Hey everyone,

Iโ€™ve been thinking a lot about how to help my parents reduce their reliance on American Big Tech (Google, Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, etc.). Theyโ€™re not tech-savvy, and I donโ€™t want to overwhelm them or make them feel like Iโ€™m forcing a radical change. At the same time, Iโ€™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

Whatโ€™s next?

This is a tricky thing to do. I'd say start with yourself. On your journey you will find what could be interesting to which family member. All of them doesn't have to migrate at the same time with the same product.

Small steps is always easier to take.
