I’ve been seeing a lot of shit about google being evil lately… I’m actively transitioning off their products. I’ve now got Firefox on my phone (I fucking can’t do safari, it’s so trash), I’m off android (about a year now) which was super fucking difficult. iOS is much worse, and they aren’t that much better as a company, but it gets updates for more than 2 years…but I hear Linux phones are improving so that will probably be my next move.
My next step is getting rid of gmail which I’ve been on basically since it was launched… that’s going to be painful.
I through all that myself. Except on the phone front I went GrapheneOS & LineageOS. There’s nothing wrong with base Android (the problems with Android are added by Google, Samsung, etc at downstream steps)
And I agree that Gmail was hard to leave. But I went ProtonMail and had Gmail forward there for awhile until eventually nothing was going through Gmail anymore.

Just switch to proton mail. I pay for it so the expectation is set for no ads and the like.
Apple definitely isn’t better as a company. Apple lobby’s the US government to ensure they can still use slave labor.
