After this post, here is how you can ACTUALLY do all of that with Emacs.

Degoogling:

For all my Emacs users out there, am I missing something ? Do you have alternatives / more usable recommandations ?-

A half-joking guide on how to replace all the Google services with Emacs packages.

May I suggest trying VS Codium instead of VS Code for step 3 and potentially (not guaranteed) not be grossed out too much? It's a FOSS version of VS Code that removes telemetry and most of the gross Microsoft stuff.

    Thank you, I've tried it before, but it still has some restrictions like extensions , in my experience I didn't notice a difference as I don't use a lot of extensions, but I still prefer to stay away from anything that Microsoft put limitations on , even if it doesn't affect me now, it might later
