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?

    She could try out OnlyOffice. Maybe she’s happy with that. At least it looks very close to MS Office

      ☝🏼 this — with OnlyOffice I’ve had zero formatting differences sharing docx or xlsx files with M365 or Google Workspace. This was using the desktop version. No idea how real-time collaboration is with the OnlyOffice Workspace version, and would love to hear any experiences.
