   Finally in a mental space where I feel I can start some of the deep disentangling from large tech companies I have been using forever. You know the ones. This has been overwhelming me for a while, so doing some small changes to get momentum to get to where I can complete this. Some movement is hopefully better than no movement.

     If anyone knows any hashtags for expanding the reach of requests like this I would appreciate that also. I don't know where to brgin on wording, amd I don't want to lose what motivation I have atm.

     @commonst this sounds like something that is @HauntedOwlbear's wheelhouse. Not sure if you have met them, they are amazing and lovely.

     Anyone got a good alternative to Lens on Android they would like to rec? Found a new translation app already, but Lens is proving a bit more complicated. I'd love to hear what others find useful.

     How are people replacing their Outlook and Gmail email addressed? I may as well start doing my homework on that too.

     @commonst @DarkestKale oh yeah, @ChatonsOrg and @Framasoft are great

     I host all my own not-gafam stuff at home, but not everyone wants an extra pet/hobby

     @HauntedOwlbear @DarkestKale I deal with software all day at work, occasionally I want to be able to get someone else to do the triage. 😁
