Happy hacking!
A lot of people are moving away from Big Tech. Many more would like to do so, but they do not know that it is really easy to do so and that there are good options.
You do, given that you are here. Maybe time to help your friends?
Some good options, that I use myself :
OS : Linux.
Browser : Vivaldi.
Mail client : Vivaldi.
Calendar client : Vivaldi.
Mail Service : Proton, FastMail.
Social : Mastodon & Fediverse in general.
Office package : Libre Office.
Video conference : Whereby.
Feel free to suggest more options and share with your friends!

Woke up this morning to discover that, after an update, Microsoft no longer trusts me to edit my own files and folders on my own external hard drive. I was trying to update a portable application and the usual warning popped up that was asking me, was I sure I wanted to paste these files? And I better do it with administrative rights, even though I am the fucking administrator of this Gods damn PC, so I hit continue with administrative right. You do not have permission to edit these files. I am the fucking administrator, you dolts. I am not a casual user, endless screaming. Gods, I wish #Linux was... just better at screen reader accessibility overall, but just... *sigh* I am gonna be one of those seniors that movies love to mock where they know nothing of technology because I'll just stop doing new tech things. #Microsoft

"Open source by definition keeps the door wide open, legally to boot. But a fork only gives you the code. An open source project is more than its code, it's the sum of its maintainers, infrastructure, trademarks, dependencies, and trust. You can copy the code in seconds, the rest you would need to rebuild from scratch in most cases. The people invoking the right to fork already know this."
