Every time I try to get out of google they (my colleagues) pull me back in. They share documents in google docs and google drive. I have no choice but to keep my google account.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I planned a google ad campaign with a 200 TOTAL budget. A google representative helped me setting up the account, after 4 days she calls me back and said that my ad is doing very well, And it’s already holding at 800$. Till now google didn’t give me back my money with claiming that I don’t have prof. They are not willing to listen to there own phone systems recording’s because they know that I’m right. So basically W…
How's the legality of recording a call if the other party does that as well?
That is, you can't record a call between two other people but you can always record a call that yourself are participating in.
I can't find Apple maps in the play store. Is there another alternative?
> Maps → Apple maps If Apple were a different company, it would've made maps available for use on web browsers and non-Apple devices. That could also help in a more rapid improvement of maps as opposed to the mostly-useless state it's been in (except for a few countries and regions in certain countries that Apple likes and works more on). > and still a little YouTube (anonymously in a Firefox container) If a Firefox…
After reading up on it, okay, I get that those upstream forwarding resolvers will be faster due to being geographically distributed and having a huge number of users (== very current cache), but man. Seemed to be defeating half the point.
I'm using the supported Unbound config now, but.. still surprised it's not the default.
Same on the desktop we have MS, Apple.
Yes Linux (variations) are available on both, more so on desktop, but not a real possibility for most consumes.

I never use the DDG results when looking for something. People on here will sometimes say that the results are as good as Google, but it's just not true in my experience. I would switch completely to Startpage, but I value the !bang feature too much. So for general searches, everything is prefaced with !sp. It's just muscle memory now.
Email and search are easy, email is standard so anyone can do the same features more or less. Search has no lock-in so you can just try whatever. Photos doesn't seems to be either, and I don't personally want to invest the time to try them all.
Has anyone compared all the photo alternatives? I need a good place to store my family photos and share with my wife.

When it comes to technology, people prefer one-stop shopping. Google's email, mapping, mobile OS, search, calendars, video, photos are all free and best-of-class or at least good enough to be satisfactory to 80% of the people, who think they're getting a bargain even as they put more and more of their personal information in Google's hands. It seems as though there's no way to break this voluntary-monopoly. Waze came…
I wouldn't be surprised to see Apple keep nibbling at Google's software business as it transitions more fully to an added-value services model. Little moves like Apple Music on android, Apple TV+ on Android-based TVs... One could see a similar play occurring with fitness, books, and maybe even maps in the services-centric Apple future.
An extra degoogling Google Keep -> Joplin ( https://joplinapp.org/ ) I tried a lot of note taking apps and liked this one for its simplicity (just markdown) and cross platform support. Then just store sync it all either via boxcryptor or nextcloud.
Thanks for the suggestion, I have been looking for a good note-taking app forever, this looks interesting!
