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?

    There is a great video from Naomi Brockwell who basically lays out all the arguments why “I have nohing to hide” is such a bs. I’d recommend watching it and arm yourself with good arguments. That said I partially agree with the other reply, if they don’t won’t, don’t force it. Usually its better to say your arguments for why it matters and then leave them to think about it. Often times they here it here and there and they come asking more later.
