   Looking back over the last 6 months I have done a lot for my personal digital detox and #sovereignty - with a healthy mix of #BoycottAmerica and #BuyFromEU

   I moved my mails, contacts, calendars, maps, photos, switched browsers, got a VPN, adopted new messengers, dropped PayPal, Netflix, Amazon, Dropbox, ChatGPT, ...

   I am now both super grateful and super angry.

     @se What do you use for contacts and calendar?

     I‘m thinking about using NextCloud but I‘m not certain yet

     @se Oh, I also have a mailbox.org account. I need to see how I can get the contacts on my iPhone.

     @GreenSkyOverMe I am using Mailbox.org here but NextCloud would work just as well. Both support the open standards CalDAV and CardDAV. To sync to my phone I use DAVx5 installed for free via F-Droid. On my desktop I am using Thunderbird to then sync the calendar and contacts.

     And lastly I am disappointed in our collective complacency as a society - especially us Europeans.

     While I now try to educate my family and peers, I just sound like a nut job to them - like a militant vegan or a #klimakleber trying to warn the about micro plastic in their brain. Everyone just shrugs like there is nothing we can do.

     We must get our shit together.

     On the other hand, I am quite angry about #palantir, #facebook, and other Trojan horses undermining our free democracy. If we don't make a stand and get our shit together, this won't end well.

     albi insincerely yours repeated this.

     I am extremely grateful for the great work of @mailbox_org @threemaapp @signalapp @nextcloud @openstreetmap @mullvadnet and all the others that fight for #sovereignty and against #bigtech. The #unplugtrump movement would not be possible without you.

     You have been at this for years, and I just opened my eyes a few months ago.
