Hey everyone,
I’ve been thinking a lot about how to help my parents reduce their reliance on American Big Tech (Google, Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, etc.). They’re not tech-savvy, and I don’t want to overwhelm them or make them feel like I’m forcing a radical change. At the same time, I’m concerned about privacy, data collection, and the monopolistic practices of these companies.
Any ideas? First of all I thought about ecosia, I see that it returns more similar results to google than Qwant.
I want to buy them Threema licence.
I installed Le Chat as chatgpt replacement, moved some documents to Synology Nas
What’s next?
My mom was also hanging on facebook way too much. Then they asked her to upload selfie video and her ID and she was like “no way I am gonna give them that” and that was that, problem solved I guess 😀 The issue with older people I find is that they are sceptical or even cynical, or they just think it doesn’t matter because they are reaching the end if you know what I mean.
