertainment for the rest of the website.

You're the mistaken one if you think we're still at the sincerely ironic stage of racism.
We've gone past that for quite a while now.

epic

All jokes stop being funny if you say them enough times. Now it's just nonsense from ignorant fuckwits and manipulated graphs, which is funny on another level entirely.
People don't need to go to a random board to spam nigger nigger nigger for a reaction, you fucking idiots come to us with carefully preened "information" and illformed "facts".

>I know all except for a browser
Firefox, Konqueror, Netrunner

shitty bait, hidden "best browser"-thread

Stop larping newfag

So what do we do for a phone if we want to de-google, I mean the other options are apple or what..?

I'm stuck with a HTC One for the next year.

I don't blame google. I really don't. They are just maximizing profit. I blame the media outlets who horribly and intentionally misrepresented the memo. And our retarded public who passes judgement without reading the actual source material even though it is a google search away and only 10 pages. Honestly makes me sick.

flash another rom without gapps

keep running from the truth
it's not like there's anywhere you can hide

S E E T H I N G

Use Brave as a browser. It was made by a guy fired from his own company (Mozilla) for his political beliefs.

Blackberry is terrible when it comes to security. Privacy is even worse

I don't see what truth I'm ignoring, free speech is gud and should be defended.

Also women and niggers are inherently genetically inferior to men and whites respectively.

I'm not arguing against that necessarily. I think that racism is inherent in the human social structure. You cannot recognize that all the peoples of this Earth have different, distinct traits and culture without inherently being racist. But the "free speech" you think you are engaging in can, will, and probably currently is being used against you and the rest of society to make all the little people behave. Your words will be spun, your ideas corrupted, and the whole mess will be used to prove that there is "evil" in our society and it comes from this website.

Why else would an American-hosted website that trades in pirated international media and gray-area pornography still exist if it were not a giant honeypot to gather all the "undesirables" and ruin their lives? We know Hiroshimoot sells data. We know there are feds trolling any board illegal content may be posted. Your free speech is nothing of the sort.

>Sorry but I just can't support this sort of liberal fanaticism.

my sides are in orbit

Also, we know that there is software on this website that analyzes posting styles and links them to real identities. We also know quite well that the former owner of Sup Forums now works for Google.

You are being watched, analyzed and manipulated. The shit on Sup Forums is taken to an extreme for a malicious purpose. Wake the fuck up. You can't get off this wild ride but you can at least be aware of what's going on around you.

Giving people a platform on which to anonymously discuss heretical ideas in a devious plot to shut down those very ideas?

Precisely.
And because everyone's Anonymous, it's very easy to spin the words of a few and make them represent the entire goddamn website, just like regular posters do when they make idiotic bait threads like "i heard Sup Forums doesn't like x".

I have a Sup Forums shirt I got at the Otakon panel in '06. It's totally innocuous, has the logo on the front breast and a Anonymous board timestamp with the date of the panel on the back. It was a gift from a dear friend and I'm very proud of it.

When I wear it, recently, I have been asked in public if I am a white supremacist. I have been refused service at my college because an advisor apparently took offense to me wearing it. I cannot publicly represent the website I have called home for more than a decade because you cock suckers have played this infernal game of stupidity and ignorance.
