It’s hard out in the world right now. I’ve been unemployed since I moved 🙃 no regrets yet but, starting to get nervous

I left a marriage and moved across the county

It’s Plainfield… What the fuck else are they going to do with their time?

• !degoogle@lemmy.ml
• !lineageos@lemmy.ml

I’m sure there’s a few more but this is what I could think of off the top of my head. It gives you a starting place to check things out.

But for someone who knows none of this, I’d say starting with email is an easy (ish) one. Then whatever the main apps she uses are. Look for FOSS alternatives. It doesn’t need to be everything all at once all the time. One at a time is fine.

Also if she’s on Reddit and not the fediverse r/degoogle and r/privacy are still decent places to learn a few things. If she’s on neither, there’s a lady on most of the big social media platforms called “cut off the spigot.” She covers alternatives for a lot more than just Google though. A lot of finding alternatives to private equity companies.

I just went to Immich for my Google photos replacement. I’ve heard good things about Ente photos as well.

Thanks man

I do not self host. I just wandered in here. Do you have suggested resources to learn more about DNS? I feel like generally searching shit sucks to get an answer like that lately.

Neocities I just checked it out and omg it feels like 2005 in the best way. Thank you.

I think we should bring back individual websites and blogs as well as web rings. Fuck the current state of search engines!

Damn that’s awful

Cool but apparently I need a pass key I don’t have to turn it on…

This whole administration is really giving that scene from Harold and Kumar vibes and I hate it. Or, really any scene with him in it lol.

I know a few people who could greatly benefit from this so this is very exciting.
