Aug. 20th, 2020 10:33 amSpeaking of de-googling, a milestone:
This backup cycle, I didn't perform a Google Takeout because there was nothing to take.
My spreadsheets are now local files accessed through Gnumeric. I've moved my email and calendar to mailbox.org, with the email accessed through Thunderbird (and a custom domain, to reserve the right to move again if I wish). While I haven't yet set up an automatic sync between my phone and laptop contact lists, Google isn't the master copy anymore: Thunderbird is. I made the local software library I've been wanting, which doubles as a list of apps I have. There's really nothing important in the Chromium settings I barely use: it's not worth taking if I'm not throwing it in with a bunch of other stuff (and probably not even then).
The only thing on Google worth archiving now is my set of Google Play app reviews, and that changes much less often than fortnightly.
