- bee_rider 1y agoYeah it is legitimately hard to avoid Google, if nothing else some of your emails will probably be leaked to Gmail. But Microsoft is pretty easy to avoid after their decade of floundering.
- LogicFailsMe 1y agoWhenever I have to use Windows, I just create a new throwaway account on proton, connect it to the mother throwaway account connected to a yahoo email account created in the before times, install what I need, and then never access that account again.
- hshdhdhehd 1y agoIt is fucked you almost need mob levels of burner cell precautions to have privacy and use Excel.
- khazhoux 1y agoHow can I play starcraft 2 without it?
- bee_rider 1y agoApparently it runs in Proton (I haven’t tried it though).
- righthand 1y agoStarcraft 2 w/ Battlenet has been working on Linux for over a decade. You don’t even need Proton, it works lovely with WINE.
- account42 1y agoBesides the obvious answer in the siblings, the more general answer (because there will always be something that won't transfer effortlessly) is that you don't have to play Starcraft 2. If the only way to engage in a leisure activity is by allowing yourself to be raped then maybe you should just not do it.
- sandblast 1y agoYes. Just use Immich for photos. AI scanning, but local and only opt-in.
- inatreecrown2 1y agoyou mean like stop using GitHub?
- surgical_fire 1y agoYes, that too.
- archargelod 1y agoYes. For private repos there is Forgejo, Gitea and Gitlab. For open-source: Codeberg Yes, it'll make projects harder to discover, because you can't assume that "everything is on github" anymore. But it is a small price to pay for dignity.
- zahlman 1y agoWhy not put open-source projects on Gitlab?
- archargelod 1y agoYou can't create new account on Gitlab without a credit card (outside of EU and USA).
- zahlman 1y agoIs there a free platform that will let me blog like GitHub Pages works?
- efreak 1y agoGitlab. Codeberg. Neocities. Nekoweb. Wasmer. Surge. Digital Ocean. Freehostia. Awardspace. 000webhost. Static.run. Kinsta. Cloudflare Pages. Render. Hostinger. Ionos. Bluehost. Firebase. Netlify. Orbiter. Heliohost. There's probably hundreds of services with a free tier these days (though many of them will have strict limitations on website size and traffic, and you may have to run the build step locally).
